===============================================
T-F
Many cultures demonstrate that humanity is not born into producing the destructive environmental, social and personal problems associated with contemporary society. The reason we produce these problems is because our socialization educates, conditions and stresses us to produce them. This results in many personal disorders.
T-F
We are part of Nature. The deteriorating state of the world shows that our society survives from economic profit and social rewards derived by conquering and exploiting Earth's natural systems within and around us. As we reduce them to "natural resources" the injury we inflict to them produces our personal and environmental troubles.
T-F
Because we are members of a nature conquering culture, normally, most educational and psychology systems reward us, and are in turn rewarded, for teaching us to think and relate in nature-exploitive ways. This injures natural systems within and around us. Because the rewards emotionally or psychologically bond or addict us to our destructive ways, change is very difficult.
T-F
It is a form of madness to destroy our own life support system. Most people can, however, learn how to stop this form of insanity.
T-F
There is now a sensory, organic, nature-connected, learning process that enables you to transform the destructive conditioning and effects of present day thinking and relationships.
T-F
You, may choose as part of your personal or professional goals to increase the value power and responsibility of your education by mastering a nature connected learning process. You may reduce your present tuition costs, if any, in the process.
T-F
Nature's intelligence, the way nature works, naturally attracts Planet Earth and our mind and body into a healthy, purifying, balance. Unadulterated natural systems seldom, if ever, produce our garbage, pollution, stress, mental illness or war. Nature rarely displays loneliness, abusiveness, or excessive violence. As part of nature, we inherit its peaceful intelligence in our senses and sensibility. To our loss and cost, our society does not require that we learn how to nurture and think with this intelligence. Rather, our historic tendency is to abuse, assault and conquer it; our greatest troubles result.
T-F
Learning how to implement and enjoy the responsible rewards of your natural intelligence is a vital but missing element in most Education curriculums.

- Albert Schweitzer Nobel Peace Prize recipient
