@RDGStout Thank you for that. Echoes in Raimon Panikkar who embraces a further, planetary aspect with his deft inclusion of complementary Buddhist and Hindu metaphysics. This text strongly resonates with the Bulgakov vision you share. If you can handle Bulgakov... z-library.se/book/23579673/fb81b7/the-cosmotheandric-experience-emerging-religious-consciousness.html

The cosmotheandric principle could be formulated by saying that the divine, the human and the earthly—however we may prefer to call them — are the three irreducible dimensions which constitute the real, i.e., any reality inasmuch as it is real... What this intuition emphasizes is that the three dimensions of real- ity are neither three modes of a monolithic undifferentiated reality, nor three elements of a pluralistic system. There is rather one, though intrinsically threefold, relation which manifests the ultimate consti- tution of reality. Everything that exists, any real being, presents this triune constitution expressed in three dimensions. I am not only saying that everything is directly or indirectly related to everything else: the radical relativity or pratityasamutpada of the buddhist tradition. I am also stressing that this relationship ... flashes forth, ever new and vital, in every spark of the real.
