The need of developing a cosmo(s)cene and conscious cosmopolitan society is essential to evolve. Human mankind has to obey global limits to survive in dignity to restore the worldwide balance of cycles of lifesupporting systems in co-existence: life-style and philosophy called ECO-Existentialism 1as an unfolding evolution of Human Mankind.

Ether (æther) as Quintessence The traditional four elements are wind, earth, water and fire, later æther was added as fifth element or essence: quintessence. Ether inter-connects the existing elements, brought them in movement.

Ether behaves like a spirit, it doesn’t appear an substantial phenomenon but as energy. Ancient Greeks called it the zone where the Gods breathe. Ether became the layer of modern communication, interaction of (social) media by ic-technology 1

Ill.3: Pentagram: integration of 5 elements united in sustainable cycle

Geometrical Structures Unity in diversity is a quotation that has been used by many architects and urbanists; perhaps H.P. Berlage was the first who spoke it exactly in translated words: Eenheid in veelheid. In translation it is based on holism: the interaction of the holon (part) to the holos (whole) and vice verse.

The holon is like the atom the essential stone to build structures and systems by multiplication, variation and diversification or mutation.

Co-existence of the hole and the part works as an interaction.

Architect-theologian Hans Dom van der Laan worked out a theory of a universal harmonic proportion in his book Le Nombre Plastique 2 (the Plastic Number) which is based on the golden proportion or the divina proportione of the Golden ratio. This Golden ratio was discovered by Pythagoras: the plastic number ρ (the Greek ‘Phi’ letter of alphabet, also known as the plastic constant).

Holism Hippocrates of Kos (460-377 BC) tried to bridge both points of view.

He settled the fundament of a holistic health of a integral body that depends on the dynamic interaction of the several organs of the living organism. This principle is called holism. He used the knowledge of 6000 medical herbs on the Isle of Kos and of existing know-how elsewhere.

Importance of interlinking ManEnvironment: Environment(ality) mutual relation and support between men of environment

Environmentalism The publication of Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring in 1962 emerged Environmentalism as a popular grass roots political movement in the 1960's. Those already involved in conservation/ preservation efforts were joined by many others concerned about the detrimental environmental impacts of modern industrial technology.

The longer range, older elements of the movement included writers and activists.

Human mankind has to take responsibility and show respect for the environmental life and its life-cycles on planet Earth. Wealth is reached by wellness and livability, an interaction of ecology and economy by respecting biodiversity and fair trade.

Eco-(Philo)sophy Arne Naess quoted an original definition of ecosophy:“By an ecosophy I mean a philosophy of ecological harmony or equilibrium. A philosophy as a kind of wisdom, is openly normative, it contains both norms,

rules,

postulates,

value

priority

announcements

and

hypotheses concerning the state of affairs in our universe. Wisdom is policy wisdom, prescription, not only scientific description and prediction. The details of an ecosophy will show many variations due to significant differences concerning not only the ‘facts’ of pollution,

CyberEmpathy - Visual and Media Studies Academic Journal ISSUE 7 2014 Visual Strategies ISSN 2299-906X

resources, population, etc. but also value priorities.” 3 Ecosophy and Eco-philosophy by Henryk Skolimowski4 as a living philosophy aware of the inner spirit and empathic ability like love derived from the awareness of concerned scientists and civilians about the state of the World in post-war time. Skolimowski refers in his book Het theater van de geest on page 70: “Eco-Philosophy means eco-humanism, a philosophy to design new tactics for living. Evolution a self-sensitive process in a cosmos of self-sensitive unfolding. Soft aspects like esthetical and moral openness and capacity of abstract thinking will develop sensitivity instead of objectivity.”…Under deep insight he continues: “..being connected with each others as fully adult human creatures. Mystics, prophets and poets: we can reach eternity, and “Alternative new worldviews, matrices and paradigms are needed. Not only a scientific empirical view.”…

“The book of Nature is written in living forms not mathematical formula. Mathematical worldview is a metaphor of rootless mankind.

Progress of technical society in spite of spiritual poverty reflects a progress of self-cheat.”5 Develop telepathy and empathy as divine flame and sympathy as social medium!!

cosmo-politans embrace a new socio-economic and human-ecological system, called Cosmopolitanism in addition to Capitalism, based on fair trade, limited to natural growth by biorhythm to respect health of people and vitality of environment. It will bring another kind of profit in the world, not based on wealth related on quantity of goods, but a quantity that is again based on quality of life, on values like healthy work-condition, respect for People and Nature, it will bring a wellness for all people, an average income that is related to self-support of own produced food next to the place where people live.

