Do any of you feel spirituality is linked to your socialism or vice versa? Do you practice things like meditation or fasting? Do you reject materialism? Is this an ongoing personal development or something you feel you've attained to a degree you're happy with?
Curious peoples thoughts on this.
I also genuinely think we're all the same being, and our differences are largely analagous to the differences between neighboring cells in a fungal colony, or a plant leaf. After a period of psy use that I hope to continue at some point, I came to the unshakable conclusion that you, me, humanity and all life on Earth are all just distant tendrils of the same eternal biosphere. What is a living body but a million intersecting biochemical processes coalescing into a mass of self-regulating tissues? What is an ecosystem but the same thing?
We have no idea where consciousness originates, and our own view of the concept is naturally human-centric. Would we recognize a sentient alien being for what it is? We don't even know how schools of fish move and react in perfect synchronicity. Who's to say that the pine forests and tubeworm-grown geothermal vents of the world don't have some kind of spirit?
Well said comrade! If you havnt read on animism and the over soul you may get something from researching that!
