NATURAL COMMUNITY COURSE:
I REFUSE TO LET IT GO
I do have to say that my feeling
of "community" is changing radically and there are
lessons I am learning that seem to be leading to something I
can't quite put my finger on right now. Some of it makes no "sense"
in words right now, but it feels very important somehow.
For instance - I'm beginning to feel that "community"
is not a group of people - it's the feeling I have when I'm with/in
a group of people - or completely alone outside. I'm finding
I can connect with one tiny tree and feel peace, love, joy -
or , as recent situations have "forced" - I can be
with one person, or a large group of people and still feel that
same peace, love, and joy. Mindful explanations or word definitions
might say that I've connected to something in me - my natural
self? - that makes all other connections either easy ... or maybe
not so important anymore. Darned if I know. I just know that
I'm not as actively looking for "like-minded" others
- I'm looking for that active feeling I like.
A few days ago, when doing some yard work (mentally checking
off "tasks" to be done), I took a moment to follow
a feeling and ended up working with the soil around some little
trees I planted two years ago that are now trying very hard to
become big trees. As I worked the soil, I found myself talking
to them of how big and strong they are becoming and how delighted
I am to be sharing their experiences with them. The feeling was
pure bliss. Then I realized that some of the same words I was
speaking to them were words I had used the previous Sunday preaching
the Children's Sermon at church. Even when the words were not
the same - the sense of love was, the feeling of connection was.
That's when I started to realize that it wasn't the connection
to the actual tree, or the connection to the congregation that
I was feeling. I was NOT feeling a connection (a webstring
that can be "seen" or defined) I was feeling the "result
of connecting". Again, I'll be darned if I can say to what
I was connected - just that I was connected to "something"
and it felt WONDERFUL! My mind says I was connected to All That
Is, and if so then my feeling tells me that I was experiencing
true "unity" - or - common unity - or community.
Community - not something(s) or someone(s), but rather some wonderful
feeling that comes from somewhere that is - for now - undefinable
to me. BUT :) it feel so good that even though I can't define/explain/label
it - I absolutely refuse to let it go.
And maybe that's what's happening to this course email group!
We're feeling the result of our connection, of thinking together,
computing together, of mutual exercises and experiences. We can
and are willing to let go of the physical aspects - the lessons,
the keyboards, the questions. We're just not willing - or, and
this might just be the kicker! - we are NOT ABLE to disconnect
from the results of our connecting. We can change our minds -
but we can't change unity.
I think we've stumbled on to something much more important than
the course questions Yes?
Act now.

"Human
behavior is rooted most deeply in nature's intentions and desire.
The rhythms of nature underlie all of human interaction: religious
traditions, economic systems, cultural and political organization.
When these human forms betray the natural psychic pulse, people
and societies get sick, nature is exploited and entire species
are threatened."
-Stephen
Aizenstat
In industrial society our excessively nature-separated lives
mold us to betray the natural psychic pulse. We learn to block
from our thinking over 98 percent of the wise sensory callings
and fulfillments we normally share with natural systems and their
eons of experience. Our subconscious hurt and frustration from
the severed disconnection of these senses underlies our greatest
troubles.
-Michael
J. Cohen
Benefit from
learning to enhance the natural psychic pulse within and around
us. Add the sensory ecoscience of Organic Psychology to your life and livelihood.
