Many individuals note that the
time
they have spent in natural areas has energized their spirit, renewed
the joy of their aliveness and cleared their mind. It is
self-evident to them that this connection has amazing purifying and
restorative powers; it renewed or maybe enchanted their thoughts and
feelings in a good way. This approaches the natural state of our body, mind and spirit.
Industrial
Society takes the beneficial powers
of nature for granted, or demeans, exploits or conquers them with
hurtful and unbalancing results on personal, social and environmental
levels.
Quality time in nature is seldom
validated in scientific or spiritual
circles as being moments when the dance of nature within us is
connected to nature's dance around us.
In contemporary
thinking, nature is usually
not recognized as the
self-perpetuating, attractive dance of aliveness from the beginning of
time. However, most of us are aware of nature this way on
deeper,
felt-sense levels. This is because the dance is Nature's nature
and it
lets us know this on its natural terms, in and around us.
The sensory way of knowing nature's dance is normally foreign
to our daily lives because, in Industrial Society, on average, over 98
percent of our time, senses and thinking are literate and indoors. They
are separated from, and out of tune with nature's non-literate dance of
the eons.
When we measure labels, stories, courses, degrees and our socialization
by their long term effects, it is obvious that they, along with the facts they use, are corrupt because we can see that their outcomes are corrupt with respect to
living in sustainable balance with nature's dance around and in us. This corruption must be corrected if
we are to increase our personal, social and environmental well-being.
Today, the sensory
science of Natural
Attraction Ecology (NAE) empowers us to strengthen nature's ability to genuinely interlace with our psyche. Doing this
helps us recycle the corrupting pollutants that have been
introduced into
our nature-disconnected thoughts, feelings and relationships.
NAE
accomplishes this "unbelievable" feat through an Organic Psychology (OP) whose
art of Educating, Counseling and
Healing With Nature (ECHN) enables
us,
backyard or backcountry, to create moments that let nature's authentic
dance
teach us what we need to know to come into balance with our living
planet and ourselves.
NAE gives us the ability to remove the warp in our nature-disconnected
glasses
that prevents us from consciously registering, thinking and feeling
with nature's self-perpetuating
and attractive dance of aliveness. It replaces the warp with a sensory
focus that embraces nature's dance as
the fountainhead of authority in how it works.
The Journal of Organic
Psychology and Natural Attraction Ecology article entitled "A Peak Fact: Natural Attraction is Alive
Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing but the Truth,"
describes
the irrefutable veracity of NAE. It shows that like a self-inflating
balloon, in non-literate ways, the natural attraction energy of the Big
Bang has through the eons manifested itself on Planet Earth and
beyond, as
self-correcting natural attraction material and non-material
relationships, sub-atomic to inter-galactic.
The Peak Fact
OP/NAE article and its links
scientifically affirm how, moment by moment the natural
attraction process of the standard universe concretely expresses itself
as
nature's dance, in and around us, including as our thoughts, feelings
and sensitivities. If we are part of our Universe, how could this not
be so?
The article explains, for example, that, as part of the universal
natural attraction process, your attraction
to the words you are now reading and their
story here, in this moment, is a seamless continuum of the Big Bang and
its growth into greater
and greater diverse attractiveness
over the eons. This is true for all the naturally balanced attractions
that you and I experience. The article verifies that this is the same
reason that time spent in natural areas produces the irrifutable
results described
in the opening paragraph, above.
The OP/NAE Journal
is designed to help its readers address the momentous challenge
of transforming the corrupt ways we learn to think and feel into
constructive relationships that increase the well-being of self,
society and the rest of the natural world.
Most of us learn to overlook and disbelieve
that the excessive disconnection of our thoughts and
feelings from the natural attraction essence of nature's dance, in and
around us, is the cause of our greatest problems. We
therefore don't believe that reconnecting our mind, body and spirit
back to the dance of authentic nature is not only
possible, but that it makes a powerful contribution to doing what we
must do
before further deterioration of the dance critically injures us
and
our planet mother.
