Nihilistic Animism

Animism = Everything that exists, exists for the same reason humans do. In order for anything to exist it has to have a spirit. Everything has a spirit which means everything has bonds, patterns of connection. Harmonious or attuned, and disharmonious or disconnected.

There is an element of corruption in all spirits. Nothing is perfectly harmonious with everything else, and it’s actually not meant to be. We also call corruption, decay, and it’s necessary for the continuation of life. Nihilistic animism is knowing that spiritual relationships also know conflict. So those creepy spirits, they have their place also. Those nightmares do too. Maybe you aren’t comfortable around them, that’s ok, but understand them anyway.

“Whenever you’re in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.” William James (American Philosopher and Psychologist, leader of the philosophical movement of Pragmatism, 1842-1910)
