You too?   Please network this notice to people that it will help.   OUR LEADERS AND PHYSICIANS ARE ECOZOMBIES. YOU TOO? We each have the inherent ability to register and consider our immediate surroundings. You are doing this now as you read this letter or when you turn your attention elsewhere. A person who visits a natural area and spends most of their time there habitually thinking about other things (personal problems, money, success, etc.) has become an Ecozombie, a desensitized, environmental deadhead. They have lost the use of their inborn ability to register Nature for it is compulsively focused elsewhere. They are disconnected from the benefits of nature's peace, purity and spirit. Be alarmed! Most of us are ecozombies. It is normal. We become ecozombies because, on average, over 95% of our time and 99.9% of our thinking is disconnected from nature. This staggering separation is like an abortion from the womb of Mother Earth. It traumatically denies us the supportive energies of our sensory loves and origins in nature and their ability to produce balanced relationships. Our thinking loses conscious contact with nature's intelligence, perfection and beauty. We feel a wanting void inside us. That hurt underlies our greatest personal, social and environmental disorders. Most key leaders and professional people are entrenched ecozombies. Their ecological insensitivity is an unstated requirement for being prominent in our nature conquering society. As the state of the world shows, our leaders often lead us further astray. A nature reconnecting sensory science, the Natural Systems Thinking Process (NSTP), recognizes that biologically and psychologically, you and I are part of Nature and must respect this kinship. If you have ever had a good experience with Nature, even with your pet, then you, like most people, know that our soul naturally seeks Nature's nurture, healing, and regenerative qualities. This is why leadership, education or counseling that includes contact with attractions in nature is always more successful. "We have dramatically increased our program's effectiveness by adding the Natural Systems Thinking Process to it. It enables our participants to connect with their sensory origins in nature and use that peaceful power to improve their relationships with self, society and the environment. " James Rowe, Director, Outward Bound School, Costa Rica For the wellness of people and our planet home, anyone may learn and teach NSTP nature reconnecting techniques, backyard or back country. Why not take control of your destiny and use NSTP to rehabilitate the ecozombie parts of yourself and others? Keywords: new, free, simple, easily available, responsible, teachable, rewarding. April 22, 2001 is Earthday. It has been declared the first day of Ecozombie Rehabilitation Year. We urge you to help people and Earth recover from our trespasses. Please sign our Ecozombie Rehabilitation Proclamation and enjoy the nature connected benefits of the Natural Systems Thinking Process. It will help you meet your desire for belonging, peace and sanity. http://www.53senses.com http://www.ecozombie.com For Unity, Michael J.