Disbelievers are invited to consider the facts via two
powerful online sources offered in the Journal article along with their
links. They are helpful in reversing the core of our mental
crisis:
Other OP/NAE Journal articles and our Website Index will help
you:
-Discover how to
increase your success and happiness by strengthening personal, social
and environmental well being.
-Honor your prior
training and life
experience; and learn how we provide financial assistance and
equivalence credit for
it.
-Recognize that, due to a misguided way that
we learn to think in
Industrial Society, we and nature's global life community suffer the
fraud and corrupt thinking found in many
disorders.
-Address the loss of well-being that results
from our thinking's excessive
exploitation of nature's dance and attraction energies, in and around
us.
-Realize that the origin of
our runaway
disorders
is Industrial Society's refusal to admit that it is unreasonably
disconnected from nature's dance in natural areas.
-Note how our
excessive conquering and exploitive relationship with nature's healing powers,
in and
around us, makes us dysfunctional
and produces many disorders.
-Make a potent contribution to
person and planet well-being. Be
paid to learn and teach a green
remedy for
our destructive prejudice against nature
and its hurtful effects.
-Give
you a simple problem solving tool that helps you connect your thinking
and feeling with
the dance of nature's wisdom, in and around you.
-Explore how nature's
web-of-life
community dance has the
attractive self-correcting ability to restore itself, be
the injury a bulldozed landscape, a scraped knee or our stressed
psyche.
-Observe
how nature can't help us
correct our disorders
when our thinking is prejudicially socialized to disconnect us from
nature's
ability to help us.
-Become more aware that we
are naturally born into, and part of, the global ecosystem life
community, that our body,
mind and soul are designed to be in natural attraction tune
with, and
nurtured by, the living
earth
throughout our lives...and vice-versa.
-Validate
that to be part of
any system, one has to
be in communication with it and
that to this end,
we
inherit from
nature more than
50
natural senses.. For example,
when in a natural area,
our
natural attraction sensations/senses of thirst,
motion, trust, belonging, color, place, taste, music, temperature,
beauty, consciousness and community are all
natural system connections and communications that
we
beneficially experience.
-Know that we are naturally
designed to
consciously register our
54 natural senses and thoughtfully balance
our lives with nature
through information from them.
-Be thankful
that each natural sense
helps us make greater sense; that each is an attraction to
support life...a deep,
inherent love of nature...a natural feeling and spirit.
-See that,
to
our loss,
we
learn to dismiss
rather
than to energize, validate, honor and think with our natural senses,
moment by
moment.
-Be
conscious that we
suffer our greatest
troubles because, on average, our society's unwarranted prejudice
against nature has habituated us to disconnect over
98
percent of our time,
thinking
and senses from
nature's renewing
ways. This profound
loss leaves us
wanting.
-Note that
when we want,
there is never
enough. This makes us
feel that we are not enough.
Our wanting spawns our
greed, stress and lack
of self-worth along with our excessiveness, abusiveness and fraudulence.
-Register that our
denial of our prejudice against, and excessive
disconnection from, nature's self-correcting web of life is our
underlying problem.
-Reduce our
destructive bias. We must reasonably learn
and teach
how to genuinely reconnect our thinking with the natural attraction
energies of the web of life. We must
increase and strengthen our familiar, attractive, mutually-supportive connections with
nature's restorative powers, in and around us, backyard or backcountry.
-Experience the beneficial
outcomes of
activities that help you genuinely connect with nature so you may trust
them
-Reduce
our disconnection from nature's
benefits. This program enables you,
moment by moment, to authentically reconnect to our natural
origins, to
increasingly
think, feel and relate in balance and beauty, like the dance of
nature's perfection
works.
-Know
how to prove that we need to reconnect with nature's dance in and around us. Any
good experience we have already had in nature -like a quiet "walk
on the beach"- is the self-evident
proof.
-Always keep in mind that the purity of
life
in balance through the eons is the indisputable evidence and
proof of
itself.
