The Space Renaissance and Spirituality
25 April 2021 @ 8:00 am - 4:00 pm UTC
The webinar “The Space Renaissance and Spirituality” will discuss another, often neglected, primary need of humans: spirituality. Spirituality animated human deep feeelings and culture since the very ancient times of our history on our mother planet, Earth. Spirituality is a feeling that characterizes us, as human beings, and cannot be felt by other sentient but not self-aware and less intelligent species. Spirituality suggests reverence for life and great appreciation for the highest expression of nature: the intelligent life.

Some introductory questions to the panelists.
- Spirituality, and religion, animated human efforts during the the whole human history
- Religions were often used as a sectarian flag, to motivate wars, conquers and ethnic cleansing anti-human campaigns
- However, at the dawn of expansion into outer space, humans feel the need to cultivate spirituality — both as individuals and communities — facing the magnificent mistery of the Universe
- In the same time, a mature open spirituality could be a wonderful synergystic alliedm with science and philosophy, helping to motivate the profund evolutionary impulse to expand Earthly bioma into the Solar System and beyond
- The original meaning of the term Religion, from Latin language, is religere=joining efforts, and can be related to both theist and secular communities
- Should space advocacies include spirituality in their public outreach and discussion?
- If yes, how to avoid this message to be confused with irrational, new ageist and fake metaphysics, so common in the web age?
- Which are the common shared deep humanist concepts and ideals, among some currents, such as Astronautic Humanism, Astronism, Cosmodeism, and some theist and non theist Religions?
- The aim of this discussion shouldn’t be a game among different spiritual currents, but a first effort to share and put together some agreed concepts and believes, for the sake of the space renaissance, a true and urgent well motivated strategy of space settlement
