Energy shortages, power crises, petrochemical pollutants, ozone
depletion, hazardous waste, nuclear radiation, bioengineered crops:
these are just a few of the nightmares of a technological world raging
against natural laws. In the midst of this technological onslaught, we
have been conditioned to believe that technology is the inherently
evil nemesis of nature, the two forever destined to be at incompatible
odds with one another. Modern society perpetuates this belief that one
must be sacrificed for the other, thus suggesting the illusory options
of either abandoning the "urban" life for huts in the forest
and cots in the ashram, or supporting a society which plunders natural
resources to sustain the modern lifestyle of our unabated consumerism.
Fortunately, the fundamental myth of a technology/nature trade-off
has been overturned by recent scientific and spiritual discoveries
revealing what ancient cultures have long understood -- that we can
live in harmony with the web of life and access the secrets of nature
in order to sustain complex, rich, diverse societies.
The ancient art of Feng Shui reveals the significance the Chinese
assigned to keeping one's life in balance with the wind, mountains,
water and other elements of nature in order to have a healthy and
prosperous life. The architectural wonders of ancient pyramid temples
astound modern day scientists who cannot (even with their current
technologies) reproduce these amazing results. Recent research reveals
that Tibetan monks utilized sound to levitate large objects. In fact,
pyramid structures in Egypt are discovered to have resonator dishes,
suggesting that the ancient Egyptians also had knowledge of utilizing
the power of sound --possibly to lift the heavy blocks used in their
pyramids thousands of years ago.
Complex cities of over 300,000 inhabitants discovered in the
Columbian mountains were designed in such harmony with nature and the
elements that thousands of years later they hardly show signs of
erosion. Ancient temples constructed with knowledge of sacred
geometries have been shown to neutralize geomagnetic stresses, which
today are found to contribute to the onset of cancer in over 92% of
the cases studied. These ancient cultures knew a type of technology
that aligned with Nature. By accessing the secret powers of nature,
these peoples built their societies in harmony with that wisdom.
Because of our present reliance on processed and agriculturally
modified foods, we often forget that Nature is the source of all life
-- synthetic or natural -- on our planet. We are deluded into
believing that the McRib sandwich comes from some hidden McDonalds's
ranch, or that the strawberries we buy in the store in the middle of
winter are somehow naturally grown. The levels of chemicals used in
the agri-business of growing foods have spawned a new industry of
pharmaceutical needs to offset the rash of diseases that plague modern
culture. Our polluted waters have necessitated a need for chemically
treating drinking water, thus creating a bottled water industry that
sells what used to be free to all for more than the cost of a gallon
of gasoline. We have been using more of the same kind of destructive
counter-nature technologies to fix the problems that technology has
created.
What is needed is a return to the source of Life itself, through
realignment with nature and her laws. We need to restore our
individual lives and our societies to health. We cannot expect this
from the governments that have helped to sponsor and create the
problems of unbridled growth at the expense of precious natural
resources. As my favorite bumper sticker notes, "If voting did
anything, it would be illegal." As long as our world leaders hold
money and power supreme, it is unrealistic to expect cooperation from
governments in this area.
Fortunately, it is well within the reach of each of us to find a
way to return to an alignment with Nature. We can do this in numerous
ways. Alternative energy sources (from solar to water-powered systems)
hold the potential to "get off the grid" for most
individuals in the western world today. Technologies that employ the
life force of water in its natural state, using nature as their guide,
are producing up to 250% more crop yield with 30% less fertilizers.
(For example, Vortex Water Energizer, made in England, utilizes a form
of water called "imploded" water based upon Viktor
Schauberger's research.) Other methods utilize sounds in nature to
stimulate plant growth and blooming cycles, achieving amazing results
far surpassing that produced either by bioengineered methods or
chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Systems of water purification and revitalization that follow the
pattern of the natural flow of water are producing results without the
use of harmful chemicals and far surpass traditional and more costly
sewage treatment systems typically used today. (The Flow Forms of
Rudolph Steiner, for example, utilize the vortex mechanics of water,
and are used throughout Europe for sewage treatment.) Gardening
methods such as those used in Findhorn align with the intelligence of
Nature to produce vegetables in the worst possible soil conditions,
thus defying all traditional logic.
Recent technologies that resonate sound patterns of water molecules
through a field of universal archetypal geometries are able to reverse
water and atmospheric pollution for pennies on the dollar over
conventional methods, and without adverse effects to the environment.
(The tool is called a Harmonizer and the sound tape is Environmental
Clearing. Both are available through www.EarthTransitions.com,
which also includes detailed reports of other clearing processes used
worldwide.) Straw-bale homes, which are better insulated, easier and
cheaper to build than their counterparts are totally biodegradable,
recycle raw materials currently being wasted and can successfully
replace normal building methods that surround our internal environment
with harmful toxins and deplete our forests.
These are just a few of the many Earth friendly
"eco-technologies" that view nature as a mentor instead of a
personal treasure chest. By utilizing these and similar nature-aligned
technologies currently available to the average individual, we can
remake our society brick by brick, house by house, garden by garden.

relationship with nature and establish local pollution-clearing
networks. For information about workshops in Alaska call Rita at
