Yeah, there is definitely a relationship between thoughts and the body. I remember hearing about PNI in college, I'll have to look into it sometime.

Wow, my own spirituality is ending up in such a different place I totally forgot that this end of the spectrum existed.

Soft materialism. Science can explain everything. I feel that my spiritual yearnings are part of my evolutionary heritage, and so interacting with the Divine is kind of like wiggling a vestigial organ, and fulfills a biological need. I still identify as Wiccan, and I practice some weird kind of post-hermetic ceremonial magic. It all ties in pretty strongly with my artmaking, which I like to pretend is a divine act of creation and you can probably throw in something about True Will in there if you cared to.

I'm pretty much an atheist but I really love immersing myself in high ritual. I like to think of myself as a romantic rationalist.
