The Cosmic Mind and Civilizational Survival: Cosmology, Power, and Strategic Culture in the Indonesian Archipelago
This article explores how cosmology functions as the deep foundation of power, territorial consciousness, and civilizational survival. Drawing from The Cosmic Mind, it examines Indonesian cosmology as a living knowledge system shaping strategic culture, sovereignty, and collective identity. Beyond material definitions of national defense, this work argues that civilizations are sustained by shared metaphysical imagination and civilizational narratives. Through the lens of Nusantara cosmological traditions, the article offers a new framework for understanding resilience, identity formation, and the future of civilizational continuity in an era of global uncertainty and rapid transformation.
