1. Core of the mind is the ecological unconscious: Like Jung’s notion that the collective unconscious is a repository of human evolutionary history; the ecological unconscious is a living record of evolution.
2. The ecological unconscious is a living record of evolution: and houses the ecological intelligence of our species.
3. The goal of therapy is to re-awaken environmental reciprocity and heal alienation: and in doing so one is able to access the ecological unconscious and live more healthily with the natural world.
4. To recover the child’s animistic quality of experience: in doing so we get to re-experience the natural world with the wonder and excitement that comes so natural to children.
5. For the ecological ego to mature towards an ethical sense of responsibility: therefore we are able to move beyond the developmental stages that are concerned with individual needs and move towards becoming the collective or social animal that we are.
6. To re-evaluate masculine traits that dominate nature: thus moving away from wanting to control nature to living and learning from nature.
7. To return to small scale social forms: scaling back to livable social systems that are smaller, allows for more interaction and dialog among humans and therefore serves their needs more appropriately.
8. And the need to recognize the synergistic interplay between planetary and personal well being: the needs of the planet are the needs of the person.
