ARE YOU
UNEASY ABOUT LEARNING TO THINK IN TUNE WITH NATURE?
To their
loss, many people have reduced their self-esteem, wellness and
resilience by learning
to feel that there was something strange or wrong about them
for having nature-connected feelings. To your benefit, The
Web of Life Imperative helps you reverse this syndrome
in yourself and others.
"The most touching thought
was when one group member said, "Therefore, if I feel the
beauty of this tree, it is a part of me, part of who I am. So
I am (at least in part) beauty." It took me sometime to
process this thought, but after doing WLI activities, I believe
it to be true."

The 36 co-authors of The Web of Life Imperative
help you learn and use a time-tested, practical, Natural Systems Thinking Process. This organic, nature-connecting psychological
tool enables you to powerfully address three crucial, but often
ignored, facts of contemporary life. Do you recognize these facts
and their significance?
1. Most
efforts for a better tomorrow are bound to fail in the long run
if they don't reconnect with nature our destructive, nature-disconnected
consciousness. This is because
the disconnection of our consciousness from nature's vital support
and renewal makes us emotionally depend upon or addict to immediate
"artificial" rewards. We then suffer from their inadequacies
and the harmful side effects that they often produce.
The disconnection
of our psyche and thinking from natural systems leaves us wanting. It goads us to seek, applaud and financially
profit from questionable technologies, an excessive need for
money, and harmful exploitation or assaults on natural systems
around and within us.
2. No matter
what personal or global disorder we address we can not resolve
it if we continue to use the same nature-disconnected thinking
process that produces or sustains that disorder.
3. No matter
how good our intentions are or how worthwhile our ideals and
values, they
come to naught if
we do not have and use a process that enables us to implement
them.
"I believe the more people
use this nature-connected way of thinking the more individuals
will take it upon themselves to continually make little changes
in their lives. More conscious choices like this, when taken
all together make significant differences in the health of our
personal lives and the health of the planet."

Our greatest thinkers have
provided us with hundreds of profound ideas about what is wrong
with our society and what should be done to improve our situation.
What they
have not provided, however, is a readily available, practical,
thinking process that each of us can easily use to implement
the best of these ideas. The Web of Life Imperative
teaches you that
process

"Intellectually I knew
I was part of nature. From a feeling quality, though, I didn't,
until an organic psychology activity literally snapped me into
myself and my surroundings. I felt all the dissociated parts
return to their right places inside, as Nature lovingly let me
know I had always been perfectly acceptable just as I naturally
am."

"On a global scale, WLI
offers the hope that if more of us deeply felt the interdependence
of humans as natural beings that our ecological problems would
diminish."
