Re: Mind's Eye Re: Search for meaning

Happens to me all the time too Allan. I also ran right into pantheism by
an offshoot, well my main new discovery was something I haven't read
before (which is a nice surprise) called 'neutral monism' that sounded
very familiar, as does Taoism, panpsychism, animism and the lot. This
eventually (today) lead to something that sounded like a little bit of
everyone (recent comments made), mostly a reflective or loose commentary
about Animism and Personhood but mostly for 'fun' reading:
http://ecoanimism.com/blog/heather-awen/2013-jun-23/animism-personhood

The personhood concept is interesting to me, as I haven't had the
concept to aid my own experiences, need to reflect on what my mind is
doing before becoming attached.
