HAS CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY'S EXTREMELY NATURE-DISCONNECTED THINKING AND EDUCATION SHORTCHANGED YOUR INTELLIGENCE AND WELL BEING?
Are you uneasy because your nature-disconnected socialization has taught you to ignore the simple facts, below, facts that from your experience you know to be true?
Have you learned not to trust your reasoning, senses and experiences with nature?
A. As part of nature, in order to live people need, and receive the following substances from the natural environment: water, air, food, materials, sunlight energy, soil, plants, animals, minerals.
To mentally register them and benefit from them nature also gives us many senses and sensitivities including those of sight, curiosity, reason, thirst, consciousness, place, trust, belonging, touch and community, along with 40 other natural senses.
B. In order for something to be part of a social or natural system it somehow must be in communication with the system. Otherwise it is disconnected from and can not relate to or with the system.
C. As described in A, above, people are part of nature's peace, our living global ecosystem and its balanced perfection. To be part of it we must be in communication with it and vice-versa. Do you know how we are inherently in communication with nature and it with us? Do you know how to benefit from safely strengthening, improving and increasing this communication? You can easily learn and practice this sensory skill through The Web of Life Imperative.
"As we sense nature to be part of us and vice versa, we are less likely to cause harm to our environment, for we discover and feel how we are really harming ourselves."
.....- Participant's Evaluation
D. We live in an extremely nature-disconnected, indoor society, out of sensory and intellectual communication with natural systems. Our non-organic learning and psychology seldom appreciates, seeks or teaches us balanced, nature-connected ways of thinking, learning and relating, ways that help us heal the effects of our destructive separation from nature. For example: organic thinking and practices applied to food production avoid the heath hazards and environmental immorality of techno-chemical agriculture and produce the benefits of organic gardening, organic food and other organic products.
Similarly, organic thinking regarding our psyche and relationships helps us increase the wellness of our thinking and relationships with natural systems in ourselves, others and the environment.
"WLI helps me trust my instincts, intuitions, and feelings of being attracted to various parts of nature -- especially when I need an answer to an important question."
.....- Participant's Evaluation
E. As long as our thinking, learning, psychology and consciousness are disconnected from communication with natural systems, the systems and therefore we suffer the disorders caused by our disconnection.
"The benefits of WLI applies to both intrapersonal and interpersonal relations, as well as our relationship to the natural world. The lessons taught offer satisfaction and wholeness in our lives."
.....- Participant's Evaluation
You may break this destructive cycle for yourself and help those you love. You can master the basics of Organic Psychology in 5-weeks or less through The Web of Life Imperative, or better still as part of its online, hands-on course.
"WLI is needed for all humans to become globally reconnected. It empowers us to assist in our inherent mental and physical healing capabilities."
