The
fossil record
demonstrates that creation, biologically, culturally and
spiritually evolved humanity in
the tropical environment of East Africa.
In that naturally attractive "Eden like" womb of the biosphere, warmth
and food were
consistently available because seasonal changes were minimal.
Natural
People:
As
ancient humanity migrated into areas with dramatically changing
seasons, most cultures socialized themselves with stories that said:
"We must seek, register and respect the attractive and ever changing
sensory signals from this place and our love for it. We must respect
how its signals help us feel and think in a good way. The Great Spirit
of Mother Nature will help us survive by sensuously
communicating her fluctuations to us so that we may act appropriately
and supportively."
Natural
survival depended
upon expertly sustaining
emotional sensitivity
and gratitude
to
life-supportive sensory-emotive communications from natural
attraction and the
flow of natural
systems. For example: when a certain flower turned blue it attracted a
natural person's sense of color and signaled this was the time the
salmon were running, that food was available or that seeds should be
planted.
Tropicmakers: The
ancient groups that originated contemporary culture socialized
themselves to a different story. It said: "To survive throughout the
seasons, we must create artificial tropic-simulating 'closets.' By
living in these imitations of the tropics, we may protect ourselves
from nature's changes and enjoy a constant warmth and food supply, as
if we were in
a tropical area.
Our survival does not depend upon thinking that includes attraction
signals from
our natural senses and feelings while in contact with nature. Rather,
it depends upon our leaders' creativity and intelligence to develop
'tropic-making' techniques/technologies."
Our
society programs our natural
attractions, thinking
and perceptions
to be prejudiced against
nature and,
to be attracted to
artificial tropic-like substitutes.
We
learn to use natural
sensitivities and systems in people and places as resources. We learn
to love and
support our leaders and their ability to produce imitations of tropical
life. They can artificially and creatively replace the tropic's natural
warmth, food supply, medicine,
food storage, entertainment, recreation and transportation that we need
for
our survival and happiness."
Today,
we are increasingly
disconnected from the
beneficial sensory pulse and resonation of natural systems. The
tropicmaking thinking of contemporary people has fixated or addicted us
to excessive sensory rewards from nature-exploitive stories,
technologies, profit, power and prestige that often act as a form of
terrorism against natural systems.
Tropicmaking
also addicts us
to
tranquilizing the emotionally-abusive discomfort created by these
nature-disconnected substitutes and their adverse side-effects on us,
as
well as on the environment.
It
is reasonable to
recognize that we seldom
improve personal or global peace and well being because we are secretly
socialized to fight an undeclared war against nature within and about
us. To destroy our own life-support system is a form of insanity.
It underlies the stress and madness of contemporary life.
Insight
from our 53 natural attraction senses and
feelings have
little value in our tropical-imitation indoor world. We learn to
train, subdue or conquer them rather than support them. Too often, to
produce a profit, we learn to think and feel like we are cultural
objects rather than as contributing sensitive members of Earth's life
community.
As
tropicmakers, constant
blessings from imaginative
distant-God stories and/or technologies often replace the joy and other
supportive rewards we would ordinarily receive from the recuperative
flow of natural systems in our immediate environment. We also lose the
value of expressing our inborn, community-building gratitude to nature
and our natural
attraction love
for the natural
life-spirit
that we find in people,
places and things.
Tropicmakers
often
experience the natural to be
"flaky, fuzzy, environmentalism, fearful, emotional, unscientific or
taboo."
The
key to contemporary
survival has become
nature-disconnected thinking and its controlling stories that often
stress our senses and loves. That process deteriorates well-being.
Unfortunately,
as our
fixation to these stories supports excessive
technologies, profits and industrial growth, they increase our
disorders. This occurs because disconnected stories further deteriorate
our natural systems and the common natural
attraction sense
they give us.

Delusion:
During the first six years of childhood we socialize (McBurger)
youngsters to
change from their birth as natural beings into fledgling tropicmakers.
Our tropicmaking socialization leads us to believe that the
disconnection of our thinking and feeling from its attraction to
nature's grace and
restorative powers is progress, that it is benign and that it does not
underlie the discomforting falsehoods, emotional imbalance, psychic
wounds and
isolated lifestyles that stress us.
It
is not possible to
amputate away the loves or
ecstasy of an organism and not have that organism suffer and want. The
organism senses that something valuable about it is missing. It never
has enough. Without the tranquilization of its discomfort, it always
wants more, if nothing else, more tranquilizers.
This
is especially
true when the organism we amputate is us and what we amputate away is
our
inherent natural love of life and our planet.
Our
tropicmaking mentality
today is like a
computer that has foolishly unplugged itself from its energy sources.
Without its sources, the computer is stupid. It is unable to discover
what's wrong or compute how to re-plug itself. Our excessive
disconnection of our thinking from nature's balanced natural
attraction ways
is doing the
same thing to our psyche.
Educating,
counseling and healing with nature helps you remedy this problem.
Restoration: Once
we recognize the tropicmaking source of our dysfunctions, the story of
how to remedy them becomes apparent: "Learn to use a tool that helps
you replace what's missing. The tool helps you genuinely plug your
thinking and feeling into the natural attraction vibrancy
and wisdom of natural systems.
Restore their attractive flow in and through your body mind and spirit.
Enjoy the safe, lasting satisfaction and renewal this provides. If you
don't do this, your psyche will more severely express its hurt and
wanting sooner or later, for it builds up."
"We are dysfunctional
socially and environmentally because we are cut off and isolated from
the world of nature and the natural."

The
positive process along with the specific outcomes and general
outcomes of
genuinely reconnecting
our thinking with natural systems speak
for themselves.
Some people consider the
process and its results to
be a contemporary form of Shamanism
or Pantheism.
