Eco Spirituality – Looking through Olympuss

Foreword
Long since I have been to the world of words, even though, this is a trial to reset myself in to it. I am not a reader or a writer. My Language is limited. I don’t know much about conventional philosophy or spirituality. The subjects described here are the outcome of my 28 years long exploration towards universal existence and living and my past 16 year long Commune life experience.

I am not familiar with the debates on the connection between Spirituality and Religion. All I know is the general world consider Spirituality as extra-ordinary or super natural phenomena. As it been a phenomena, this may not relate with the material life, they say.
Also I have seen many with a strong belief that the belief itself does not exist. Rationalism and mere religionalism (so called spiritualism), both run behind the logical explanations about their beliefs, and so they be away from experience. In the earlier days, I wondered, how they all hold different perspectives on a unique reality, and the life as an ecosopher in an ecosophical gurukula taught me how they differ.

Though Materialists and Spiritualist oppose each other, they don’t go beyond, in search of truth, or even in to a neutral tolerant way to understand the adjacent path. Even myself might be like that, but as per my experiences, I could sense this path which I teach is true, through which I experimented (?) as part of exploration and committed training to my close ones in my commune.

Collective alignment of the quantum particles in this universe manifests a thing, whether it be a subject or an object. If it has not manifested, it doesn’t mean that it does not exist or it will not become. This manifestation may or may not go along with the cognitive span. If one can understand this phenomenality and practice in a collective - creative direction, she / he can lead her/his life Successfully, Peacefully and Cognitively. Whatever be their destiny, (Knowledge, Wealth, Well-being ness, Peace and so on) they can achieve it by themselves. The mere knowledge on the proven theory is not essential to achieve the destiny, but belief on this basics coporealize the manifestation.

But those who have educated enough culturally, religiously or academically would not easily break the fences of logic and reasoning. For them to make the manifestation coporealize, a De-Education methodology is essential. Here I make the de education in a simpler manner. With this I am not trying to redefine Spirituality. But, I am trying to say that, this is also a way to understand spirituality, not simply theoretical, but practical.
More theories or hypotheses may be articulated after learning, knowing, believing and practicing these basics. Here I dedicate this before those who have given me LESSONS.
Introduction

Spirituality – In general context
Spirituality, as conventionally perceive is the understanding or knowing about the Spirit or Essence which drives an object or become the basic reason for it. This might be due to the almighty, or an ordination. There for spirituality is the communication between human wisdom and a higher sense. There can be various communication Medias like worship, rituals, magic’s etc. The conventional Spiritualism is strongly connected with religion. In Religious Spirituality, it is used for achieving some material benefits like wealth, success and peace of mind.
In the modern world, people come out from religions due to various reasons and still in their mind sets, the requirement for a system of mind management arises and they generally go behind spirituality without religion. In both ways, the destiny is Material Benefit, not the wisdom or relative-hood-ness with the phenomenality. But in the traditional (but non conventional) spirituality, a space for knowledge about the self and the internal – external universes, is available. In this paradigm, there are several schools which aim knowledge, sense of truth, experience, attainment and so on. Some modern schools aim the success in life and some aim altogether. Eco-Spirituality is one among those with a destiny of sustenance, sense and success.

Eco-Spirituality is a Post Modern term coined after the prophecy of Ecosophy (Ecological Philosophy) and Deep-Ecology by the Norwegian Philosopher Arne Næs in early seventies. This was the out come of impacts observed by him from the ecological movements grew up after Rachel Carson’s book “Silent Spring”. His stand was on Emotional Approach and against Logic and Reasoning of the Environmentalists.

Materialism Vs Spiritualism
Logic and Reasoning are spectacles for the humans to understand a subject relating to an object or an event. With Logic and Reasoning alone one cannot understand the Holistic or Phenomenal states of the visible world. There are practices available from centuries to override this leap of intellectual to Intuitional understanding. Logical mindset blocks one from understanding a subject, object or an event, in its exact holistic form. Even this logic cannot be understood by the people stands for it, because their Cerebral Cortex and Synaptic Plasticity are made like that. Tolerance on the opponent leads some of them to step slowly towards the fact. But if they are physically logical (Ref: Human Rhythm Spectrum) they cannot reach the cognitive destiny, even if they wish.

