They are kind of freaky. In the long ago when I used to hunt, they'd be everywhere until I opened the trunk of the car to get the shotgun and then you couldn't find one.
I've read that everything has consciousness. A plant, the Venus flytrap, is aware of bugs and aware that they can derive nutrition from them. It lacks a nose to smell them with or eyes to see them with, so it must sense them by touch.The octopus has tremendous camouflage skills, is aware of it's predators and what to morph into when that predator is nearby.
Crows can remember faces, there was a study in the last few years that shows that this is even actually hereditary. Say a crow lives in a block in a city and there is a man that throws stones at it. Well the crow will recognize that man as a threat and will pass that knowledge down to its offspring without them ever having experienced the man throwing the stones, they will know who it is.
I treat belief as a psychological tool. I suspend disbelief for long enough to achieve the emotional benefits of spiritual practice, although I am an atheist. I experiment with ritual magick, the occult, and drugs in order to manipulate my psychology to my own benefit. It's been helpful in reducing my anxiety and improving my ability to set goals.
