@this-is-ableism @this-is-saneism

This is kinmisia and ableism, specifically saneism. And perhaps speciesism too?

Your argument mentions past lives so I'm assuming this argument is mostly directed towards spiritualkin and will answer with that in mind.

Now let's get into it

(PT: Now let's get into it)

Thinking you’re an object is really weird…I can understand therians and thinking you have a past life as an animal, but an object??

Bro has never heard of animism and it shows. Animism is the belief that everything has a soul - even plants and inanimate objects. At the very least, animists believe that everything has the POTENTIAL to have a soul.

Here are some resources:

Objects aren’t living, how could you be an object?? Even if it’s a plant, that’s weird.

And here is a reminder to everyone that "it's weird" has never and will never be a good or valid argument on any level whatsoever. Either bring SOURCES or kindly keep quiet about subjects you have no knowledge on.

Even if it’s a plant, that’s weird. Plants don’t have a brain and can’t think like an animal or human does???

Okay... and? Are you saying that it's weird/not valid to identify as a plant because they're somehow "lesser" than fauna? Because that's what it's sounding like you're saying and that's a bit fucked up, to be honest.

Also you mentioned past lives. I don't know why you're trying to get scientific now. Yes spirituality and science overlap in many ways but you brought up reincarnation and I'd like to take this chance to remind you that we have absolutely no scientific evidence for a soul, so I don't know why you brought up past lives and then tried to get scientific with it.

Would also like to say that scientists are pretty up in the air about plant intelligence and sentience. While spiritually speaking, many religions and paths believe in plant sentience. From the dryads of Hellenism to the Fae and nature spirits of Druidry. From Jains respecting plants as sensing creatures to even Native American spiritualists that work with the spirits and wisdom that plants and even object can give us.

You aren’t an object or a plant, that’s just being delusional?? I genuinely don’t understand how that’s possible.

जैनी मूर्ति पूजा में विश्वास रखते हैं। ये अपने तीर्थकंर को ही प्रभु मानते हैं,उन्हीं की मूर्ति मंदिरों में रखते हैं। जबकि मूर्ति पूजा का विधान किसी भी सद्ग्रंथ में नहीं है। शास्त्र अनुकूल साधना को जानने के लिए देखिए
