................................
Friends of Natural Systems"Walk the Talk" Course Mentoring and Internship Opportunities.
Think of the PNC web site as a welcome center to the PNC program, one that gives written information about benefits we offer.
The Friends of Natural Systems interactive group list is the information booth of our welcome center. There, we we answer questions, give examples and engage inquirers in parts of the program so they may learn from experience, the best teacher.
If we take into consideration industrial society's prejudicial posture against nature and its systems, to try to make Organic Psychology popular in contemporary society is similar to trying to make a person of color popular in the Ku Klux Klan.
If Organic Psychology practioners and teachers want to act in ways that honor nature and gain the respect and support we deserve for our intentions and contributions, we must, as part of our work, meet the challenge of helping the public overcome its prejudice against nature.
We must walk our talk and use the Organic Psychology of NSTP to help address the world's unnecessary vulnerability to the damaging wounds from Natural System Dysfunction (NSD).
Prejudice results from addictive psychological bonding to stories. When we bond to inaccurate stories, to change is difficult and the results are detrimental effects and the pain they produce.
Natural System Dysfunction (NSD) results from us bonding to limiting nature-disconnected stories. Destructively, they omit our attraction sensitivities to and about how natural systems work to produce nature's perfection within and around us:
What causes Natural System Dysfunction?
To help us thoughtfully survive as part of nature, we are born with the ability of our consciousness to register in sensory ways how natural systems and their eons work. We experience this knowledge as natural senses and feelings that our thinking incorporates to produce stories about how the world works, stories that we co-create with nature.
Natural System Dysfunction (NSD) occurs when when our society's unwarranted and hurtful exploitation of nature drives our natural senses and feelings into our subconscious to escape further injury and suffering from society. Their loss to our consciousness prevents us from including their eons of balanced wisdom in our thinking. This loss results in us producing and suffering painful discontents and disorders. NSD erodes our lives and all of life.
The antidote for NSD is an enabling Organic Psychology tool, the Natural Systems Thinking Process (NSTP). It empowers us to genuinely reconnect our consciousness and thinking to the grace balance and regenerative powers of authentic natural systems in us and the environment. This connection improves our thinking ability. It helps us make better sense of our lives and heal our disorders. It enables us to build mutually supportive relationships with the world of people, places and things.
Help Overcome NSD
To meaningfully reverse NSD, in addition to learning how to use NSTP through the PNC courses
- we must help the public become more involved with Organic Psychology
- we must reduce the public's prejudice against becoming more involved and supportive of Organic psychology.
As with reversing other forms of prejudice, outlawing it and bringing people into safe contact and familiarity with, and rewards from Organic Psychology are the means to meet this goal. To this end, a public learning and healing clinic has been established called Friends Of Natural Systems. (Friends)
As part of the Degree and Certification Program, students are required to be mentors available to the public at the Friends Yahoo group list, or to intern there as guides once they have:
- completed Chapter 8 in the Orientation Course and
- as part of Part 9 in the Button Activity of Chapter Nine in the Web of Life Imperative book.
.
Participating in Friends is required of all students:
- as part of meeting the requirements of ECO 751A
- as a means to be mutually supportive of PNC
- as a return gift for the support PNC offers students in grants, scholarships, loans and accommodating payment schedules.
- as an opportunity to act and contribute sensibly in meeting the challenge presented by Natural Systems Dysfunction and our society's prejudice against nature,
- as a welcoming interface between Organic Psychology and members of the public injured by NSD.
- as an empowerment tool to help overcome apathy in themselves and others,
- as becoming skilled in helping the public become familiar with Organic Psychology and acting as a portal and catalyst to this end,
- as a means to let their guiding presence be felt in increasing the well being of natural systems within and about us.
- as a deterrant and preventative in stopping our trepasses of natural systems
- as a means to bring additional people into PNC programs and make PNC more self-suffecient.
- as an opportunity to walk the talk of Organic Psychology as part of an affinity group.
ONLINE TOOLS and PROCESSES FOR PNC STUDENTS.
Please vist this list of online learning and teaching tools that mentors, interns and participants in Friends of Natural Systems may use to meet the goals and opportunities stated above:
What would you like to add to the list?
SUPPORTIVE ONLINE PROCESSES AVAILABLE:
1. Whenever your PNC course group posts, find the most attractive or important things that appeared and post them to Friends in 300 words or less. Include why they attract you.
2. When postings come up in your courses that demonstrate some attractive part of Organic Psychology in action, post them to Friends with a title that points to their value to you or the world. (For example, natural attractions are a supportive and unifying middle ground between intelligent design and evolution.)
3. When somebody new to PNC posts an attraction at Friends, let them know in a short statement what was attractive to you about their post. Treat the Friends list as if it was a continuation of the unifying learning from natural attractions process we use on the courses. Help the process pull other into it because it is attractive and beneficial.
4. Invite new folks to share more, perhaps make a supportive side group with them and post highlights of it to Friends.
5. Invite new folks to do one of the activities with you and maybe some others. The one best all around learning activity seems to be the Secrets of Nature Trail
6. Help folks who seem to be stressed to get on the natural attraction path by finding and sharing attractions they find in natural areas. Get their consent to be their guide or mentor, (drawing them out, helping them find more attractions)
7. Encourage folks who would benefit, to do the Orientation Course so they have the expertise to help others and thereby learn more. Or have them form a group of friends and you facilitate the Orientation Course with them. We may make this a payed position.
