Obligation to all life

As an animist I feel an overwhelming obligation to the practice of animism. The practice of animism is to me the maintenance, establishment and honoring of relationships with life, my fellow humans, and all of the other-than-human-persons that compose that which we come to know as the totality of existence. The practice of animism renews and deepens the sense of obligation to practice animism within the practice itself! The sense of obligation naturally emerges, we find through the practice the necessity of the practice for the over all sense of wellness for the entire ecology of existence. We find that we must relate with respect and honor to life in order for life to continue in a state of wellness, our wellness and our obligation to be well is then perceived through our practice to be interwoven with the wellness of those we have relationships with.

The more one practices as an animist the more one finds there is not one aspect of the totality we do not have an obligation to serve for the benefit of mutual wellness. Through the fulfillment of this obligation we find our selves blessed and blessing all that is around us.

bless and be blessed
