Marco, when Federica refers to the vertical path to dealing with these environmental issues, perhaps a concrete example will help.
What is your view, for example, on the idea that the Earth is a living and sentient being, with its own intentional first-person perspective just as we have ours? Of course, that doesn't mean the Earth is thinking in verbal concepts and analyzing the warming of its body, but simply that the metamorphoses of its bodies have some integral relationship with its higher-order soul and spiritual existence.
That doesn't mean humanity has no relevance for the Earth organism's metamorphoses, either. On the contrary, humanity is like the brain of this organism and is becoming increasingly responsible for stewarding its psychic and bodily rhythms. Yet would you agree this can only be done properly from a place of deep spiritual insight into the higher-order intentions through which the Earth's state of being unfolds?
Otherwise, it is as if we are a doctor confronted with a patient who has a high temperature and our first response, instead of doing diagnostic tests and conversing with the patient to resonate with their inner state of being, is to dose them up with whatever medications we can find based on myopic knowledge that some of these medications were correlated with lowering temperatures in the past, even though we have no deep insight as to why there is a temperature to begin with.
Marco, supposing there’s agreement that, from the perspective of a post-material worldview, reality at its core is of ideal nature, and the material world - including the climatic events Earth manifests in time - is the densest layer of a unitary whole (as above, so below) only transduced in the heavily aliased “ideational byproduct” that the human physical five senses of today are able to record, a question has arisen from this reading. In your prefiguration of material solutions to the present human crisis, I notice that the reference to the suprasensible, conscious alignment of being that would constitute, in primal and crucial sense, a way out of the present crisis, is left out. What is the purpose with this take? Do you agree that it’s only when we become the change we want to see in the world, first and foremost in our consciousness, through active development of our suprasensible (thinking and feeling) faculties - individually and collectively - that we gain a chance to apprehend the higher orders of being, hence to orient our future deeds towards the good, through conscious moral action in the world, not when man merely attempts to impact the physical layers of reality through rational-logical devices, elaborated by the intellect, if the latter remains unaware of its depth structure?
