“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

“Man, do you think yours is the only soul? Look around you. Everything that you see quivers with being. Though your thoughts are free, one thing you do not think about: the whole. Beasts have a mind; respect it. Flowers too- look at one. Nature brought forth each petal. There is a mystery that sleeps in metal. Everything feels, and has power over you.” ThinkingMenFeelsMindLooksSoulWholeSleepOne ThingMysteryFlowerEnvironmentalBeastOver YouMetalsPetalsQuiver Author:Gerard De Nerval
