Reddit mentions of The Origins and History of Consciousness (Princeton Classics)

>What about atheists or theists that believe in different versions of the divine then you?

Believe in what you want.

>Plenty of gods have demanded human sacrifice in the past.

I'd suggest "The Origins and History of Consciousness" by Erich Neumann

>And at what point does the collection of cells in a womb gain that piece of divinity? For some time it is literally a sperm and egg seperate. Are they divine? Or is it only when they combine? When they get more complicated than a hang nail? More complicated than a bug? When it can feel or has a heart? Is it 9k to abort as long as it hasn't reached that divinity yet? If not, is it ok to kill bugs or weeds in your lawn?

All is divine, all is One. That said, there is a cycle of life and death that is divinely ordered that we should partake in. However, we should approach that with divinity as well.

What does it mean to raise animals with their divinity in mind? I suspect it looks a lot more like Joe Saladin and his farming techniques than it does big agra. Recognizing the divinity in all this does not mean that everything must be treated like it is self-conscious (something humans have that animals don't). There is a reason humanity is described as 'in the image of God' and dogs are not... even if our essence is all One.