Food production will be again one a the mean actions of work in every bodies life next to sharing creativeness to make own individual designs of objects.

Evolution of Unfolded Human Mankind The vision of a restored Middle as Medium in the Phase of COEvolution is based on the explanation of the triptych The Garden of Earthen Delights. Di(Vision) of the triptych painted by Bosch could be seen as phases of evolution in mankind (article CO-Existentialism part 1). They radically changed by getting an overview of our globe viewed in space. Even scientists were overwhelmed to get an impression of the wholeness of our planet. James Lovelock expressed his admiration by a theory of the Earth as living super-organism he called Gaia. He

CyberEmpathy - Visual and Media Studies Academic Journal ISSUE 7 2014 Visual Strategies ISSN 2299-906X

reviewed his hypothesis of Gaia written in 1979.6 In the Netherlands Kees Zoeteman got inspirited by Lovelock’s hypothesis and wrote about Gaiasophia7, which influenced the policy of the second national environmental policy plan NMP2, Kiezen of Verliezen (Choose or Lose) published in 1992. In that time the Dutch policy became one of the leaders to take measurements to solve urgent targets to serve the polluted environment.

About evolution Skolimowski writes in his book The Theatre of the Mind: Evolution in the sensitive cosmos as ‘becoming into being, visible flowers of the tree in development’… ‘The weak flower of ethics flourish under right circumstances. Essence of being through timemoved outing. Evolution explodes constantly into being. Universe is one of ‘becoming’…’Ecological theory of mind a new freedom in unfolding universe, a new insight of coming mind. Mind and imagination

Deep Sustainability A deep Sustainability shows a social-ecological based, bio-based economy. Deep Sustain-Ability starts from Ecology as principle (left corner). Deep sustainability is based in the roots, the planet Earth as foundation. Deep sustainability is related to deep ecology of Arne Naess and others, an eco-philosophy and Environmentalism.

our Planet as organic meta-bolism in interaction and -relation in cosmological plan of Universe. Rebirth of golden middle!

Nobel-prize winner in Physics of 1997 Paul Crutzen speaks of the ‘Antropoceen’ in context of the phase of geological Age as a result of the human (Gr: anthropos) impact since industrial revolution. Human mankind is factor that influenced the change in climate for instance by polluting atmosphere. The author of article refer to call present time Cosmo(s)cene Age concerning our scientific know-how (even with doubts) about the geological science and discovering of Cosmos.

He speaks of Anthropo(s)cene (Scene of Man) Age in context of historical social-economical change: start in period of late Middle Age to early Renaissance when agriculture production became technological. First revolution of technology is the mechanical revolution of intensive agriculture the wealth grow of over-production so population and cities.

Cosmic overview Our View of the World radical changed with a global overview of Plane Earth in the spot of cosmonauts in their spaceship Apollo 11 to the Moon in 1969 (ill.1). The image of Planet Earth in the Universe called spaceship Earth did realize the observers to take more care for our common fragile home. The limits of this beautiful and vital planet became visible and tangible on distance. Also the incredible difference with the dark and dusty Moon. The luck and gratitude to be a global citizen

Vision of human-ecological settlements First revolution of technology was the mechanical revolution of intensive agriculture when people settled down as farmers who still were concerned about the biorhythm of seasons and other natural laws. The wealth grow as result of over-production and so population and cities increased. Specialization in crafts and development of talents were possible. The correlation between the development of agriculture and urbanization is essential. The relation between city and agriculture has been broken during especially since industrial revolution.

Prof. Peter Schmid argued to bring the nature to the city and vice versa and to build Integral Bio-logical Architecture (IBA).9 Prof.

Ekhart Hahn spoke of Siedlungsökologie (settlement ecology) to restore link of human settled and civilized communities and natural surroundings.10 Prof. Louise Fresco wants to interlink the natural and built environment (city) as essential symbiosis to survive in the globalized [Sassen 1990; global city]11 (mega)cities and regions [Florida 2002/2008; creative class and mega region]12 worldwide in the next future.13 A global movement to stimulate more sustainable and autarkic communities has to be created: human-ecological minded communities.

