From counseling of individuals to solving all major problems on Earth

The field of counseling most likely came from priests. However, the difference is that counseling mostly does not solve problems in a big-picture way. However, being a priest allowed the integration of everything in a God context, and a priest is often heard preaching in his homily to the masses. In a way, it was a problem-solving venture, where people in the counseling profession heard about all the problems in our world but often did not solve any broader context problem. In a way, it is like counselors are watching the industrialized pollution pollute people. I am concerned that counseling and other professions are washing people from the pollution spread upon them from an ultra-extreme industrialized world without identifying the pollution first. The polluters go on doing what they do as they make all the money. In other words, problems seem never to get solved and only worsen in our world. I had hoped that by now, there would be an integrative effort to collect all data from people to solve problems. In the meantime, people will continue taking all the pollution on their shoulders by doing their best.
I am a big fan of counselors; I have attended them for nearly 30 years. However, I have noticed all that I have shared over that time did not serve to solve problems on any broader scale. It helped air out the issues, but the source of the broader problems continued to cause pollution in an out-of-control industrialized way. Pollution can also be considered traditional pollution, power, bullying, alcohol, drugs, promiscuous sex, extreme hardcore pornography, employment violence, excess laws, excess rules, regulations, policies, excess structures, excess functions, etc. In many respects, this pollution is caused by the same pollution in our ultra-extreme industrialized world, as we have mainly deviated from natural healthy living. Most problems are caused by extremely ultra-competitive and ultra-complex industrialization and pollution. Polluters use pollution to get a competitive advantage over people and other polluters. I have written much about reactionary adaptive planning, which is about using traditional structures, functioning, laws, rules, norms, pollution, alcohol, drugs, promiscuous sex, pornography, policies, employment violence, etc., to cause someone to get in trouble to eliminate them from the competition.
The location-enabled integrated device coupled with the We Me Unidiversity Research Explorers’ Cycle would create a global-to-local problem-solving effort as it would allow the integration of data necessary to solve big-picture problems. The cycle can also be explained as a broad-scale natural to fine-scale earth striving earth research explorer cycle. If we have a more natural earth-striving world, we could adapt and strive towards more natural, healthy living. I have been a proponent of counseling in nature as it helps people see problems in a better light as deviations from God’s creation, Nature. Understanding more about Nature helps us understand more about ourselves. It would help us understand the polluting mechanisms causing our behavior to deviate from natural, healthy living. Natural healthy living involves fine-scale individual and broad-scale natural healthy
living, integrating everyone, everything, and everywhere on Earth. In many respects, it is like the new science of planetary health integrated with sustainability. Healthy communities and healthy families, as well as individual people, are so important, especially to our children and future generations. Looking at things from a broad-scale global planetary and a local fine-scale way is necessary because the cycle represents an inextricable link between the two.
The inclusion of the counseling profession enables and empowers people to contribute all they can to solve all the major problems on Earth. However, there must be some remuneration and inspirational incentives to contribute and disincentives not to. Counseling confidentiality can be preserved if we make the broader levels confidential if the data is captured holistically. Maybe we can empower all people to share their experiences as soon as they recognize them. Counselors are essential in making this transition. If we all work together, people will avoid a downward spiral of positive feedback loops and negative energy situations. Having everyone contribute everything they know about polluting forces will stop the power and industrial polluters so we can transition to a more sustainable striving and holistic-minded desired future condition from local to earth scale. World without end…
