READING, WRITING

Read 60 seconds in SAPIENS

The author, Yuval Noah Harari, says that when we consider the spiritual aspects of early sapiens (i.e., foragers, or hunter-gatherers, living 60K years ago), we can look at the physical aspects and guess accurately what they were like.  But when it comes to spiritual, we are guessing more.

Animation = animal.  So the SPIRIT that fuels the BODY is somehow connected to ANIMALS?  He also says that most scientists agree that early man believed in the spiritual identity of all things (humans, animals, plants, minerals).

It reminds me of thinking, years ago, that Joseph Smith stated that all living things had a spiritual creation in an earlier life.  I extended it to minerals, and speculated that minerals were lower forms of life that were merely here to obey the laws of Nature/God.  As you move across the spectrum of "things," there were given more and more responsibilities to the entities/elements.  And so when you arrive at humans, you have the most possible responsibilities given to earthly creation.

Who knows if that's right?  I think only the creator can know, since we don't hear from the creator in clear language.  So we have to guess.
