| Summary: | Connectedness is a concept that can be characterised as personal, cultural-contextual and teleological. By personal, it refers to the relationship in the descending scope directed at the attainment of mindfulness. By cultural-contextual, it points to the encounter in the extending scope embracing the other creations in the universe, including the fellow human beings, by means of creative imagination in order to reach self-disclosure. By teleological, it brings in the ascending scope aimed at the spiritual awareness of the Ultimate Being for achieving self-identification in support of self and social transformation. Those characters of connectedness are noticeable through the interdisciplinary study that is elaborated on the thoughts of Suryomentaram, Ibn ‘Arabī and de Chardin. Through their views, one could come out of the self-centred tendencies and arrive at the self-abnegation by developing the self-expansiveness, in such a way that one becomes aware of the sense of connectedness with the self, the other creations in the universe and the Ultimate Being. Such an awareness will open the horizons to the attainment of the transcendental values that can become the basis for ‘meaning making’ and serve as a framework in responding to various problems, including the COVID-19 pandemic. |
