"It is quite clear to me after several years in the environmental movement that all physical problems of man's impact on the environment - pollution of the air and waters, the desecration of the land, the contamination of the food chain - all start within the environment of man's mind."

FOUR FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS FOR POTENTIAL MEMBERS OF FRIENDS OF NATURAL SYSTEMS

What is nature?
Nature can be seen as an attraction fulfillment process. In it natural attractions organize, integrate, correct and regenerate themselves as systems, including sensitivities, that grow through mutual support. In this way nature's organization produces optimums of life, balance, preservation, cooperation and diversity without producing garbage and with minimal abuse, stress, pollution and dysfunction.

.
What are natural systems?
Natural systems are the self-organization of natural attractions into more stable, mutually beneficial life-supportive, cyclic relationships.

.
What do all things and life have in common?
They all consist of and are part of natural systems and their perfection.

.
Can anything be part of a system and not be in some kind of communication with that system?
No, with one exception.


Experiencing Natural Systems

When a car goes through a car wash, it is touched by it. We know connections occur because the car's contact with brushes, rags, soap, water, hot air and pressure register how the car then looks or works.

The car demonstrates or "signals" that the contact has taken place. It has changed and become cleaner; more of its original self shines through. If the car was conscious, it would know/register it was in a car wash and how the wash was affecting it.

Similar to a car entering a car wash, when we enter a natural area, or any area, we register in our consciousness our contact with this new environment including its natural systems. This is because our senses and thoughts are designed by nature to help our mind chronicle and become aware of the area's colors, motions, sounds, pressures, temperature, relationships and a host of other attributes. This awareness lets us know where we are. Our environment registers in our consciousness. There, we can include it in our thinking. As it does for all natural systems, it helps us more sensibly relate to the area and the world, including the people in our world.

Obviously, our thinking and perceptions are affected by our sensory contacts with natural systems within and about us. We can be sensibly naturally guided by them and by thoughts that develop around them.

 

Registering Natural Systems:

In my natural systems workshop for our membership group support team, I write the symbol H20 on the blackboard and ask the group what it represents. Most members recognize H2O as the chemical formula for water, that H stands for hydrogen, and O represents oxygen. Members acknowledge that they neither sense nor see hydrogen or oxygen, that the formula informs them about these things that they do not concretely experience.

I then familiarize the membership with the following water cycle:
water -> evaporates from the sea,-> becomes clouds that bring water -> as rain to the land where it goes through -> plants and animals, including people, and then continues -> on into lakes or rivers -> to the sea which then starts the -> evaporation cycle again.

I ask this holistic organizaion's membership what it is about their bodies that draws water into them and through them in a regulated way so that the flow does not result in too much or too little water in us. "Can you define or describe the arrow -> that attracts and regulates water as it runs through people?" I ask them.

Usually, nobody comes up with the correct answer, even though they have all experienced that arrow (->) continually throughout their lives. "H2O" they know from their education and organizations, but their personal lifelong experiences with water are often missing from their thinking.

 

Membership and the Unseen Arrow

The -> of attraction that brings water into our bodies is the sense of thirst; the arrow represents an attraction/sensation to water, a sense, thirst, that we inherit from the natural world in order to help us know and relate to the water in the world. Thirst is our innate ability to register in our consciousness and thinking, our attraction/need for water.

Thirst is also a sensory attraction intelligence that "reads" our body and then turns itself on and off appropriately in our awareness. It attracts us to drink water when we need it, or to stop drinking when we don't. Similarly, the sense of excretion intelligently attracts us to excrete harmful water that is in us.

Neither of these senses would exist if water did not exist. They are an often overlooked part of water cycles and systems because they fluctuate as life demands. Objective science and thinking omits them because they are "subjective." They die or disappear when placed in the "standard conditions" of a laboratory; they control us, not vice versa, and our game is one of control.

It is important to note that each of us knows exactly what that arrow represents for we have experienced it many times. What is frightening is that we often forget that we know that we know it until someone helps us put it into the right words to describe it. Otherwise, we tend to overlook or omit it in our reasoning and organizations. Our sense of reason loses some power and wisdom of life's ability to survive in optimums of diversity and cooperation.

Other arrows, not included in the diagram, attract water to transform into a liquid, gas or solid and into many other things, too. All the arrows represent parts of natural systems that help the water cycle flow.

We often register water systems as additional senses and attractions such as wetness, rain, flow, motion, design, sound, taste, trust, temperature and color. These, however, are not included in the five senses we are taught that we know and learn from. For example, which of our five senses is thirst? Touch? Taste? Smell? Sight? Sound?

We do sense thirst, why don't we teach and learn that we do, that it is one of our senses? What results from our thinking losing the value of the sense of thirst along with the values of an additional 46 natural senses that we learn to disregard:

"The senses, being the explorers of the world, open the way to knowledge."

.....Maria Montessori

 

"We have repressed far more than our sexuality: our very organic nature is now unconscious to most of us, most of the time, and we have become shrunken into two dimensional social or cultural beings, aware of only five of the hundreds of senses that link us to the rich biological nature that underlies and nourishes these more symbolic and recent aspects of ourselves. "

.....Norman 0. Brown

 

 

From their experience, Friends members and their support team group that use organics say you should add them to your personal and professional life if you want to:

  • "find and enjoy greater meaning in your work or play,"
  • "feel more worthwhile,"
  • "validate your true self,"
  • "make a difference,"
  • "produce stronger, more lasting friendships,"
  • "unlock the real you,"
  • "become more whole,"
  • "safely increase your energy and passion,"
  • "add natural support to your religion, spirituality, yoga or meditation,"
  • "reduce job stress,"
  • "release bonds that hold you in a rut,"
  • "become a more interesting person,"
  • "find or develop more meaningful work,"
  • "create a simpler lifestyle,"
  • "find greater freedom,"
  • "nurture your true self,"
  • "increase your resilience,"
  • "become more independent."
