Just like plants can be considered a living organism, the same can be said about the Earth. This does not mean any kind of "consciousness" in the sense that we have it, but I do believe the Earth is alive in a sense.

Please, no more debates on the ethical treatment of rocks. One was more than enough.

Can the Earth itself be alive? This is an interesting question.

The Earth itself is, in the present scientific sense, inanimate. Meaning it is of the material. But there are certain aspects about it, in the occult sense, that suggest it is of a more complex nature. When one is fully open psychically they can see an aura around things, power lines, plants, animals and themselves etc. This indicates that there is more to just the physical stone that you pick up.

If you look at the big picture, then the Earth is just a planet in a solar system, in a galaxy, in a universe. But life had to start somewhere? Did life originate here? Did it descend from another alternate universe or a more higher level dimensionally?

Most scientists now acknowledge that the big bang is not the answer, but unfortunately, they have nothing else to replace it, so it suffices as the only theory in the academic world for the moment.

We, as Spiritual Satanists, believe the universe is eternal -- without beginning or end -- with an infinite consciousness. This is connected to with the rising of the serpent with meditation (pranayama) the nadis (pingala, ida) merging as the sushumna in the 6th chakra and ascending to the crown chakra sahasrara (1000 lotus petals) and attaining universal consciousness.

Attain this and I think you will have your answer.

HAIL SATAN FOREVER

Many thanks for the reply. =)

I don't think it is alive. I think it is akin to a house, being made of organic matter but not alive. Maybe it is a life-form that has a distinct and unique type of energy? (at least in this galaxy)
