Questions and Meditations

The integral ecology?

The snare of the concrete. To find oneself riveted to immediate practical necessities which cannot be ignored, reduced to an almost absolute state of dependency by the importance they take on in our physical consciousness, to no longer know where to turn so as to reunite to a more inward perception and a freer perspective, to the sense of a greater force that can act in Matter and circumstances = this is what lurks in wait at every instant. And yet it is well understood that this third position legitimizes neither escape nor rejection of physical and material life, but that on the contrary it seeks to link, to identify the puissant, transformative contact between the source of the conscious gold and the most material processes.

It is a bridge that is being built and consolidated bit by bit in the terrestrial collective consciousness.
