Creative Secularism

The advent of EcoBioHumanism requires a new social model of coexistence, and we found it in a new model  that we called model of creative secularism.Up until today, and in the last two centuries, two relational schemes have existed amongst men: that of illuminist secularism and that of illuminated secularism.

The first one can be linked to the category of the anticlerical. It is based on the social application of the same rules that pervaded the manipulation of natural elements (taken in separation from the universe).

The second one may be linked to the category of the pro-clericals, and is based on man’s autonomy  in disposing of material and earthly things. This is founded on a justice that focuses on moral and ethics.
These two “true ideological projects” always leave out the presence of the Spirit in the human reality. For those who believe in God, they exclude the presence of the Infinite that meets men.

The application of reason for the secular Enlightenment often mistakenly becomes a true dogma, and so rejects any spiritual growth, seeking to obtain a clear distinction from the clergy as a final act of self defense for the government, greatly limiting the personal growth of men and of humanity, since every dogma prevents people from evolving.
Alternatively, the “secular enlightened” considers himself to be the owner of a dogmatic revelation for which he demands independence from the ecclesiastical sphere, with regard to the management of earthly things, but subordination towards the form of purification imposed by the clergy, and even here any dogma puts a real damper on the growth of the person.

Clearly, the two models currently prevailing in our secularized Western social system exclude the presence of God, of the Infinite and especially of the Spirit. There is a problem at the source of it all: the fact that God  and his Spirit aren’t considered like a layman who wants to reach the hearts of men.

This situation lasted for about two centuries and was very, very useful for both sides, so that they could maintain a high conflict, sometimes fictitious, which has allowed them to maintain and perpetuate their highest state of power on ‘humanity.
This situation keeps God’s apart from men. This is explained by some expressions in the Bible, such as “…in the beginning God created…”, while the correct translation should be the following: “…in the first eternal moment God creates…”, because this is what the Hebrew “bereshit” means.

This means that the creation of the world is still in place and continues with the man who is called to fully participate in each instance of its history.
So the biosphere, being a continuous relationship and change, is the best example of this continuous creation. In fact, the biosphere is the main element of Bereshit.

Our Ecobihum originates right from the concept of bereshit, where man’s creative act finds a place in the context of all creation, the same way in which a dna filament is duplicated: a new filament is created so that 2 strings become 4 without losing anything of their own nature.
During the first humanism, the creative act was only referable to the man who shared the experience of God and with God.
In EcoBioHumanism, the creative act is referable to the man who shares with everything that is both human and divine experience.
According to what we said, the Spirit and God can’t be held hostage by illuministic or ecclesiastic organizations with their respective secular and social models that prevent men from meeting them.

Our EcoBioHumanism originates from a third dimension of secularism: the relationship between men and God, Spirit and Infinite, where the Enlightenment and the Church, evolved by the idea of Bereshit and by the biosphere, must represent only an aid for this encounter, and not the definition of new dogmas.
Reason mustn’t be de-spiritualized nor purified. It just has to be helped in its encounter with knowledge and wisdom… phronosophy.

This encounter between men, God, Spirit and the Infinite is also present in those who seek in the Enlightenment an evolution of the relationship between reason and man’s interiority , where his becoming God is hidden.Our secular dimension can be defined as one that propugnates the communion of the mutual fecundation of different things. The one where 1+1 = 3. The one where God needs men to continue creating the world.
