In this episode, we look at Paleolithic European Animism and its dualism.

as mentioned in our episode on Animacy, European gender nouns are the remnants of an older Animism that once existed in our society.

the end of psychic skills and the belief in integration through empathy.

Freewill is the belief in an internal decision-making process, used in the Abrahamic religions to help you to make moral choices.

Karma disputes Freewill by claiming that instead of our being capable of utilizing Freewill, a lot of our activity is predetermined by outside influences, most noticeably the life we lived prior to our former deaths.

Animism frequently falls into the Karma system, since many believe that consciousnesses we perceive to exist inside physical objects may have been human in the past.

But this isn't a blanket-cover-all belief across all Animism, and so we introduce the Pathway system.

(Incidentally, less dependence upon freewill allows us to live in the moment and be spontaneous, key attributes for an Animist.)

In this Episode we look at how Chinese mythology, Chinese medicine has vague similarities to North American Animism.

We know that humans crossed the land bridge to America 50 thousand years ago and took Animism with them, but the practices in China (Shenism) are Analogue in practice and are more closely related to European Symbolism and Alchemy.

Animism is not just one form of belief; it is many different versions.

In the 1960's Animism took a new form: New Animism.

However, the old classical Animism also took the opportunity to reinvent itself into new forms as a responce to this.

This episode covers the difference in Animism in Europe/Australia/America and explains why these differentiations exist.

Hopefully, its informative enough to influence your own practice.
