“Most of us have become Ecozombies, desensitized, environmental deadheads. On average, society conditions us to spend over 95% of our time and 99.9% of our thinking disconnected from nature. Nature's extreme absence in our lives leaves us abandoned and wanting. We feel we never have enough. We greedily, destructively, consume and, can't stop. Nature's loss in our psyche produces a hurt, hungering, void within us that bullies us into our dilemmas.” ThinkingFeelsEnoughHurtLossEnvironmentOur LivesConditionsProduceEmotionalEnvironmentalGreedAverageExtremesAbsenceOur TimeAbandonedVoidEcologyBullyDilemmaDisconnected Book:The Web of Life Imperative: Regenerative Ecopsychology Techniques That Help People Think in Balance with Natural Systems Source: The Web of Life Imperative: Regenerative Ecopsychology Techniques That Help People Think in Balance with Natural Systems
“Our incredible bewilderment (wilderness separation) blinds us from seeing that our many personal and global problems primarily result from our assault of and separation from the natural creation process within and around us. Our estrangement from nature leaves us wanting,and when we want there is never enough. Our insatiable wanting is called greed. It is a major source of our destructive dependencies and violence.” WantEnoughProblemProcessNaturalResultsViolenceSeeingCreationSourceMajorsGreedIncrediblesSeparationDestructiveWildernessAssaultDependencyInsatiableBewildermentEstrangement Author:Michael J Cohen
