A New Vision

The perception of reality is often tinged with illusions, where the individual faces mirages that obscure the understanding of their existence. Yona Messi's work proposes a vision of Earth as an extension of oneself, encouraging a relationship of respect and love for our environment. This approach emphasizes that the individual is a sum of temporary and interdependent aggregates, whose perceptions are often blurred and uncertain. The phenomenology of our experience highlights the importance of a conscious interpretation of our connection with the Earth, suggesting that this awareness could foster better protection of our planet.

In a societal context focused on perceived infinite growth, it is crucial to recognize the limits of our world. The emergence of new perspectives is essential to avoid an imminent collapse. Andreas Messie identifies three fundamental elements to bring about this change: mobilization to reject what does not work, the creation of new ideas and forms, and the spiritual work necessary for this transformation. The latter involves the development of a benevolent consciousness, aiming to reduce both personal and altruistic suffering. As therapists, it is imperative to encourage a form of simplicity and renunciation, thereby achieving authentic contentment and lasting joy.
