WEBSTRINGS

SENSORY ECOLOGY IN ACTION
The process we can no longer
afford to ignore.
"Pulitzer-Prize
winning sociobiologist Dr. Edward O. Wilson, of Harvard, affirms that people
have an inherent biological need to be in contact with nature. He says
Nature holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive, and even
spiritual satisfaction."
- Psychology Today
"It is as apparant as the nose on my face. To our cost, our society
operates by irritating us and then selling us something that temporarily
stops the irritation. What I've discovered from the webstrings at this
little pond is how society irritates us; it educates us to separate from
nature. The webstrings here show me that I when I choose to experience
them I genuinely reconnect with nature and the irritations subside. On
this course I am learning the value of using webstrings to rebuild balance
with myself, others and Earth.
Webstrings are like my nose. Whenever my eyes
are open my nose is in full view. However, since society neither values,
rewards, nor teaches me to consciously register its presence, I never see
my nose unless I make a special effort or it is called to my attention.
Just by reading this, you may now see your nose. What's important is do
you know how to see webstrings?"

What do you lose if you are feelingly disconnected
from the web of life?
Experts often depict nature's web of life
by gathering a group of people in a circle. Each person is asked to represent
some part of nature, a bird, soil, water, etc. A large ball of string then
demonstrates the relationships between things in nature. For example the
bird eats insects so the string is passed from the "bird person"
to the "insect person." That is their connection. The insect lives
in a flower, so the string is further unrolled across the circle to the
"flower person." Soon a web of string is formed. It interconnects
all members of the group, including somebody representing a person.
People gently lean back; they sense and enjoy how the string peacefully
unites, supports and interconnects them and all of life.
Then one strand of the web is cut signifying human impact on a species,
habitat or relationship. Sadly, the weakening effect on all is noted. Other
strings are cut; air, water, soil, temperature, people. Soon the web's integrity,
support and power disintegrates along with its spirit.
Because this activity reflects the reality of our lives, it often triggers
anxious feelings of hurt, despair and sadness in the activity participants.
Earth and its people increasingly suffer from "cut string" disintegration,
yet we continue to cut the strings.
Every part of the global life community, from sub-atomic particles to
weather systems, is part of the lifeweb. The intelligent, globally unifying
process by which they interact produces nature's balanced ways and prevents
runaway disorders. As part of nature, we are born with this ability to relate
in balance. Our troubles start as we learn to disconnect or injure webstrings.
They hurt. To avoid pain, out body removes them from our consciousnes
We are part of nature, the strings are in us. You are probably unaware
of where the strings are, what they consist of, or how to connect with them
in yourself or the environment. If so, you are webstring illiterate. For
example, do you know how to think in balance with webstrings?
On the other hand, you consist of webstring relationships and experience
them on deeper levels consistantly. Our great challenge is to become consciously
involved in our webstring relationships. To our, and Earth's, great loss,
we don't do this because our separation from nature has blinded us to them.
You may master and teach a fully accredited webstring reconnecting process
that restores our webstrings by letting them reattach to their global community
origins. It enables you to enjoy conficdence, wellness, and responsible
relationships.
You can easily learn the process online at webstrings
and add it to your personal and professional energies. It is an excellent
stress management and community development tool, a supportive missing link
that reverses personal, social and environmental deterioration. For this
reason, people treasure webstrings. They deserve your attention.
