Ecosofía: Para una espiritualidad de la Tierra
Panikkar, Raimon1994
Ecosophy is a wisdom-spirituality of the Earth that is revealed when a person learns how to listen to the Earth with love beyond simple ecology. We must overcome simple ecological attitudes and to go deeper into the investigation of a new balance between matter and spirit. This new equilibrium integrates God, man and the cosmos. The function of the human species is not to dominate the Earth but to cultivate it, starting with personal self-cultivation, followed by the cultivation of the soul and then the Earth. Body, Soul and Earth are three aspects of the same culture and reality. The cosmotheandric intuition is based on the following facts: there is no such a thing as a human being or Nature in isolation. They exist for each other with God in the midst of these two realities. No ecological improvement of the world will succeed unless it considers our Earth as our body and our body as our Self.
