Webstrings:
The Missing Link

"Natural systems and our quality of life are at risk because our leaders deny the existence and value of webstrings. Were you ever taught about their existence and nature? Do you know how to use them to sustain balance in relationships?" - Dr. Michael J. Cohen, Program Director   Has this scenario ever happened to you?   "The unpredictable Charles Tinks, who I knew since childhood, had come of age and now wanted to change his name. I understood and agreed enthusiastically. For 18 years he lived in the ridicule of "Charles Stinks." The judge, without hesitation, granted his request to become Jim Tinks (not James!) Although Charles changed, his name, his unpredictability remained. When I met him the next day I inadvertently called him Charles. Angrily, he accused me of disrespect, "You called me a name I discarded," he clambered. Aghast, I explained it would take me time to get used to his new name and wasn't he being intolerant? " 'Jim' is correct, its my choice, my time has come, and it's legal. Just do it." he blasted. What a turn off! I was one of many caught in this trap. I wanted little to do with him, but we ran across each other frequently. I was always anxious lest I slip and again annoy him as well as be victim to his hurt and wrath. What Jim needed was to design an educational campaign that would safely help me and others make the name transition. None was offered. It's been almost a year now. I still think of Jim as Charles but, out of respect and fear, have learned to call him Jim. It feels awkward but, OK, some things take time and effort if they are to happen. I wonder how long it would have taken me to make the change had Jim not made an issue of it whenever I trespassed? I have fully accommodated other people's name changes, but it has taken much time."   BUG OFF! That's what I've learned from Jim's situation. I neither mean to be callused nor apathetic but when folks start discussing the problems of the world with me, that's how I respond. "Don't tell me about it," I say. Here's why: full time and without pay, I help sustain life in balance by practicing and teaching a scientific relationship building technique that I have perfected over a period of 40 years. Some experts acknowledge that it is a key process for wellness, social and environmental balance, one that co-creates with nature. My process is based on learning how to become consciously connected to webstrings. They are the actual strands that cohesively make up, unify and sustain the web of life in balance. It is no accident that you probably have never heard of them, seen them, know what they are or how they work. If you did, we would not have so many stressful social and environmental disorders. You see, our economy and survival is largely based on selling technological, chemical and social tranquilizers for the stress we induce. Webstrings prevent that stress from occurring in the first place. That's why our runaway problems are seldom found in nature. Our troubles exist because, on average, members of contemporary society spend less than .0005% of their lives in conscious sensory contact with the web of life in natural areas. If you are unfamiliar with Webstrings, I suggest you now take ten minutes and read the article that describes their workings at http://www.webstrings.org/lifeweb.html. Had Charles and his family been connected to them they would have found ways to rectify the difficulties associated with his name. His hurt from then would not be disrupting his relationships now. Folks would have an easier time in using his new name, too. When the war broke out in Kosovo, I did what I could to help stop it. I contacted appropriate leaders, peacemakers, and media personnel about connecting all parties with webstrings. Conscious contact with them energizes nature's ways into balancing our relationships. I've written Colin Powell, Al and Tipper Gore, the Clinton's, The Mayo Clinic, the Congress, environmental educators etc. My suggestion has rarely been acknowledged or incorporated. However, those that follow it, benefit from it. When the killing of students by students at a school occurs, I do what I can to help stop it from happening again. I suggest all parties, including teachers become involved with learning how to connect with each other through webstrings. This suggestion is rarely acknowledged or incorporated. However, those that follow it, benefit from it. When I hear of the growing substance abuse by a large sector of our population, I do what I can to help prevent it. I suggest all of us learn how to become connected with each other and the environment through webstrings. This suggestion is rarely acknowledged or incorporated. However, those that follow it, benefit from it. When I see and hear about the deteriorating state of Earth and ecosystems, I do what I can to help stop it. I suggest all of us learn how to come into balance with each other and the environment through webstrings. This suggestion is rarely acknowledged or incorporated. However, those that follow it, benefit from it. When I see the amount of stress related medical and emotional disorders that prevail, I do what I can to help stop them. I contact appropriate leaders and media personnel about using webstrings for healing. My suggestion has rarely been acknowledged or incorporated. However, those that follow it, benefit from it. When I see the amount of money going into budgets to repair the damage we do to each other and the environment, I do what I can to help reduce these expenses. I contact appropriate leaders and media personnel about saving money by using webstrings. My suggestion has rarely been acknowledged or incorporated. However, those that follow it, benefit from it. When I see and hear about runaway population increases, violence and social injustice, I suggest we learn how to use webstrings to help reverse these problems. I make the same suggestion when I observe us subduing the environment as a dictate of God. My suggestion is rarely acknowledged or incorporated. However, those that follow it, benefit from it. When I see graduation after graduation take place of more and more students who are webstring illiterate, I do what I can to improve their education. I not only offer them the webstring experiences they deserve through my books and courses, I contact appropriate leaders and media personnel about connecting students to webstrings as part of their education. This suggestion is rarely acknowledged or incorporated. It often aggravates educational administrators for they fear controversy. However, those that follow it, benefit from it. If I were a student today, I would file a class action suit for neglect against my school and the various Departments of Education that permit it to continue to operate irresponsibly. I would sue for the damages I and others suffer and will suffer because, to our cost, the educational community won't teach the webstring knowledge that promotes wellness and responsible relationships with people and the environment. A suit would motivate education to change, like Jim did by confronting his friend.. When I see peacemakers, spiritualists and meditators try to bring the world together without consciously connecting with the webstrings that form the great circle of life, I contact them and suggest they include learning how to be guided by webstrings as part of their activities. My suggestion has rarely been acknowledged or incorporated. However, those that do follow it, benefit from it. Either Webstrings are worthless and I and my students are fools, or, like adopting with difficulty to Jim's name, contemporary society is addicted to accept thinking and relating in ways that continue to throw life out of balance. We have yet to acknowledge a dangerous webstring blind spot in how we see and relate, no less use webstring learning technology to reverse this dilemma. To paraphrase Jim, "Webstrings are correct, a legitimate choice, their time has come, and they are legal. Just learn to connect with them." I have documented that Webstrings make beneficial contributions to those who choose to become involved with them. I conclude that those who don't use them have become so bewildered (wilderness separated) they deny that we try to resolve our problems by using the same webstring disconnected thinking that produces them. Such denial is often a symptom of addiction. Webstrings enable a person to thoughtfully recycle destructive thinking and relate in unified balance and diversity, like nature works. Our zealous conquest of nature has prejudiced our psyche to fear and resent nature and webstrings. When we don't use them, we abuse them. Understandably, the response by many to whom I introduce webstrings, is similar to requesting that the Ku Klux Klan invite Afro-Americans into their organization. One expects this from people whose thinking is additively bigoted. As is common in the KKK and street gangs, we often place in positions of leadership those of us who are most successful at what we do, no matter its craziness. Resistance to change is not a human quality when prejudice or addiction are not involved. For example, in less than a decade we moved from a non-air conditioned society to air conditioning, from non-computers to computers, from hurting Japanese people to respecting them. If you are unhappy about what is happening to your deeper ideals and all of life, please don't complain to me. Instead, please learn how to use webstrings. If your cause or thinking does not include the easily available use of webstrings, it is not doing all it can do and should do. That's what each of us must do for we and Earth are at risk. Here's my contribution: I invite you to learn how to move beyond the global life community disconnections and prejudices you may have been taught and bring webstrings into your relationships. Then you can help others similarly benefit. I, and many others, will be happy to support you in this effort. www.webstrings.org   Project NatureConnect, Institute of Global Education P. O.
