WHY THIS BOOK
AND ACCREDITED COURSE?
"Scientific
research is based on the idea that everything that takes place
is determined by laws of nature, and therefore this holds for
the action of people"
"Our task
must be to free ourselves from (our) prison by widening our circles
of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of
nature in its beauty"
"We
can't solve problems by using the same level of consciousness
and same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
- Albert
Einstein
Many people who seek to increase
peace, social justice, mental health and environmental sanity
don't
achieve their goals because
they omit
the readily available organic art and science that this book
contributes. This omission
also prevents people from eliminating many health, relationship
and economic disorders.
Our underlying problem is
the historic erosion of our natural consciousness. Contemporary consciousness has learned
to additively register and relate to natural systems within and
around us as something to exploit or conquer. Our assault on
natural systems alienates them from us and robs us of the restorative,
purifying powers in these systems.
The Web of Life Imperative
gives you a tool to help your consciousness recognize and treat
nature as the life-supporting friend that it is. This removes
the hostile energies that produce most of our personal and environmental
disorders. It replaces them with the renewing, regenerative energies
that sustain natural system vitality within and around us.
"Here is an established,
easily accessible alternative to the destructive pitfalls in
the way we presently learn to think and relate. This foundation
for a much needed improvement in education and counseling is
a practical component for integrated learning. It enables contemporary
humanity to co-create truly civilized relationships with our
planet and its people."
- Dr. Douglass Cappogrossi,
President,
Akamai University, Hawaii
"We dramatically increased
our program's effectiveness by adding the Natural Systems Thinking
Process to it. It helps our participants connect with their sensory
origins in nature and use that peaceful power to improve their
relationships with self, society and the environment."
- Dr. James Rowe, Director
Outward Bound School in Costa Rica

OVERVIEW
SYNOPSIS:
Contemporary people are born as part of nature but we live extremely
nature-separated lives. We learn to bond to our artificial substitutes
and to deny that over 99% of our thinking and feeling is stressfully
frustrated by the disconnection of our mentality from its renewing
sensory origins in nature's perfection.
Our separation from nature's
powers and rewards causes us to want and when we want there is
never enough; our contemporary personal, social and environmental
troubles result. To address this breach and promote personal
and environmental health, a new Organic Psychology book
empowers us with some simple, nature-reconnecting, learning tools.
They enable us to rejuvenate wellness through thoughtful sensory
contact with nature's transformative healing, balance and beauty.
Or-gan-ic Psy-chol-o-gy
: The peaceful art
and science of building responsible relationships through thinking,
feeling and interacting while in conscious, sensory contact with
genuine natural systems and their restorative transformation
powers.
The Web of Life Imperative offers
an unprecedented organic innovation for sanity, a social and
ecological "e=mc2." It teaches you how to use an easily
learned, sensory nature-connection process for:
- Peace. Presents a newly researched, potent
component that helps us achieve inner, social and
international peace.
- Health: Provides an alternative medicine and
ecological psychotherapy that increases physical and mental health.
- Environment: Offers a readily available means
to restore the integrity of natural systems within and around
us.

