The unfolding of Eco-Philosophy represents a significant shift in both understanding and living upon the Earth. In the last 15 years I have been involved in supporting and witnessing its continual enfoldment and transcendence.

The articulation of this new philosophy is based on wholeness and responsibility for living on and with the Earth and all its beings. It took many years to unfold because the shift of awareness from a materialistic civilization to a spiritual/ecological civilization necessitates new levels of understanding. After 20 years of Henryk Skolimowski sharing and articulating Eco-Philosophy there came a growing acceptance of it as a new field and many others began to formulate variations of its scope. The application and consequence of the Eco-Philosophy world view is being carried on by others. This is a necessary complement to Eco-Philosophy: the seeing and the being.

The past 10 years have been intense and significant for Eco-Philosophy because it has become a philosophy of transcendence. Once the new wider vision was clarified, a deeper understanding and new perspectives were consequently articulated such as the Participatory Mind, Spiritual Ecology and Spiritual Politics. In a parallel way, a transcendent process has been happening in Physics from Classical Physics to the New Physics.

More recently a new understanding of Cosmos is being articulated. Viewed from the perspective of Cosmos and Light, the reading of the nature and transcendence of Light can be embraced and known for the well being of all beings.

This is a work in process. Henryk Skolimowski’s book “Light, Creativity, and the Divinity of Being” is now completed and waiting to be published. The further articulation and consequence of this work is exciting, revelatory, and breath taking.

Personally what I find astonishing is to witness how the luminosity of this transcendent philosophy brings the light of awareness to people literally. I have witnessed this so many times that it is manifest to me. In this observation I see how the light of consciousness can bring transcendence to consciousness.

The responsibility for transformation of light through us is our task at hand. Let us bring this on in truth, goodness and beauty- the vessel so beautifully articulated by Plato. May the vessel be filled with the Light of transcendence.
