Let Nature Work Its Magic On You

Do Not Let Your Own Agenda Interfere When What You Do Not Understand Seems Like Magic.

The “Triple A” happiness that is found along the Heartwood Path courses arises from a very specific three-part circularity: a circle of outcomes where any one part leads to the other two parts.


Allow nature to work its magic on you.


In this way along the Heartwood Path:

  • environmental sustainability leads to individual maturity and easy and enduring assistance to others;

  • personal maturity leads to both environmental sustainability and easy and enduring assistance to others; and

  • easy and enduring assistance to others—leads to individual maturity and environmental sustainability.


Finding a natural being that is attractive to you continuously for at least ten seconds can be thought of as that beings consent for you to receive its magic on you.


These benefits sound a bit serious and heavy; but, as you will discover in this introduction, getting to them is actually very pleasurable and fun.


Along the Heartwood Path, participants are free to take in nature’s intelligence either by engaging in the waypoints or by wandering without an agenda in the wild.


One way or another—by allowing nature to carry you where it may or by following the specific text and series of Heartwood Path Activities—those who follow the Heartwood Path will be moved beyond the ordinary and become uncommonly happiness.


To see what nature has in store for you today (if you have done this before, try it again) when you are agenda-free, wander around in a landscape you find attractive, follow no course, have no predetermined purpose, but make sure you write down any feelings, thoughts, or dreams that you witness during or shortly after the experience.


And the world will become better off because you are making the necessary effort.
