Druid Cosmology

What evolves is the nature of change.  Change becomes more efficient to effect still more changes.  This comes from the old ethical saying:  I AM I: Choose that which gives thee most choice.  That is why, in the Druid cosmology, the meta-universe (the idea of the universe of all universes---the Mother Universe) is considered to be conscious, as there is an in-built inclination within Nature to change and to get even better at this task for changing. The better the methodology is for the process of change, the greater is the level of consciousness that the meta-universe possesses.  To phrase this concept somewhat more clearly: The World makes its Self through Change.  It creates its Self.

The Dreaming Worlds

Time is a human invention.  It doesn't exist in reality.  What does exist in reality is change and those many intervals between changes that can be perceived.  Not all intervals can be perceived because of limitations of our senses.  If we consider the intervals as spaces, as being places between changes; it's exactly the tempo of the intervals that allow us to perceive that a change has taken place.  If the tempo is too fast, we can't perceive it.  If it's too slow, we can't perceive it either.  We are made to perceive within a certain severely limited tempo.  It is this tempo that we call time. Because it's a tempo, we can measure it and this act of its measurement, all by itself, causes changes to happen and to occur; changes that can be noticed and commented upon.  All of measurement is a thought process. Measurement is design.  We design the methods for measurement.  When a thing is thought about, the thing is brought into existence in the mind of the thinker of that thought. The thing travels.  It is transported into our mind. The meta-verse, the universe of universes, is conscious in that it contemplates its own existence and each of its many thoughts brings a new universe into existence.  Eventually, each universe shares its own unique thoughts to spawn anew yet other universes:  Worlds dream.

Selfs and Souls

There is a common misinterpretation of the nature of the Soul.  The Soul equals the Self and the Self has many aspects in many dimensions.  One of the problems with those belief systems that profess multiple souls is that the souls are considered sequentially and not simultaneously.  If one thinks of the Self as multiple, many selves co-existing and congruent; if the goal of the belief system is to dissolve the self, the act of attempted dissolution encourages division amongst the various selves that co-exist.  This attempt at dissolution has immediate physical consequences.  Such an attempt is one of the psychic causes of cancer (cancer has many physical non-psychic causes as well of course, but psychic causes have very real disruptive physical cellular consequences).  The objective of any system of belief ought to be salient integration of the selves in other dimensions with the self that is co-existing in this dimension, and never the dissolution of the self in this dimension.  Such an attempt at dissolution is slow suicide.  It literally is a cause of cancer. 

Pan-Psych-Ism

When we speak of pan-psych-ism, we aren't addressing the universe as being some deity, in the sense that all things are divine or are in god, like Spinoza. Not at all. That belief is pan-theism. What we are speaking of is that all things are conscious, and they were always conscious; which is quite different. This Druid belief is neither theistic nor is it atheistic. It is non-theistic. It's quite different; as the belief is evolutionary, and it's possibly revolutionary to those who didn't grow up in it. We think the universe makes itself and is always in the process of re-making itself, and that this making is being done absent an extraneous force or outside intervention of any sort whatsoever. How this process of making is being played out then is what we are concerned with.
