We're made up of the elements ( mostly carbon and water), elements are supposedly "dead things" according to many; yet here we are, conscious, experiencing emotions, thoughts, and living as we know how. There is something alive about everything, most have been taught to ignore or deny it.

That's been my experience. I assume that it's simply the best way to communicate to humans. In a form that we can recognize while still manifesting their unique energy.

Well, you may or may not be descended from vikings, it was really an occupational title and not a racial nor ethnic identity ( essentially Scandinavian pirates, explorers, or traders depending upon when and where they were active). I hope that helps.

I think much the same as you do regarding this subject. I suspect that many scholars become stuck in their theories due to the influence of abrahamism on the early scholarly forms of study. A singular, objective, and absolute viewpoint fanatically argued is the hallmark of scholars trapped in this type of thinking. The animistic notion of a spiritual essence or consciousness that can be expressed in natural forces, physiological processes, or in visions as it's human archetype; just seems more authentic than the one dimensional viewpoint promoted by ancestral enemies who sought to convert pagans by running a shameful straw man propaganda campaign on a very deep spiritual practice.

The belt also makes me think of the Japanese notion of the hara where your life force or ki is stored. A striking similarity really.

@tatumergo3931 oh yeah, it exists in many forms and cultures. When you look at the name megingjord (spelling might be off) it references megin, the internal energy comparable to ki in Japanese, chi in Chinese, prana in sanskrit, pneuma in Greek; it is something of a recognized phenomenon in multiple cultures.

@tatumergo3931 the center of gravity (depending upon one's position) for a human being is roughly an inch below the naval, the hara according to the Japanese. It is a fairly fun subject, and finding the right balance in regards to explaining it beyond pseudo science or being limited to strict interpretation of those in the scientific community is necessary.
