Tit us to in whatis the soul, truth and love, and what forces are slept in the soul," explains pacifist activist Mahatma Gandht , arguing that “an even moze essential part of education should teaching child to win the battle of life to hatred with love, falsehood with truth, and violence with his own suffering” In the educational philosophy of Gandhiji, love is a feeling that fights against violence to be a law of truth and life. What is the role af Jove in the future we want? SDG have an important sole in our history because the human race has had a profound impact on the climate and environment of the Earth. They represent our last opportunity to avoid ecological extinction and points of ao retuen in the new geological era we have entered - the Antheopacene. This period is characterized for the great human footpeint on Earth, causing a huge extinction and dramatic enviconmental degradation. Reflecting on challenges concerning tke SDG carries many questions and approaches. ‘Therefore, new epistemological contributions are required to understand our historical context. 1 believe that emerging global citizenship must learn to contextualize human history, life history, history of Earth, and the history of the universe from transdisciplinary methadological approaches. This "Big History" iovolves. examining the multidimensional identity of the emerging planetary citizenship through a co: approach that views the complexity of the human condition as an individual-society-species: _cantextualizing cosmo-biologically the human species to understand we all are ontologically equal beings (with the same molecular composition of DNA): with a rich cultural and spiritual divessity that characterizes every society in terms of their phenomenological and hermeneutical historical contest; and with jotivations, and dreams radically condition is, mozeaver, interconnected in the cyber-space-time through mobile devices in its virtual identity Condition, In the paradigm af Cosmndernity , scientific ‘knowledge of an external physical universe converges with the spiritual knowledge of an inner emotional universe. “Our transdisciplinary education experience for sustainability includes the spiritual dimension a8 core for creating relevant knowledge within. ‘out societies, at local and global levels," explains anthropologist and economist Cristina Nihez . This means that educational success can not be reduced tm a simple quantification cersied. out by standardized tests of reading, science ‘or mathematics, as happens with PISA tests developed by the OECD, ‘The real educational success. lies in sundersta: that studeer's have spiritual, emotional, and psychosomatic experiences ‘between body and mind with the intention to develop deep connections with other people, with life, with nature, and with the cosmes. ‘This educational vision of humen training ts defended by neurologist Antoni Damasio » who considers: “it is necessary that political and educational leaders come to understand ‘how important is the knowledige about emation, and feeling because many of the reactions we ‘consider pathological have to do with emotions, smalnly with social emotions, and with the ease that social conflicts are triggered." This kind ‘of emotional education seems to be a fertile ‘end prosperous path that leads us to the heart ‘of an education that prepares us to achieve sustainable development. This cosmodern consciousness that contextustizes our human conditian in 4 multidimensional wey supposes a true educational transformative tool to promote anew leach eat ae y Ser tort aN eteliang aT vec At this sense, lave is the most powerful energy to transform our world-society. For this reason, we have to implemem cosmodern vision in all pedagogical contexts cof schools and universities to strengthen the links between education and sustainability. The cosmodern mindset promotes the creatioa of new socio-economic models with planetary character to feel-think-act in harmony with co-evolutionary processes of nature, SDC are a meeting point between the societies called “primitive” and the so-called “hyper- technological” because they need transnational agreements between all natioas and countries. ‘A symbiotic relationship is required ta achieve all SDG” targets by 2030. ‘Then, we have to combine a framework af convergence between scientific knowledge that our outer physical universe offers us, with the spiritual wisdom. ‘of the inner emotional universe of mankind. According to Niliez, the ancient philosophical traditions of indigenous peoples show us that psychosomatic experiences between the body and the mind help us to establish and develap sacred connections between Nature and Life — promoting sustainable human hablts with the envirmament. A good contemporary example that secks to rescue such muillenary knowledge and wisdom of the Aboriginal peoples of ‘Australia is the permaculture created by the scientific David Holmgren . In conclusion, SOG educational strategies of Action Framework for 2030 should seriously reflect on the possibility to build a great human. family through a cosmodern consciousness that identifies our human condition within
