Very few Animists are Atheists!

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.

In this podcast we look at how Supernatural Animism is used as a literary device, specifically, Dark Animism and horror, Moral vitalism and Disney.

(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.

In this podcast we look at how Animism denies Descartes and Rousseau philosophy.

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.

This is the shortest podcast ever, looking at the similarities between Animism and Naturism,

The synthesis of Animism and Naturism

The types of philosophies Animistic Naturism deny

In theory, an Animist believes that all objects have a soul, but there are some folk religions where there are instances that disregard this belief for logistic reasons.

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?

From Spinoza to Descartes, how Animism has philosophically influenced our ideas of morality, heaven,

In this podcast we look at all forms of animism, social relations, vitalism. panpsychism, panspiritism, Hylozoism and new animism.

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

In this podcast we describe two forms of Animism,

Social contract vs Vitalism

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

vs

Spirits as Neighbours and family members.

If you believe that an inorganic substance has life, what would this imply for human morality?

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?

In this podcast we discuss the differences between Animism and Shamanism.

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.

This is the latest introduction to Modern Animism; it explains what exactly the podcast Modern Animism is actively attempting to cover.

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.

In this podcast we look at a third theory concerning the emergence of human intellect - Planetary Ascension.

This podcast covers New Animism, Gaianism and the intervention of a new Axial Age

4.7 Altered Consciousness

Everything on Altered Consciousness has been building to this!

Podcast included the creation of religion, why religion is necessary, the reason why God and Heaven were conceived, why we first became evolved as humans, the use of hallucinogenic substances.

Returning back around to quantum reality, anthropoid theory.

What is in our brain that makes consciousness so important to the human species!

4.6 Altered Consciousness

A podcast looking at the value of the spirit spouse,

We look at why spirit spouses are demonized,

How they differ from Animal Spirits in the purpose and utility.

Different types of spirit spouse, androgyny, and two-spirit shamanism.

4.5 Altered Consciousness

In this episode we look at spirit animals, from Hawaii. Inuit, Sami, first peoples, Russian Bu perspectives.

traditional spirit animal work is nothing like the new age, spirit animal, shamanic workshop.

Spirit animals' main purpose is to promote ancestor worship, to help us look back at our community and to help us engage with our ancestral lands.

4.4 Altered Consciousness

In this podcast we look at how Quantum entanglement and superposition has given us the gift of dream realities.

also covering altruism theory and its friend anthropoid theory, Terry Pratchett's Disk World elephants, Gods, and the creation of the universe.

4.3 Altered Consciousness

In this podcast I do a very convoluted talk on consciousness and trance,

What exactly are we attempting to achieve, looking at consciousness and alternate universe theory, altruism theory and all those other big topics that differentiate modern animists from traditional animists.

4.2 Altered Consciousness

Here's an overview of the Animistic skill of Transcendental Ecstasy.

referring back to my last podcast on the appropriation of Sexual Ecstasy by Daoism, and a starting reference point to learning the Animistic skill of Journeying

4.1 Altered Consciousness

In this podcast we look back at more evidence from the Mu culture.

pottery pieces illustrate early Chi Kung / Tai Chi/ Taoist movements. but the older instruction promotes an altered state of consciousness through sexual ecstasy.

In this episode I describe those ritual magic activities.

but also look to the death of the Goddess again, looking at the repression of women's sexuality.

Are the Mu scripts suggesting that Taoist movement are a way for men to recreate the sensation experienced by women during sex?