Cosmopolitan Society The Post-Capitalistic system as SustainAble System by triple PPPcombination should be a perfect match between the interaction and relation between People, Planet and Profit. We have to respect again the natural time of growth of Life of all species, it is inherent at life itself. Every kind of life needs a time of rest, certainly the time when reproduction by specie has come, to bring a new generation, which again needs the time to develop. The leaks of life have to be respected again to stabilize the of all kind of fishes for instance again. The stabilization of species in each ecosystem is a guarantee that the cycles necessary for the circles of Life will continue. Like each specie have their own capacity and way of appearance through evolution we as specie of homo sapiens sapiens have the capacity and ability to distinguish ourselves from each other. Being individuals makes us unique, gives us a way to develop our talents and capacities. In this way

we

are

different

not

equal.

E-quality is based on equivalence in fact , not on equality in sense of similarity. It’s true: nobody is equal but we should be equivalent in the way we are human beings who built communities in societies worldwide. The Evolution of a Homo universalis: worldwide Homo sapiens-socialis-mollis-ludens-faber! Human beings as (re)creators and ethical stewards.

Cosmopolitan Art Cosmopolitan Art like the worldwide manifestations of Christo and Jeane Claude made. They settled attention on existing subjects, which they covered with textiles. They never spoke in terms of packaging, they disguise things like a magician. This way of hiding an object increase the tension. It’s like a striptease-act or an indian templedance

of veils. The presence of the present it lost, it is hidden, you only can guess what is inside the package, like what is happening just behind the curtains back on the stage; feelings of tingling! The hidden form of course gives you a certain impression, but you can imagine yourself what is hidden behind. Questioning: Is democracy in western countries really open and open minded? Or does it only look like?

What happens behind the façade? Privacy of citizens are often blamed and their account of mails and phones more often are used by intelligent corps without knowledge and permission of the private owners.

Western Democracy needs a new and refreshing Enlightenment; a growing amount of cosmopolitan citizens don’t accept the hidden silence any longer. They take the road to demonstrate again.

It is like unpacking your birthday-present. You still will be uncertain till the moment you deliver the paper from the surprise you got as gift.

Surprise surprise, really Sur Prise (A price above the price you all ready paid for your present, that will be in “absense” till the moment it will be free of its temporary hidden existence! We play with love hide and seek even as adults: it’s fun anyway! The way the artistic couple presents their objects as presents cold be seen as a cosmo-politan statement of searching the truth, being free citizen, the wish of people to touch the reality of things, the reality behind what looks like showing its pure and open mindness.

Cosmopolitanism: New World Order This Post-Capitalism system or Holistic (Integral) Sustainable System is meanly based on equality of all in first line on the equality of human-beings. E-Quality in sense and based on We-Quality, the quality of the integral and interaction by cooperating individuals who have a standard basic of existence, for every P (People) that is related on the bearable carrying capacity of our P (planet Earth): we got only one, we have to share in good sense (ratio) with all, the way of fairness to share again the P (Profit) we make by co-operation and partnership based on Fair Trade and keeping intact the biodiversity of life itself because it is the basic fundament to keep our natural ecological system in balance.

LIFE CYCLE ANALYSES by GLOBAL LIFE(STYLE) [Global LCA] of COSMOPOLITAN (E)CO-EXISTENTIALISM All spoken elements concerning Cosmopolism are integrated in the following model. It represents the unfolded development of a global model of a worldview based on open, unveiled co-operation.

COSMOPOLITAN MODEL of global COOPERATION

Model that shows 5th Sense of Interconnection (see earlier in text) but in acting, trading and thinking of cosmopolitans regained collective lifestyle of shared togetherness by sustainable house-

hold(ing)s worldwide.

Fig.2 Co- Operational Model: Cosmopolitanism as synthesis of sustainable Cosmopolitic Dualistic Lifestyle in cooperative House - Hold(ing)s

Global citizens: Sustainers and Containers A sustainable co-existence will synergize both: The synthetic answer of being and having is a question of the way how to behave (Behavior).

To be sustainable is to behave in balanced way, learning to share life in co-existence as essential meaning of importance. Becoming conscious stewards, an evolution of mankind as growth from human(ity)-in-development to ethical human beings and behaviors.

Global citizens and villagers live as sustainable cosmopolitans.

Thinking about connection ‘Land-City’ artist Patrick Blanc introduced the Edible Park: a project of permaculture in Zuiderpark The Hague (NL).

Transition into modern commercialized and merchandised world Human beings have to learn to (re)think and (re)act in circles, in cycles. Like our life and our Planet dynamic moves in progressive

CyberEmpathy - Visual and Media Studies Academic Journal ISSUE 7 2014 Visual Strategies ISSN 2299-906X

processes our lifestyle should be managed by circular and cycling thinking and acting, even our economy: a circular economy of integral (re)cycling.

