1. Everything is connected. Literally. What happens to you affects me. What happens to me affects the trees. What happens to the trees affects you. What happens between the worlds affects them all. This is the animating principal behind all magic.
2. Divinity is immanent, embodied within the world, contained within you, larger than you can ever be.
3. The Earth is our Mother.
4. There is no duality. There is no light over dark, or life over death, or man over woman.
5. All acts of love and pleasure are rituals of the Goddess.
6. It's all real. It's all metaphor. There's always more.
7. The noosphere exists and grows daily.
I have no idea why there are no comments yet, because these are pefectly excellent principles. We really don't need anything more.

ReplyDeleteWiki says: The noosphere can be seen as the "sphere of human thought" being derived from the Greek νους ("nous") meaning "mind" in the style of "atmosphere" and "biosphere". In the original theory of Vernadsky, the noosphere is the third in a succession of phases of development of the Earth, after the geosphere (inanimate matter) and the biosphere (biological life). Just as the emergence of life fundamentally transformed the geosphere, the emergence of human cognition fundamentally transforms the biosphere. In contrast to the conceptions of the Gaia theorists, or the promoters of cyberspace, Vernadsky's noosphere emerges at the point where humankind, through the mastery of nuclear processes, begins to create resources through the transmutation of elements.
The word is also sometimes used to refer to a transhuman consciousness emerging from the interactions of human minds. This is the view proposed by the theologian Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, who added that the noosphere is evolving towards an ever greater integration, culminating in the Omega Point—which he saw as the ultimate goal of history. The noosphere concept of 'unification' was elaborated in popular science fiction by Julian May in the Galactic Milieu Series.
