Principles of Eco-Spirituality
To have is the inability to
Be. Addiction i.e. greed is an overcompensation for the lack of happiness. That
makes the "environmental crisis" essentially a spiritual problem. Once Being
replaces having, addiction to having disappears
Inner is outer. What
we see in the outer world - mega-cities, industrial destruction, polluted rivers -
reflects our blown up ego's. Once inner balance is restored, the excesses in the outer
world will be stopped
People are only prepared to
give something up, if they get something better in return. Only spiritual values
- inner clarity, depth, joy of life, love, wholeness, wisdom, contentment, respect,
community - can achieve this
The ego will never be able to
solve problems, that itself has caused (A.Einstein). In order to tackle the
problem we need a new consciousness and a passionate commitment. Hence, a New World can
only be created by New (Wo)Men
We are part of the Whole.
Loss of contact with reality - especially the damage caused by the "virtual
world" (look at our children)* - is a disaster. Spirituality teaches the sacredness
of the earth in which all creatures are connected, including ourselves
* PLAY AGAIN is an
impressive film of children who - for the first time in their life -
discover nature
In a time where all values
are eroded we first have to go back to the Origin in order to become renewed (A.
Toynbee). Once our True Self has been born we become part of the Whole - Heaven, earth and
the (new) community - once again
The Origin appears to be a
Vacuum or Cosmic Womb. Through "Her" Cosmic Forces of destruction (of
the old) and creation (of the new) we can achieve the impossible: Healing
Yourself, Healing Each Other and Healing the Planet
