Abyssus abyssum invocat: Towards a Kosmic Gnosis
In this age of the Anthropocene, where secular humanism reigns and technology reduces both the planet and the individual to mere resources, a deeper crisis unfolds—one of disconnection from the very forces that sustain life. In this provocative talk, David Beth challenges the anthropocentric metaphysics that underpins our destructive path. He invites us to break free from this narrow view and reattune to the kosmic rhythms that pulse beneath the surface of existence. Through this realignment, we may cultivate a new sense of holiness that resonates deeply with our essence, offering a renewed lens through which to engage with the Kosmos. By embracing this perspective, we, as individuals and community, open ourselves to the boundless richness and power of Life—an ever-unfolding mystery that surpasses our understanding and leaves us in perpetual awe.
