"holistic harmony" comes to mind.

  • holistic - "emphasizing the importance of the whole and the interdependence of its parts." TFD
  • harmony - "a pleasing combination or arrangement of different things" MW

A term also used by Confucius, but here I refer to the stoical view of life and death of ancient Greek phylosophers, that we are all part of the universe, we are born from it and when we die we join it again. The earth, and all living beings are only one thing.

  • The universe itself is god and the universal outpouring of its soul; it is this same world's guiding principle, operating in mind and reason, together with the common nature of things and the totality that embraces all existence; then the foreordained might and necessity of the future; then fire and the principle of aether; then those elements whose natural state is one of flux and transition, such as water, earth, and air; then the sun, the moon, the stars; and the universal existence in which all things are contained. —Chrysippus, in Cicero, De Natura Deorum, i.39
  • Everything is subject to the laws of Fate, for the Universe acts according to its own nature, and the nature of the passive matter it governs. The souls of people and animals are emanations from this primordial fire, and are, likewise, subject to Fate: Constantly regard the universe as one living being, having one substance and one soul; and observe how all things have reference to one perception, the perception of this one living being; and how all things act with one movement; and how all things are the cooperating causes of all things that exist; observe too the continuous spinning of the thread and the structure of the web. —Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, iv. 40 from Wikipedia
