Thomas' Holistic world view
Something that is whole, complete is more than just the sum of its single components
Our planet earth is a living organism
We as humans are just one of several cohabitants, a part of this giant organism earth
Microorganisms - bacteria, viruses, fughi etc. - are first of all natural creatures living ever since and long before human beings on this planet
Most importantly, it is all about a healthy coexistence between microorganisms and humans
A healthy human life is a constant process of developement, that is in movement all along our lives
The living organisms earth, nature and humans etc. are primarily self-reliant, autonomous, self-regulating and self-healing ecosystems - homoestasis
We human beings are spiritual beings living in "body-houses"
Our body-houses are composed of different levels - physical-substantial, vegetative-autonomous, emotional-sensitive and mental-cognitive
Human beings can be understood also as built up out of the 5 elements - earth, water, air, fire and quintessence/space - that all need to be balanced
Sickness in humans are natural and important - they can be understood as necessary "updates" or even "upgrades" of individual and collective human developements
When we humans behave as pathogenetic, sickening microorganisms on the organism earth, then we experience the immunsystem of it - pandemics, nature disasters etc.
Human life has two levels or worlds - the relative, substantial and the absolute, divine world - and need to be lived balanced in this polarity
In this time of "Kali Yoga" we can experience a relative human world in the absence of wisdom
We as human beings urgently need to re-discover, integrate and live the wisdom within the Relative and the Absolute
We need more nations like Buthan, a landlocked country in asia, where a "Gross National Happiness" instead of "Gross National Porduct" is measured by a particular governmental department
