“All things are full of deities”
Tales of Milieu
Introduction
Animism is the traditional belief of humanity, even modern humans ridiculously a it. If Idealism, even being a true metaphysics its ridiculed, animism has being ridiculed even between contemporary idealists who think all be "a ideal thing" the philosophy but forgotten about the application about it, differently to the idealists of the past like from Platonism and Buddhism or Hinduism, who feel the Will essence of the World as its flow of feelings even to the "inanimate objects". Than, "inanimate objects" are actually a it that its said by modern peoples?
Perennial Animism
When western idealism has the logos or intellect as its main special feature, from Arthur Schopenhauer to Giovanni Gentile, the Eastern Idealism it is mainly a meditative methodology that trought it teaches about the the Existence that is Consciousness. However, traditionally all mythological religions believed that the world its full of sprits being make of it, when everthing are manifestation of the Mind from a god like the Aztec Teotl , the hindu Brahman or the greek Chaos ( understand originally as the primordial void), as manifestations of the Will. It isn't thinked like the western idealism or meditate as eastern, but feel, was experienced the Universal Will behind all the nature being everything live, as it is done trought psychedelics. But the times changed to worst and humanity forgotten Animism in the Modern age when believing in the superstition of the materialism.
Schopenhauerian Idealism
Arthur Schopenhayer, a main philosopher from the western german idealism based at the thought, did his metapyhsical worldview improving the Kantian Epistemology that he used as a base. Schopenhaurianism it is the solution to kantianism about the Thing in Itself.
Behind the Screen of the Perception from the Subject where is the physicallity, in other worlds that is what the eyes seen and the ear hears, the hands touch and the noise smell like forests, cities and galaxies, what exist in itself it is the Will of the Subject, his non perceptive feelings, emotions and thoughts as fear, love and sadness, that not can be seeing or hearded or touched because are non physical experiences feel. Therefore, the World in his interior essence it is the Will as a flow of non perceptive feelings, emotions and thoughts and its exterior appearence is the physically like forests, cities and galaxies.
To Schopenhauer, the World is Will and Representation, being that we don't know the World as it is in itself, like from a transparent windows observe a something, but he the world instead it is represented or simulated to ours humans minds trought the physically, the way that the Will show's a itself to human observation. Its like a pilot of airplane that fly not trought seeing the transparent windows because if he do it its all fall, but using a painel of the airplane that with radars and these things represent or simulate the thing in itself of the objective world as the storm trought this painel what he uses a it to the fly of the airplane.
The Representation it is the way that the Will shows a itself to observation, like our human observation, and the Will it is the thing in itself, independent of observation. At the End the Representation or Physicallity its meraly a special form of the Will, being all a Universal Will of the World. When we observe the feelings, emotions and thoughts of the objective Will of the World what them are the true essence of the reality, to us them show a itself as galaxies, forests and cities, a representation or simulation of these non perceptive feelings. Instead, when don't are observed the Will then are simply non perceptive feelings feel.
The Will its the subterranean essence of the World as a flow of non perceptive feelings or the face behind a Mask, being the Representation the exterior appearance of the Will or the Mask, as the physically of forests, cities and galaxies.
But all is the same universal will as the way that the Will shows a itself to human observation. Using a racialist example, race at essence it is Will as a way of think and create culture of a people, for example slavs, but when we observe the wil inner essence of the race to us it is represented as the biological race, like the corp, brain, skin color and genetics from the slavs. Therefore the biological race it is the exterior appearance of the inner essence of the race as the Will, the mod of think and creat culture of a folk, his personality.
Schopenhaurian Animism, what is and why
The mix of both Schopenhaurian and Animism to westerns, even idealists like Bernardo Kastrup, look weird.
The arguments useds against animism has its resumy like "inanimate objects not look as living things, dont have the behaviour of the animate things so them are not living or sentient." Bernardo Kastrup himself did this argument in his article "universal consciousness", the main idealist of our contemporary time beyond Donald Hoffman. But he confused like a materialist, what is very ironic, the representation as the thing in itself to the knowing of the exterior physically behaviour to know if a thing is living or no, when the true essence of the Reality its the Will, the feel. So, us knows if a thing its living or no trought feel them, and mystical experiences demonstrate that alleged "inanimate things" actually has a life and are sentient, like the Sun and the Moon.
Refuted the critic and showed the proof of the animism, we ought understand what is animism trought a Schopenhaurian basis. The inner essence of the World, therefore behind the Sun exist the emotions and feelings of the World that is represented as the perceptive Sun, and the same to the moon or stars at general, even planets. What mystical experiences shows that they can communicate whith the peoples trought a feeling communication represented with symbols.
But the animism its real even to weird things, as i it will be explained at the next section.
Animism behind diary things
A Symbol as the exterior appearance to the inner will essence of the Greed.
Money it is a living being? Why peoples say about the "energy of the money," in others worlds its spirit? Because it is living, as a desire feels by the Will of the World that is represented as the physical money as its exterior appearence to the inner spirit or will essence.
Deities and demons are actually universal emotions of the Universal Will at essence, represented trought perceptive symbols. In others words, the essence of a deity or a demon it his non perceptive will feel by us humans, as the thing in itself, and when we observe the Will, to us it is represented as what the eyes see, the hands touch and the ears heard. For example, Aphrodite it is the love, sexuality and eroticism in itself, feelings that us don't can see with our eyes, heard with our ears or touched with our hands because them are non physical, but only feel, this is the Aphrodite in itself as the universal romantic love of the Will of the World. But when we observe with our eyes a this goodness, to us its represented as a beautiful woman, and to our hands can touches his body, and our noise can smell his good smell.
Based act it that the money has a spiritual essence as a emotion of the Cosmos. But this essence, how it is feel? Greed, it is this universal emotion of the Universe behind its extrinsic appearance or mask that is the money. This emotion organized as the universal personality greedy from the Will of World, has his own think and wishs, its living like everthing. When peoples are obsessed with money, in fact they are meraly food to this bad universal emotion of the Cosmos hidind behind his mask that is the money called Mammon, who devoure them as a real sentient being as Will.
"Don't worry, I'll make you so poor that the only thing you'll have is money. MAMMON CORRUPTING A HUMAN."
Fuck capitalism as a disgusting worship to the demon Mammon.
So, this is a little example talking about the mammon will essence, a will of a universal demon sentient and real, behind the physical money. So beyond this mundane example what where in the universal Will of the World hiding behind these everyday normal beings to the "inanimate objects" that in fact don't are inanimate but living and sentient Will's of mystical beings?
Schopenhauer Idealism and Shamanism
Schopenhaurian Idealism explaine the shamanick indigenous experience who say the forest be a Great Spirit as a Senscient thing. Behind an Forest, what exist in itself it is the Will inner essence of the all forest as a whole spiritul thing that has his own wishes and thinks, with the spirits of the forest being his emotions and thought. Give sense to mystical psychedelic experiences as manifestation of the Will of the World trought symbols, proofing the shamanick religion be correct.
Conclusion
Understand Schopenhauerianism and you will understand the mysticism of the reality. The World its a Universal Mystical Will at essence and not a superstitious tedious materialist illusion, that is meraly the exterior appearance or mask of the Will inner essence of the Reality. Animism its understand as a rational thing about everything be living, experimented by mysticals and demonstrated as true trought the Intellect of the Schopenhauerian Metaphysics.
