Embodied knowledge and communities of knowledge to cohabit the Earth
To address the great challenges facing humanity, humans need to feel united
as inhabitants of the Earth, to feel that their future is tied to the future of all living beings,
and that the universe contains all levels and all relationships that encompass its parts. To
achieve this requires widening knowledge of the interconnection and interdependence that
govern the world on all scales, accessing an individual and collective understanding that
impacts not only the rational dimension but also the emotional and embodied dimensions.
This article addresses the theme of embodied knowledge and awareness/consciousness as
a key for individuals and the human community to develop the sensory and emotional perception
of being part of a greater whole, of relationship as an ontological condition, and
of interconnectedness and interdependence as the basis of life and the universe. Embodied
knowledge is capable of nourishing aspiration and being nourished by it. Aspiration is
needed to guide and to sustain action, and at a point in history like the current time, it is
necessary for humanity to feel “in the flesh” that it is in relationship with and a part of a
greater whole, to become a peaceful, equitable, sustainable community, in harmony with
the Earth
