Integral ecology.

Ecology = the science of the home, in the sense of habitat, of environment, and of all that occurs in it, and all the relations that manifest in it.

The universe is our home, it is there that we reside, along with the stars and the daffodils, the serpents and the black holes.

Integral ecology = the answer to all the menaces, as to all the horrors. A living response = humane, progressive, courageous, contagious.

For ages, a wide uncultivated space between two high walls separated the human existence from the spiritual experience.

Any effort or attempt at reaching and attaining the spiritual consciousness implied a divorce and emancipation from, or a rejection of, the ordinary human existence.

To be born to the spirit and to disappear from the world of men were the two faces of one coin.

As for the salvation preached by the recognized religions, a reward one had to earn and deserve, it would only be granted on the other side of things = after death.

*

This waste ground, like an immensity of absence and denial, a superior unconsciousness, alienated from one another the two realities, the divine one “up there” and the one of life “here below”.

Of this division the Adversary has fully benefited and profited.
