Connecting with the fertile dimensions of our planetary moment suggests that the Earth as a whole is evoking a more thorough engagement with the mind’s deep layers. In a way, the global arena has become a mirror that constantly reflects what’s taking place within. This is a unique opportunity, an ever-present reminder to sharpen a more discerning view of who we truly are that breaks through layers of self-enclosure and reactivity into the living, breathing presence that sustains us all, the Earth. Seen from a contemplative perspective, the compounded crises we’re facing serve as resounding bells that announce that the time is now to heed the call of awakening.
Ascension Protocols
Ascension Protocols from the Eternal ScienceAscension means Freedom from duality: life/death, good/bad, love/hate, male/female, joy/sorrow, reward/punishment, light/darkness, heaven/hell … This is the main attribute of the world we live in as well as the creation with which we interact. We do not need to leave this world and say go to heaven, to be rid of duality and its effects on our souls. By transcending duality, we remove our world from the chains of opposites. The instructions for doing this were written down millennia ago. Here we reveal them again to you. To ascend and make the world a better place for everyone and for all things. Discover the consciousness in all things Connect with your God-self See the true world and the interconnection of all things Discover the unity of divine and mundane existence See yourself as divine and infinite Learn how to do think, speak and act Learn what, why and how to worship How to study and obtain wisdom Understand that your ascension becomes the ascension of other humans, creations and the whole of planet earth

The Gravity of Mystical AscentThis article explores the way shifting notions of gravity within the development of Western imagination and thinking challenge both the above/below dichotomy and the spiritual/physical dualism that so often attend them. In moving from ancient conceptions of gravity and gravitas, particularly as informed by Aristotle, to modern conceptions based on scientific development since Galileo, Bacon, Newton, and Pascal, the article shows how gravity has always operated with a certain paradox of movement: inherent in moving down or up is its opposite. This paradox, influencing equally our physical and spiritual understandings of reality, becomes a mystical movement, as exemplified by Bonaventure’s 13th-century The Journey of the Mind to God. But as 20th-century writers as diverse as Hannah Arendt and Maurice Blanchot tell us, this mysticism does not necessarily diminish as modernity advances and can be invoked even in the modern scientific advancements, and disorientations, of space exploration.
A New Spiritual Horizon for Humankind
A New Spiritual Horizon for Humankind2014 •
The US, Japan and the European Union nations are gradually losing their dominant positions in the world. At the same time, powerful countries like Brazil, India and China do not try to impose their political and cultural values in less developed countries, but rather they intend to base their relations on a mutually beneficial cooperation. Thus, the new system of international relations taking shape due to the growth of Asian, Latin American and African nations is erasing the fragile dependency and colonial servility inherited from the history of the last few centuries by means of the power of common agreements and convergence of interests. There is hope that this will turn the current global crisis into a true opportunity for global change. The global crisis we are going through requires a deep change in the model of growth. Asia, Africa and Latin America could not follow the path trod by the US and the EU, with its promotion of false freedom at the cost of social fractures, consumption for all, indebtedness for the majority but accumulation by only a few. A radically different vision must be defined. In other words, the global change crisis must generate an entire new social paradigm in which the idea of development does not only mean economic growth as it is the case nowadays from the standpoint of central powers, but it also includes the integral growth of all human beings grounded on the essential understanding that “progress for a few ends up being progress for nobody”. In our opinion, a new spirituality that would be able to kindly include the most progressive of the extremely diverse cultures and traditions worldwide, without limiting, but highlighting the identity of each nation; an spirituality that, at the same time, includes the technological language and the experiences of a human being flying across the cosmic space, may be the most adequate incubator of the new human civilization. Unrestricted access to the experience of the Profound, the contact with the fountain of the Sacred from the interiority of everyone without intermediation; the possibility of sharing this fundamental experience among people belonging to different cultures and confessions, may be meaningful elements for the spirituality of a new human nation worldwide.

Toward an Earthbound TheologyThis article considers some metaphysical and theological implications of the Anthropocene, which is the proposed name for a new geological epoch that is characterized by massive human disturbances of the Earth system. This stratigraphic time unit concludes the Holocene epoch that offered a relatively stable climate for human civilizations to emerge and flourish. The Anthropocene therefore marks the end of such natural stabilities - both real and imagined - along with a growing awareness of the dynamic agency or subjectivity of the Earth. By magnifying nonhuman subjectivity, the new epoch is widely interpreted by scholars across a range of disciplines as unsettling modern dualistic notions of human exceptionalism. Consequently, nonhuman nature is no longer a relatively inert background for human cultural activities. Humans and nonhumans must now be seen as interrelated Earth subjects. This nonmodern perspective suggests an ecological metaphysics of intersubjectivity along the lines o...

The Inner Meaning of Outer Space:Human Nature and the Celestial Realm2008 •
Kant afirmaba que los seres humanos poseen un conocimiento a priori del espacio. Aunque este argumento se centra en la fisica de los cuerpos, tambien tiene implicaciones para la psicologia del ser. Muchas culturas humanas organizan las estrellas en constelaciones (imponen estructura); atribuyen propiedades, conductas y habilidades a objetos en el reino celeste (esto es, determinan significado); y usan la regularidad percibida en los reinos celestes para el desarrollo de calendarios, navegaciones de grandes distancias, agricultura y astrologia (buscan prediccion y control). La inaccesibilidad fisica del reino celeste permite una potente fuente de metaforas, asi como la proteccion de los mitos sobre el origen y la ascension, los lugares del poder y aquellos donde habitan dioses, seres inmortales y otras almas. Los desarrollos en astronomia y cosmologia influyeron las opiniones sobre la naturaleza humana y el lugar de la humanidad en el universo; estos cambios ponen en paralelo los des...

The shaman has become a potent symbol of our mystic participation with Earth's spirit. But can shamanism help us regain this primal awareness? The Way Beyond The Shaman answers this question by taking the reader on an epic journey back to the origins of shamanism deep within the last ice age. After penetrating to the very roots of shamanism, the book offers a powerful vision of human consciousness evolving into the future, transformed by life-giving spirit of shamanism. A profound transformation of human consciousness is seen to be taking place today, a realignment of mind and body, so that Earth's spirit may once again be perceived and directly, not only by seers and shamans, but by all. The elegant simplicity of the book's radical central thesis is that you don't have to conduct elaborate rituals or engage in strenuous inner journeys to contact or perceive Earth's spirit. It is right there, in the deep celebratory awareness of the dignity and power of our own physical bodies as aspects and expressions of Earth. Awakening to the spirit of shamanism is an experience accessible to anyone willing to allow the transformative power and elemental physicality of Earth's spirit into their lives.
