I honor your animism and how your animist expression is fully integrated in your ordinary life. For example, explaining how dino pee got into the water! My kids got the best of my exploring as well. Now they are grown and moved to other bioregions. And also, I enjoy the diversity of your interests and posts. I'm working with Fishbowl to update and spark New Animism Info, and hope to have my own website up by the end of the summer with lots 'o links to blogs like yours. Best wishes, Puny Hello Adam,

]]> Comment on The One Issue of True Religion by Red Raven http://www.animystic.org.uk/2010/04/04/the-one-issue-of-true-religion/comment-page-1/#comment-178 Red Raven Mon, 05 Apr 2010 18:21:19 +0000 http://www.animystic.org.uk/?p=251#comment-178 I think there is a metaphor here. When the realization of what you describe here impacts the individual, you tend to ask yourself why? The rise in both populations and the written media results in a source of potential information unheard of (probably) than at any other time in recorded history. The fact that some seek to promote theories that supplement their own perception of self or cosmological viewpoints is at best, indicative of a freethinking society. As with everything else though, there must be many "dead-ends" for us to navigate and provided the likes of you and me can keep control of our GOMAS glands, then we actually benefit by learning how to better define what is being proposed. The fact that there is so much of this stuff out there makes one consider if the reason that this is so, is to provide the individual with many examples with which to better develop this skill of definition, much like muscle memory practiced by athletes. (GOMAS= Grumpy Old Man Syndrome :)) RR I think there is a metaphor here. When the realization of what you describe here impacts the individual, you tend to ask yourself why?

In this regard I am a happy hypocrite ... or I just draw distinctions as to where grammatical rules need and need not apply. I added the caveat at the top of my post because I am known elsewhere for taking certain people to task for (very) poor grammar in contexts where I believe good grammar to be inmportant (specifically communiques from my local prospective parliamentary candidate for the same party as the current incumbent). When I right short fictional stories, they tend to be metaphors of the <a href="http://www.jasonmahoney.com/metaphor/start.htm" rel="nofollow">NLP</a> variety. Very often, these break conventional grammatical rules delibarately in order to produce specific effects (including embedded suggestion etc). I can't claim that for this story, but I am generally more than happy to see all and any rules broken if they broken with intent to facilitate communication :-) Hi RR… In this regard I am a happy hypocrite … or I just draw distinctions as to where grammatical rules need and need not apply.

Because we know that the brain is rebuilt every so often, these pathways have to be reformed. How the renewal processes do this without having to go through those experiences again, is a question that has fascinated me for some time. Is it possible that different experiences are manifested differently or is the route for manifesting experiences a standard procedure that varies little? I suspect the former and not the latter and if this is the case, then the role of religion may fall into the differing manifestations route.