More About The Web of
Life Imperative and Webstrings
Each of us is part of an important survival community consisting
of our family and friends, our professional relationships and
the environment. As such, we have the responsibility to sustain
a supportive and healthy quality of life for all community members.
You may recognize that most
of us are not doing the job that needs be done to meet our community
needs. As good as our intentions may be, they are obviously not
enough. Far too many people and ecosystems today suffer from
our inability to 
overcome
the obstacles that face us.
Now, a breakthrough tool can help anybody turn the tide.
The Lie of Omission
At the Institute of Global Education (IGE), a special NGO consultant
to the United Nations Economic and Social Council, researchers
have identified a major, seldom acknowledged, "blind spot"
in contemporary consciousness. Although it is "normal"
it is a destructive void that contributes to the deterioration
of our social and environmental relationships. This blind spot
in our consciousness undermines the best of our intentions because
it is very difficult for us to deal with things that do not register
in our awareness.
The void in our consciousness
results from the way we socialize and educate our natural
born psyche. From birth on, as part of our excessive separation
from nature, we reward our thinking for ignoring a continual
natural flow of biological survival sensations that we are genetically
endowed to register in our consciousness. Ignoring them produces
a conditioned, sensory blank spot in our thinking, a void in
our mentality. It results in us in knowing and relating to the
world through half-truths caused by missing information about
its value. Like intellectual bigots, this causes us to blindly
trespass the sensory boundaries set by the signals from other
biological and human community members simply because we are
insensitive to these signals. They no longer innately register
in our consciousness. This produces many destructive effects
that overwhelm us.
The disregard of most experts
to our void in consciousness and its harmful effects is reflected
in their disregard of a fact of life that Dr. Michael J.Cohen
identifies:
"The sensation of thirst
is as much an organic fact, truth and reality of life as is water.
Thirst is a vital part of consciousness, intelligence and survival.
It is the part of personal and global awareness that knows and
communicates to us when we do or don't 
need
a drink of water for our well being. We learn to take this intelligence
for granted.
As an attraction for, or love
of, water thirst sensuously brings water into us and thereby
nutrifies it and us as part of the global community's water,
nitrogen and life cycles.
We suffer many dilemmas because
we are taught to mostly know, learn, think and relate through
five senses and the sense of thirst is not one of them.
Similarly, our consciousness and thinking omit 48 other equally
vital natural senses.
The way we learn to think too
often omits including profound natural senses and their joys,
like the joy of thirst being quenched. We lose the joys of community,
trust, belonging, balance, peace and place along with 42 others
of equal value and importance. Although this destructive omission
can be easily rectified, we continue to try to make sense and
enjoy life using only five senses, ten percent of our inborn
sensory intelligence and potential. The unhealthy, aggravated
state of the world and our lives reflect this disorder."

Results of Research
There is good news. The IGE research team has discovered that
as we learn how to help nature rejuvenate and thereby remove
the harmful sensory void in our psyche, we therapeutically reduce
a major source of the destructive, endless wanting and hurt that
is generated by the void. In addition, our thinking receives
excellent empirical knowledge and regenerative guidance from
natural systems within and around us. As a result, many harmful
relationships subside. We begin to build cooperation, health
and peace internally and externally.
To implement these discoveries,
IGE has developed a significant organic process
that enables anyone to reverse the dilemma presented by the
numbed spot in our consciousness. You may learn the process in
The Web of Life Imperative, thus it is imperative
to read the book.
This book teaches you how to
enjoyably and safely strengthen your biological survival sensations
so that they acutely register in your thinking. There, as is
their natural purpose, these sensory energies renew, guide and
motivate you to act in more sensitive, life supportive, ways.
These are the same web of life sensitivities that help natural
systems organize themselves into their coordinated perfection
without producing garbage or our many other troubles.
Dramatically, through the book's
ethic and activities, the passions that survival sensations create
in us transform the evil of our apathy into the joy of more motivated
and thoughtful participation in naturally balanced, and rewarding
relationships. We more actively engage in solving our problems
because we are rewarded by the peace, improved health and and
stress reduction from doing so.

Participation and transformation
The unique organic process the book presents helps us unify with
our surroundings 
and become
an integrated community. We consciously, powerfully register
that we are part of life and the eons; it feels right and makes
sense. This motivates us to seek the satisfactions gained from
greater participation in responsible social and environmental
programs.
Because the process
enables us to transform our destructive relationships into constructive
involvement, it is an excellent recovery and preventative tool
for many disturbances and disorders.
We live in the myth that responsible
wellness, social and cultural change is slow and difficult to
achieve. However, television, air conditioning, computers and
the internet, when not misused, are examples of responsible changes
in how we relate to the world and each other, changes that occurred
quickly because they provide a technological process whose
rewards people seek and appreciate. This is equally true
of the web of life process discovered at IGE. It is an
easily accessible, therapeutic, consciousness-rejuvenating technology
that enables us to enjoy social and environmental sanity.
Outcomes
The process makes a major contribution to the success of worthwhile
personal or social causes. It is readily available through the
subsidized, book, The Web of Life Imperative, to be officially
released July 15, 2003. Pre-publication editions are presently
available
Can you afford to overlook
the beneficial addition this self-guiding book can make in your
work or life goals? It empowers you to further your personal
and professional hopes, realize your ideals and reduce disorders
because it gives you a powerful process by which you can implement
these goals.