Experience and Intuition are the basic sense nodes for spirituality. No Logic can pay any role in that. But the Logic is essential when a need of interpretation arise. Here in the general society Spirituality lives in the form of interpretational logic, so that the exact sense and experience of Spirituality are being buried. When Logical reasoning exists, the Experience and Intuition cannot happen with its exact function. Even in Spiritual Interpretations, the understanding starts from, where the logic ends.

In the world of civilized human, the Logic and Reasoning always deny the possibility of Intuition, and the Interpretational stories deny the existence of material reasoning. Both paradigms fight each other without understanding the combined and paradoxical existence of Holism.
Eco-Spirituality sees the universe as a whole, which been coordinated by a set of Natural / Universal Laws. According to this school, (also according to Quantum Physics) all elements of this Holistic Whole alone cannot form it. The elements of the Holistic Whole and SOME THING add together form it. This SOME THING can be called as Spirituality. As this paradigm of understanding is not relating to conventional religion, and directly related to ECO, this school is called Eco-Spirituality. As Ecology been a branch of science, it focuses only on the material explanations on the Eco. But Ecosophy does not wait for a proof; it tries to interpret the phenomenal state of Eco. Eco-Spirituality lies beyond these limits and starts only from here.

Dissidence in Perceiving and Understanding
There are various streams of approach in the schools of Materialism, Spiritualism and Holism. Some of these streams are dissident on some others like the dissidence between the schools of thoughts. The basic reason for the dissidence is the difference of the capability on perceiving and understanding. Perceiving and understanding are influenced mainly by the Rhythm-Logic Ratio (RL-Ratio; Ref: Rhythm Spectrum) of the entity who perceives. This entity can be an individual, a group or a set of groups. The inter element communication and the Intra – Trans system communications, determinate the capability and pattern of perceiving and understanding. The Environment, the Culture in which it grew up and the RL-Ratio of the entity are the major influencing factors of the capability and pattern or perceiving and understanding. As all Perceiving and Understanding entities are belonging to one system or another, all will have different types of streams or schools. Again the RL-Ratio determines the decision to be dissident or tolerant. Dissidence would close the doors of the paths to the absolute knowledge and being tolerant is not so easy.

Olympuss – An Ecosophical / Deep-Ecological Doctrine
Olympuss is an Ecosophical Doctrine on Cognitive and Transcendental Environments. This is a collective of Material, Phenomenal, Functional, Cognitive and Energetic Interpretations on the holistic state of universal living.
This school of thought originated in eighties by me, while I was trying to train youngsters from various walks of life to form an integrated eco-village. Many a times I had to make orations of the interpretations on Universal existence in the Cognitive and Transcendental environments. As part of the public exhortations, as Kerala is the “Intellectuals own country”, I had to make them undergo various mental, physical and spiritual De education methodologies. Though the De-Education worked well in many, their intellect blocked from going beyond. They stuck up on these interpretations and refused to break the hypotheses, and experience the absolute. So this is a trial for search, for those who are ready for a break through journey.

What Olympuss Perceives
Olympuss perceives this universe as a whole. From prime element to the universe, it has fashioned as systems. A system is a collection of its elements and their mutuality and will be a part of a major system. Each system will have its own Material, Phenomenal, Functional, Cognitive and Energic forms and those are interrelated.
Olympuss perceives the universal life as a monotonous mergence with all Co – Intra – Trans systems. Knowledge about the relative existence would be based on experience and intuition. The cultural bound human can become submissive, when he can be de educated from the conventions, by achieving the holistic sense. The submissive life can be turn to a versatile successive life with the knowledge on the holistic state of the universal life. The success can be material, nauminal, functional, cognitive and well being.

Relational state with other dissident streams
As my data on the other streams are low, the text under this title may not be relevant. According to my knowledge, the schools to provide a holistic life are not available in the geographically reachable regions of this writer. There can be schools with same destiny and dissident schools can be many.
