Thanks, I do have more questions.
I think I'm understanding that the window you are pointing towards is consciousness. I hope that's right as I ask my question with that in mind. What I'm wondering now is how does that work for you as experienced through "panpsychism as a form of neo-animism"? Innwardly, what's going on for you there.
I hope my question makes sense.
Panpsychism asserts that consciousness is some sort of fundamental building block that exists in tiny pieces that can be built up to a level of complexity eventually reaching our own (as its one solution to the hard problem of consciousness); but if we're at one level, it follows that other things are at a different level, maybe not so complex, or maybe not with any clear complexity. However these building blocks might also count for some sort of spiritual agency in nature. In my view, its essentially materialistic while giving a potential viable explanation to how objects may come to possess a spiritual spark. Does that make sense?
Keep in mind this is a very loose working theory and hasn't been put through any deep philosophical rigor, as I am still exploring other questions this one has sort of fallen by the wayside.
