Eco-spirituality is based on a fundamental belief in the sacredness of nature, Earth, and the universe. It is also based on the fact that we as humans are not separate from nature, we are a part of it. The belief that humanity is somehow separate and above nature has created many of today's problems in one way or another.
Traditional eco-spirituality is as old as humanity and has been practiced by indigenous peoples since the begriming. Today's nondenominational eco-spirituality as practiced on this website includes yet transcends traditional eco-spirituality.
From the eco-spiritual perspective, Ultimate Reality (God, Spirit, Buddha, and/or the Divine,) is not just the source of creation it is very much also a part of creation; a part with which we can interact on a daily basis through our senses and from such experiences gain greater insight into the wonder of reality.
On a personal level, this inherent sacredness of nature and our complete immersion within it generally leads to a spiritually motivated engagement in the current environmental and global warming crises of our planet (see the Job One for Humanity plan,) and a dedication to the justice and long view of a sustainable prosperity for all.
If a complex system continually repeats something over great lengths of time it is reasonable to treat that repeated item as something that the system values, is important to the system or, that somehow is (or has become,) an essential part of the system's overall success. Universe evolution has consistently reoccurring core patterns some of which that have been repeating themselves successfully ever since the Big Bang almost 13.7 million years ago. Knowing, aligning with and using these time-proven, consistently reoccurring core patterns of progressive evolution will greatly enhance personal and group success.
