Humans are not mere the victims of disasters whilst in many instances, human actions contribute to hazardous processes and to disaster outcomes. Since man and nature are interconnected at all scales of distance, and at all times, any change in one has the potential to affect the other. A complicated mix of human and natural circumstances exists to increase human vulnerability and, in some cases ‘apocalyptic’ simply highlight a deeper crisis for mankind. Today, the increasing frequency of reported disasters such as cyclones and floods coinciding with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic compound these challenges of imbalances in relationships and their interactions. When disasters can often be attributed almost in their entirety to actions of human, there is nothing natural about them and is outcome of human choices made consciously and unconsciously for greater profits. In this process we human loose much of our ability to predict outcomes and this would eliminate accountability and true moral choice in general and spiritual in particular. In this setting, any little gaffe creates havoc and reminds that this world is not in order and there is something immoral. Even though the cause of a death and misery remain unknown, ethical character is authentic mode to carry on is sometimes a lesson learned in wake of disaster. The contributions of many scientists transformed the worldview of an organic and spiritual world to mechanistic and non-spiritual world during the 16th and 17th centuries and explore the present research paper explores the potential of quantum physics as a source of insight to foster deep sustainability transformations towards disaster.
