Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the Body without Organs and Guattari's "Three Ecologies," the author proposes a Buddhist-inspired becoming-emptiness as the condition for other becomings, following Simondon's logic of desubjectification. The notion of mandala meets that of plateau, and a humorous emptiness, aware of impermanence, generates an epistemology of emptiness relevant to environmental studies and a basis for intercultural studies that surpasses hypothetical-deductive or ancestral regional epistemologies. The concept of arborescence, previously opposed by Deleuze and Guattari, is revisited through recent genetic studies and Ayahuasca shamanic experiences. This leads to institutional interventions and environmental practices with transversal, transcultural, and spiritual content, inspired by sociopoetics and a culture of peace based on an instituting dialogue among the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms.