In a growing globalized world of multinational corporations (MNC) or multinational enterprises (MNE), now often shortened called ‘multinationals’, the quotation ‘Thinking globally, acting locally’ functions only sustainable if they are again really concerned about good conditions worldwide: ‘con-cerned’ on locality or Place (Planet), ‘being responsible on pit: taking care for a pit by making it fit’ (Czabanowski, 2013).

Sustainable Multinationals quote ‘Acting globally is acting, thinking and trading locally’ (Czabanowski, 2013). Global or globally means already an interesting mixture of ‘in general’ and ‘worldwide’.

Sustainable profit as global prosperity in long term means a global cooperation as a synergetic symbiosis for All, not only for the privileged happy few. Peace is a final result of satisfaction of All, a condition of being content. A fact of good conditions reached by fairness and equality. Global Justice to reach Peace by Universal Togetherness. 15

Spiritology: values and norms It is good to have our dreams and keep on dreaming, making our desires becoming (perhaps) true, but the old American Dream looks to become a global Nightmare as a lifestyle of consume for beyond basic needs. Like the wise man Mahatma Gandhi said (in own words): how 15

Today a ‘functional’ Neo-Capitalistic of neoliberal market-system needs much more capacity than in Mahatma Gandhi’s days. The global developing technology has to grow in artificial speed out of natural and human order and comprehension. Machines of artificial intelligence rule the world of so-called free international market.

act in processes like nature with eco-cycles are essential to recover natural systems. Natural systems follow a natural laws, machines mechanical laws. In meantime the human civilization developed an interaction of nature and culture which caused a mixed or hybrid system of natural culture and cultured nature. The evolution of Mankind and progress of technology both influenced the evolution as a developing progress-in-process.

This interactive process of evolution shaped mankind as co- and recreators with technical tools known as technology. Kevin Kelly torpedoed the term ‘technium’ as an self-unfolding evolution of technology-in- development. Technium itself contributes to unfold the universe. Technique as tool of mankind gets more natural optical appearance. It fits more to an existing existence –in-progress. Like ancient philosopher Heraklit of Ephesus (594-484 BC) observed: Everything moves, nothing stays the same (Panta rhei, kai ouden menai). Especially the cosmos is an endless process of movement in interaction with evolution. Mathematical philosopher Pythagoras (570-495 BC) pointed on the unity of body and soul being essential for an integral health.

PPPP-Model of Sustainability 21 At the UN-Conference Johannesburg (2002) a proposal of change was submitted: the disliked P of Profit should be changed in Prosperity.

Other proposed to move in the P of Project.

Next to these triple P’s which carry ‘Sustainability’ a 4th column needs to be added to get even more stability in our global dynamic evolution.

The 4th P of Pneuma, Greek for Spirituality is one of the options. The author chose for the P of Progress to underline the acceleration of evolution. Knowing the lack of the actual spirituality as a drive for inspiration the united neologism ‘Spiritology’ as knowledge, science

CyberEmpathy - Visual and Media Studies Academic Journal ISSUE 7 2014 Visual Strategies ISSN 2299-906X

and education of the collective Spirit of Human Mankind and the Know-How of the cosmic Universe is chosen. This Spiritology researches the Cosmic or Universal Order in which astronomical and astrological high-technology is a necessary part to do research and study the Cosmos. Religion as part of human mankind researched the origin of mankind making use of Spirituality as meaning to evolve oneself to meet a higher level of existence and consciousness. This higher level is personalized by giving a name: Jahweh, God, Buddha, Allah, Krishna, Lord for instance. These names are holy names to express the respect to this higher Existence.

Spiritology acts as counterpart of Sociology as science of Human Mankind (Humanistic Studies) Spiritology connects Ideology in sense of like world of thoughts of Plato and Technology, the progression of evolution by ideas and their realization by technologies (ict and others). Cosmo-politanism gives power to world citizens: “We are the people�, a global warning to a little happy few who think they are the Exceptions on Earth. On many places revolutions and movements like Occupy represent the power of global citizens.

Human mankind had to be evolved learning to incorporate local tradition, taste and products next to original produced consumption. Global world market overseas increased.

During next centuries global world market brought a co-existence of local and global products. The low price of oil in last century caused an imbalance of regional and global products. Transport of products and persons became lucrative. The global perspective of globalization was born.
