Personal Growth, Wholeness and Nature: genuine connections
to natural systems tap purifying, regenerative energies that
improve healing, recovery and relationships.
PART ONE
 In well documented
training books, courses and research that address the personal
growth properties of Nature, Dr. Michael J. Cohen and his professionally
established Doctoral students at the Institute of Global Education
(IGE) have identified a destructive yet seldom visible attribute
of contemporary life (8). The negative effects of this attribute
produce our alarming headlines yet it goes unnoticed simply because
it is normal.
The IGE group's research into a nature connecting social technology,
the Natural Systems Thinking Process (NSTP), shows that personal
growth guidebooks that teach NSTP dramatically help peple prevent
and counteracts our society's destructive effects. They report
increased benefits for their clients and for personal growth
processes. (5). More and more people seek the NSTP guidebooks
because they recognize the unique legitimacy of profound science
they contain, a science of what we learn to take for granted
(9). The science enables us to consciously deal with contaminated,
hidden emotions that stressfully erode our lives and all of life.
In their books and courses, Cohen and his workers note in
natural systems and nature connected people(s), an absence of
the destructive stress, conflict and environmental pollution
that undermines industrial society (3). They report that the
need for personal growth guidebooks flourishes in our society
because tthey are dedicated to helping people deal with the adverse
effects of contemporary corruption and destructiveness (10) .
They show that personal growth guides that offer a nature connected
component more effectively deal with these adverse effects(13).
 Natural Systems
Thinking research finds that, on average, as contemporary people
we live over 95% of our lives indoors. Over 99.9% of our thinking
is not in tune with natural systems and their balanced, regenerative
perfection. This is destructively significant because we are
born biologically and psychologically part of natural systems
and they part of us (6).
Unlike nature-connected people(s), our dismemberment from
our inherent nurturing origins in Nature leaves us unwhole, subconsciously
hurt and wanting. To satisfy this discontent we seek immediate
rewards and their gratification. We bond to, and become emotionally
dependent on these rewards, and thereby vulnerable to destructive
people and things that provide them. This psychological addiction
so powerfully disconnects our thinking from Nature that we believe
genuinely reconnecting with authentic Nature is neither possible,
beneficial nor acceptable (17). Instead, we continue to repeat
the disconnected thinking processes that produce our troubles(15).
For example, to our loss, we usually take for granted the non-polluting,
rejuvenating, head-clearing power of a short walk in an attractive
natural area. To our benefit, NSTP personal growth guidebooks
awaken us to the walk's significance and value.
The Natural Systems Thinking Process books contribute to personal
growth in that they enable us to genuinely reconnect to Nature,
to learn activities that enable people to think in authentic
conjunction with Nature's purifying balance and beauty, backyard
or back country(12). The documented results of several thousand
connections with Nature made by IGE participants shows a consistent
increase in lasting feelings of wellness, energy, and confidence,
and a decrease in stress, dependencies and depression (16).
The NSTP guidebooks enable an individual to identify and unite
 with the critical
attribute in natural systems that prevents our destructiveness
from occurring in Nature (14). This unification empowers people
to help the natural systems within themselves restore their natural
integrity and regenerative qualities (1). It is these qualities
that produce Nature's perfection. No surprise, they prove advantageous
to disconnected people, and that's most of us(6).
The Natural Systems Thinking Process empowers a personal growth
learner to transform their destructive attraction bonds into
the constructive relationships that help sustain natural systems
in people and places (18). Cohen demonstrates that this is how
Nature works to produce the integrity of its unpolluted relationships
and cooperative diversity(4). In this sense, Nature is personal
growth in action.
Although the information below has proven helpful in further
defining the facts, value and appropriateness of NSTP personal
growth guidebooks, the best way to learn how NSTP works is to
put it to work, to engage yourself in the process. You may accomplish
this via a short, online, personal growth Orientation
Course. Using the guidebooks, it teaches through you experiencing
first hand the art and science of connecting with nature (7).
"This easily accessible program offers an environmentally
sound, educational process that reduces apathy, catalyzes peace
and promotes mental health. It fulfills our personal and economic
needs, deeper ideals and spirit; it deserves the attention of
every person who seeks to reverse our troubles."
