(with instructions on what all the component parts of a circle mean).

How American Animisms came into being and how they differ from other models.

This is our opportunity to compare this to Animisms that are occurring in Asia, specifically, dharmic animism, community animisms (people who live with leopards, take tigers as their grandfathers),

We compare antagonistic dualisms to homogenous animisms, the creation of cosmic order, and how this order flows through the landscape to create personhood (rather than relying on analogisms sense of otherness).

Firstly, it's had more contact with Shamanism, leading from duality to triadic relationships.

Secondly, the personhood is darker, less related to daughter culture, due to the climate.

Thirdly, the management of the landscape has changed, meaning that these people have a different relationship to the environment when compared to hunter-gatherers, or a pastoral community.

this podcast looks at the mythology of the tree of life and the cosmic egg, these might be universal themes across many animistic groups, but Baltic animism makes them hang slightly differently.

this is a podcast about how space, and a multi-dimensional reality compares to ingratiation with a goddess.

Other dualities also exist, these are based up homeostasis (sometimes known as the divine twins), but in which humanity doesn't automatically become adopted in a familial manner or join a hero's pathway.

as mentioned in our episode on Animacy, European gender nouns are the remnants of an older Animism that once existed in our society.

but how does this older Animism hold up against our modern beliefs.

How has shamanism helped to alter Duality in the west

What is the difference between a dualistic and tertiary system (looking at alternative realms)

where in the world do we find Dualism?

How language conventions inform our understanding about the type of Animism that was practiced in the past.

The creation of duality and the goddess culture.

the loss of belief in spirit forms and the growth of belief in a central universal force.

the end of psychic skills and the belief in integration through empathy.

Karma disputes Freewill by claiming that instead of our being capable of utilizing Freewill, a lot of our activity is predetermined by outside influences, most noticeably the life we lived prior to our former deaths.

Animism frequently falls into the Karma system, since many believe that consciousnesses we perceive to exist inside physical objects may have been human in the past.

But this isn't a blanket-cover-all belief across all Animism, and so we introduce the Pathway system.

(Incidentally, less dependence upon freewill allows us to live in the moment and be spontaneous, key attributes for an Animist.)

We know that humans crossed the land bridge to America 50 thousand years ago and took Animism with them, but the practices in China (Shenism) are Analogue in practice and are more closely related to European Symbolism and Alchemy.

Animism is not just one form of belief; it is many different versions.

However, the old classical Animism also took the opportunity to reinvent itself into new forms as a responce to this.

This episode covers the difference in Animism in Europe/Australia/America and explains why these differentiations exist.

Hopefully, its informative enough to influence your own practice.

(Continuing on from our discussion on Cartian dualism).

This is a recap session, but also an excellent starting point for people who are new to Animism or Animistic philosophy, it covers Cartian philosophy, "I think therefore I am", and explains how this pro-Abrahamic religion type of philosophy is completely wrong for Animists.

Utilizing the power of wells for healing is possibly a later Christian tradition based upon the concept of baptism, Vitalism and holy reliquaries. (something we examine, just to rule it out as being non-animistic)

yet, Water itself has Animistic qualities, wells run dry, then water reappears later, illustrating the turning of the season, the ending of drought and the return to fertility.

Yet also, Animism in modern media is creating new forms of Animism that counter Modernism and Industrialization.

Also contains a small amount of information on Holy water, blessed salt, holy landscapes.

80% of indigenous tribal Animists live with the concept of a retracted God, where deity is no longer actively running the world (has no omnipotence/ Omnipresence) is dormant or gone.

This episode ties into the concept of Naturism (that the world runs entirely by causality (cause and effect)),

It ties into Cartian Philosophies about the duality of nature.

If your god is redacted, what happens to the concept of free-will and heavenly ascension? what morality are we working towards?

Both Animism and Naturism utilize immediacy, and so we look vaguely towards predetermination.

(Shelly, Lovecraft and Poe)

Vitalism promotes supernatural forces which follow human bidding, but this is only because these Animistic forces follow a form of morality that is very similar to human behaviors.

There should be no duality between physicality and consciousness that Cartian philosophy suggest, (for the purposes of environmentalism, animal welfare and general morality).

The growth of Animism has been linked to social action, small people effecting change, the fall of communism and then through these things the protection of indigenous people.

Imperialist agendas are linked to our belief in society and intellect, ideas which Modern Animism is used philosophically to reject.

The synthesis of Animism and Naturism

The types of philosophies Animistic Naturism deny

Sometimes animals are commodities, sometimes Animistic beliefs are represented by specific animal behavior, Sometimes the Animistic values are migratory.

Additionally. there are occasions where we are over familiar with animals, if we treat a dog as our fur baby, can we still consider dogs to be our equal? are we really breaking down the lines of embarkation between humanity and other animal species if we consider pets should become similar to humans?

looking at discerning a way of locating the differences between these approaches.

Social contract vs Vitalism

This discusses paganism, The wee folk, folklore, Vampires and Frankenstein

vs

Spirits as Neighbours and family members.

test question:

Which do Animists believe in?

Objects that have life because they are imbued with energy.

Objects have life because they have a soul.

Objects have life because they have a consciousness.

How do these different ideas contribute to philosophy?

For instance, did you know that only 2/5 of Traditional Animists believe in Gods? only 4/5 believe in an afterlife?

So, whilst the two beliefs are closely related, (4/5 Animists believe in Shamanism), Animism is entirely related to physical phenomenon whilst Shamans believe in alternate realities.

It states how modern Animism is defined when compared to traditional, new or neo-Animism. I.E what exactly the podcast is trying to explain.
