I have been thinking (and feeling) a lot lately about something that in German is called Der Weltgeist, the world spirit/mind. Its what directly influenced the Avatar movies from which the director drew his inspiration for the film. This planet is literally alive. They have found microorganisms in volcanoes, deep inside mountains, high up in the air. It thickly embedded with organisms that you cannot so easily say this is dead and this is alive. Abiogenesis implies how we literally arose out of this Earth, just think of the way we filter the air, drink the water.. Those ancient philosophers believing we were made of the elements were not far off at all, even if our knowledge of our exact constitutes has refined over time. Every tribal culture had some form of Animism. I wonder were that reverence and feeling, that original spark of which all spirituality and religion has emerged from. Of course a secular person would say that the world was so complex to us that we had to invent a maker to explain it, and this might be true. But I am not talking about the concept of God. I am talking about the deep profound Peak experience we can achieve. Forget isms shamanism, animism etc, that is all intellectual conceptualization. To feel the Welt Geist is a direct experience, it must be experienced. Just imagine a scene maybe 60 000 years back in time, some hunter gatherers walking across the Savannah. Everywhere around them beautiful animals of all shapes and forms, the sky in a incredibly amazing orange hue. On a planet located in an infinite Universe. Imagine as their consciousness, these billions of self organized cells, crystallized. Imagine with our refined scientific knowledge we know how some of this has come about, and that knowledge is just amazing. Evolution, abiogenesis, the incredible creativity we can see everywhere. Its so obvious, in deep meditative experiences, or under the influence of Entheogens, as you can observe the energy flow currents that underlie everything as you enter more refined raw processing brain states. Or out in Nature, I had some of my most profound spiritual experiences was trekking on mountains or going deep into forests. To feel the welt geist is not a concept or made up, it is a feeling so strong, so pure, as when you know somebody genuinely loves you, Our secular disenchanted way of perceiving the world does immense damage to this planet, its like we lost out direct hotline, our ability to feel and be in tune with a certain vibration or state of perceiving. Millions of computers connect together to create the Internet, what about billions of beings? After all, all beings today are related and arose from a common ancestor. We have to see the big picture, reclaim our lost heritage.
