Animism is the religious belief that nothing is truly inanimate, but that all objects, places, and creatures are infused with spirit and purpose; possessing a distinct spiritual essence.

Reflections

"Science, the fruit of objectivity—a 'new and unique source of truth'—utterly confounds animism. [...] We accept the power and gifts science has brought us, but our refusal to accept its full philosophical consequences leaves us living a lie." ~ Charles Eisenstein[2]
