Hi John and CF Colleagues !

Many Thanks for replying to my own reply John !! ; )

Hopefully I have a home in the large World too, since
what "I" write is entirely relevant and true in
relation to all of it, and it is only other Humans'
relative unaware state of this that creates an
apparent/relative discrepancy, so we'll see how it
goes as to whether I also contact interested
Ecopsychology parties. The answers to all of our
problems are actually very simple, and also very
practical, and either neutral or positive. Incorrectly
side-lining/grouping them is an active means of
preventing such information and practicality being
disseminated and realised by everyone, creating
barriers, and supporting excuses not to look at the
solutions being discussed by those side-lined groups.
There are no barriers in Nature or Real Life, and
there are no Words, ism's, etc, so there are issues
with being lumped/labelled into any camp such as, as
just one example, Ecopsychology. Whether we
"Psychologise" life or not (as Human beings "only"),
it just carries on as it is - really, what's the point
? Better just to get on and live and be Happy and be
always amazed and in awe and love, as I am, at and of
the beyond-words incredibility lovingness of it all !.

Lots of Regards to you John, and All the Best ! Hope
you're well and happy !!!

P.S. Am also a Professional Engineer in Industry, hold
MSc in Oceanography, worked in basic Medicine with
NHS, numerous other roles in Society inc. Dustbin
work, Grounds Maintenance, Road Sweeping. Sheet Metal
Pressing, etc..., Martial/Empty-Hand Arts experience
and teaching, have numerous "deeper" experiences,
etc...and am not an airy-fairy wuss, but a pretty
normal bloke, so have a fair and wider understanding
of the down-to-earth and deeper practicalities and
mindsets of solutions and the many day-to-day
lifestyles and living circumstances for many people
(Humans!) throughout many areas and situations in
(particularly UK/some Japanese) Society - not limited
to a
dancing-around-a-bonfire-flower-power-a-little-self-involved-style
image or remit !! ; ) All situations are not limited
to Humans - all Solutions and Ways of Thinking,
Decisions, etc inherently ought to consider all Life
and All Existence. I've, for the most part, had my own
"personal" experiences throughout Life, and
figuratively come back only recently to discover and
read about others (inc. an ongoing aspect related to
reading Religious texts for comparison) - so this
gives a figurative degree of Independence in
Understanding which, low and behold, agrees with many
areas presently mentioned by persons and things such
as by Satish Kumar, the Tao Te Ching, Unselfish Loving
interpretations of the New Testament, much of
Buddhism, so-called Ecopsychology, Deep Ecology, Some
of current Physics esp Wave-superposition principle
creating reality (not probability) (although, as just
one example, I know by unscientific subjective
experience that an Aether exists and is dynamic on all
scales, and yet I'm particularly a Specialist
Electromagnetics Engineer in Industry, plus with other
Engineering backrounds) etc....(have not yet read
Qu'ran, Bhagavad Gita etc but intend to get around to
this...).

I realise that it's a bit of a personal content, but
it may help in support of the blurb that I write on
occasion on this Forum !

All the Best John and Forum collegaues !
