Description

For 98% of human history — over 10,000 generations — our ancestors lived, breathed, and interacted with a world that they saw and felt to be animate — imbued with life force, inhabited by and permeated with beings with which we exist in ongoing relation. This animate vision was the water in which we swam, it was consciousness in its natural dwelling place, the normative way of seeing the world and our place in it. It wasn’t a theory, a philosophy, or an idea. It wasn’t, actually, an "-ism." It was direct, felt experience. It was, simply, how things were. Which is why it has been commonly understood across the entire world for all of time. In this musically reimagined reissue of a classic episode of The Emerald, we explore how foundational the animate worldview is to the human experience and to human consciousness, and what we lose when it starts to fade. Listen on a good sound system when you have time to devote your full attention.

We live in an Animate World Anima Mundi yet our society and its culture created a religion called Science that disallows our experiencing life as an experience with life and death and rebirth as an experience of Anima Mundi...The Ensouled World communicates with us through our senses, feelings, intuition, and intellect yet we chatise our selves for seekings forms of speech that shape our communication with the Soul and Spirit of Life on Earth as our experience with Kosmos; these words free us..
