Animism (from Latin anima "soul, life") refers to a set of beliefs that revolve around the existence of non-human "spiritual beings" or similar kinds of embodied principles. The core beliefs of animism are held in common by a diverse group of people, primarily the world's remaining "primitive" tribal peoples and many of the living descendants of tribal peoples previously colonized.
Animism encompasses the beliefs that there is no separation between the spiritual and physical (or material) world, and souls or spirits exist, not only in humans, but also in all other animals, plants, rocks, geographic features such as mountains or rivers, or other entities of the natural environment. Animism may further attribute souls to abstract concepts such as words, true names, or metaphors in mythology. Examples of Animism can be found in forms of Shinto, Serer, Hinduism, Buddhism, Pantheism, Paganism, and Neopaganism.
Throughout European history, philosophers such as Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas, among others, contemplated the possibility that souls exist in animals, plants, and people; however, the currently accepted definition of animism was only developed in the 19th century by Sir Edward Tylor, who created it as "one of anthropology's earliest concepts, if not the first".
Animal resistance to the pistons of the engines in this lie
motors running backwards through these antiquated living motor eyes (lies?)
shadowed distance over flows the entrance to your tired holes and eats inside the extra time into the earliest of crime ...
canceling resistance herding humans sense indifference all allied
extra muscle tatters chewing angels matted matters override
tables for the mating rapes the filling meats for different hate
the simple trial and error mode to execute your inner troll
make it up to miss the point
what is this the role of choice
waiting on the line (life?) forgot in a book told by Godot
(Animal falls down feels life inside?)
