We are part of nature and it sustains the global life community without producing our garbage, disorders or abusiveness. 2. Natural systems pervade nature and are self-correcting. They recycle, purify and nurture wherever they flow, in and around us. 3. We excessively suffer our disorders because we don't connect with nature's grace, balance and restorative powers to help us remedy our troubles. 4. We spend, on average, 98 percent of our life indoors, separated from nature. To our loss, our thinking and feeling are extremely disconnected from nature's healing ways.

Cohen .......How Nature Works (1986)   NOTE: The experience described below occured 13 years after, in 1952, I began exploring why people were more friendly and relaxed while they were in a natural area. During this period I lived with others for extended periods in natural settings and I developed ways of interpreting nature that helped demonstrate that nature, "Knows what it is doing and what to do to maintain its perfection as a paradise. Because we are part of nature, people in natural settings have the ability to sense and embrace nature's ways and this improves their relationships with themselves and each other."   "The senses, being the explorers of the world, open the way to knowledge." -MARIA MONTESSORI   Deep in the bowels of Grand Canyon National Park, a spectacle of color and towering cliffs marks the place where Bright Angel Creek joins the Colorado River. There, in 1966, a thunderstorm on a broiling August day cracked my twentieth-century prejudices about life and the land. To keep cool in this desert country, I hiked shirtless. Occasionally, I munched potato chips to maintain my body's salt level. As I did when I passed Phantom Canyon, when I crossed the bridge spanning the muddy Colorado my hand touched my surprisingly icy stomach while the air temperature was 120 degrees. My years of scientific training went to work: "This is a cooling mechanism. Evaporating sweat molecules carry away excess body heat, leaving this residue of salt on my skin." It never occurred to me that miracles, not just molecules, kept my body temperate while the sun scorched the world about me. Thunderclouds moved in from the southwest. "Now you're going to see something amazing," I told the twenty expedition members who accompanied me. "As the thunderstorm rains, the heat evaporates the raindrops. We'll see the rain fall, but we won't get wet down here." We were a mile below the rim. I knew this would happen. It had happened almost every year on this outdoor learning trek, which I inaugurated in 1959. The expedition students looked skeptical, but the prospect of a "dry" storm excited them. The dark clouds rolled in and poured torrents, drenching us while we stood agape."Hey, look everybody, I'm really dry," taunted one soaked girl, while smirking group members scurried for cover, gleefully mumbling, "Oh sure, Mike, it never rains in the Grand Canyon." How often those words would assail me that summer and in the years to come. Somehow, most students I worked with heard about the incident. Whenever I came close to predicting anything I'd hear "Sure Mike, and it never rains in the Grand Canyon." But the skies opened up and rain it did. Quickly the canyon cooled. Like soap suds rinsed from shampooed hair, the red sands and clays of the Grand Canyon sloshed over the thousand-foot inner gorge walls that loomed above us. Everywhere, blood-red water cascaded and the roaring river turned from tan to murky maroon. The trembling canyon felt like a vein gathering and carrying blood. For a moment, I sensed we were in a gigantic organism's bloodstream. The flowing landscape seemed alive. And just like my evaporating sweat had cooled me, evaporating rain now cooled the canyon, furthering this sense of aliveness. As I watched Grand Canyon salts run downriver to the sea, I wondered, "Why does the sea never become too salty, or the land never too hot for life? This is part of the intelligence of life, it is aware of what it's doing." Then it all came together as the self-balancing homeostasis of life. I put words to what I was feeling. I experienced Planet Earth as a living organism that knows how to survive. I was dumbfounded. I tried to dismiss the idea but it hung on as if for dear life. I thought I was the only person in the world who had ever entertained this notion and I spent time considering whether I should embrace it and risk credibility or support. I'd be seen as a freak. I would be walking an unnecessary giant step into the beyond. Crazier still, I felt I could take this risk because the earth would back me up like a loving mother or family. That was nuts. Just thirty minutes earlier planet Earth, to me, was a dead geologic structure floating around the sun. I moved onto a crack in the ancient cliff face and it felt like the warm rocks smiled at me. Slowly, I made the decision. I'd live with the idea that Earth acted like, or could be, a living organism. I immediately felt like part of me had walked into a different world and married it. It still does. I recognized myself and the planet as living kin because, to survive, the wilderness and I share the challenge of becoming too hot, cold, salty or toxic. The living planet's biology, geology and chemistry are its metabolism; night-day, night-day, night-day its heartbeat. Warm evaporating inland seas serve as kidneys; air and water are flowing plasma. In congress, all aspects of Earth compose a planet-size intelligence, a wise gigantic self-regulating plant cell whose life approaches perfection. The cell knows how to organize, preserve and regenerate itself, and how to create and sustain its diverse life without pollution, war insanity or loneliness. Perhaps Earth is a fertilized egg of the universe. It is the only life of its kind that we know. As such, it deserves protection under the endangered species act. Self-doubt possessed me. It was 1966, sixteen years before I heard of the Gaia hypothesis, three years before James Lovelock even conceived it. My understanding of Gaia grew as I learned that every eighty million years the salt content of the sea doubles, but the sea never becomes more saline; Mars and Venus, the two planets surrounding Earth, become warmer as the sun gets hotter, but Earth's temperature stays within the limits necessary for life's existence, and our atmosphere maintains oxygen in amounts neither too great nor too small for all life to survive. Scientific investigations continue to validate what I sensed that day in the Grand Canyon. They show that life will succumb to pollution, chemical and physical forces. To survive, it needs the grace and self-correcting, purifying powers that help it balance restore and recycle itself. Recent findings indicate that Planet Earth's biology, physiology and geology are tightly linked into a single indivisible attraction process that resonates within and about us and can reasonably register in our thinking through the science of Natural Attraction Ecology. "Organism Earth" not only shows signs of life but, in addition, it registers itself in our natural mind, senses and feelings. For example, its water cycle includes us due to our senses of thirst and excretion. This possibility has become more accepted in our society and has helped others enjoy experiences similar to mine. In the year 2010, James Cameron's film depiction of the planet Pandora and the relationship of the Na'vi to it are the closest image I've seen to what I discovered in the Grand Canyon with respect to the truth of humanity and Earth that I convey in my Webstring Model, books and courses What Cameron represents in the fantasy of his film, I have demonstrated to be true and accessible to anybody, now, on Earth, via my scientific process of Educating, Counseling and Healing With Nature (ECHN). My books and courses enable an individual's thoughts and feelings to choose to make this therapeutic connection with authentic nature as an organism or living cathedral.

Alarm! Alarm! Well-being at risk Help turn the tide! www.SaneEarth.com                               "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 receive from 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.
