Honestly.

Do you consider Planets living beings? Would you have it feeble to think Planets were alive? Or would you consider it great logic?

Although I cannot avoid being totally biased, I ask this because this morning at 1:14 am as of now, I can feel Mars radiating Energy in large amounts. More than what I'm used to. I cannot fall asleep because of this.

I've always considered planets alive, so this doesn't bother me. But I'm just curious on your opinion of this.

So what do you think?

[Notagh]

Well, it's definitely not alive in the scientific definition.  Whether it is spiritually active is a different question, however.

The question then would be, what is spirituality?  Is our definition of spirituality the true definition of spirituality?  In our perspective it may be, but what if our perspective is wrong?

[Notagh]

but what if our perspective is wrong?

Shifted Perspectives!

The question is "Do you consider planets living beings?"

I'm just going to say this, "I believe them to be as much as a live as we are."

What is being alive?  What if what you believe is incorrect?  What if our definition of alive is incorrect?

but what if our perspective is wrong?

Shifted Perspectives!

What if even then we are wrong?

On a totally unrelated note, you can't touch anything and there is no gravity.

Well what matters most? Scientifically or Spiritually? Deciding one or the other would make your descision on what you would think the Earth a living being or not. No need to go any deeper than that, I think. Atleast I hope.

You still have to define what scientific and spiritual is.

Oh..Well by Scientifically I mean recorded by Scientists who have analyzed and experimented with the thought, and it have been proven true or false.

By Spiritually, I mean you feeling the Planets' aura of life emanating from it. You can draw energy from it, and you can feel the warmth of it's life flowing into yours.

can a planet die? if somthing can't die then is it alive. can you have light with out dark.

It can blow up in spectacular and cataclysmic supernovas.  Does that count?

Define death.  How is something ever dead?

[jdon1233]

Well almost everything in our world is or once was alive. For example wood=tree etc... although metals I'm ot so sure about but yea I guess there's a big possibility that planets could be alive.

[Wolfleo]

well personally I believe planets are alive, just not in the traditional sense

[lefttooth]

If life is defined as having energy, then of course planets are alive. But, then again, a dead body would be alive.
/end sarcasm

Planets do not have souls, therefore do not have life. Do they have energy? Sure. So do leylines. But theyre not alive. So do rivers. But they're not alive. Does my dryer have energy? Duh. But it isnt alive. What about a .223 round traveling downrange? If you think it doesnt have energy, step in front of it. But it sure as heck isnt alive. What about my video card? Sure. Energy. But noooo life.

Planets are not alive.

We are all energy...but in different forms..you me planets trees etc..all the same all one...with different appearances

I first started thinking of gaia as a living entity at the age of 10-12 and pretty much obsessivly tried to draw power from the earth and plants at that time. I move away from such earthly things at about the age of 18-20. By the age of 25 or so I had descovered computers and kind of lost track. I now belive now that all celestial objects have sentient and very old intelligence. I do not have proof to back this up however. It could be that what we call alien is actually celestial and earthly rocks, stars or whatever.

[meushiman]

I certainly do think that what scientists call alive and what is not is different than reality.  For example, according to science, viruses are not alive.  I mean an object that is not alive, like a rock, cant inject DNA into living objects because they don't have DNA and can't move in anyway. 

I figure the definition of alive is opinion and that the more simple an object becomes the harder it is to tell whether or not that object is alive.  I am not saying that planets are simple, but only that if a planet is alive, it is alive in very simple terms

Okay.......

Each word you have asked for definition, is an English word attributed to any one idea.

Death = biological death, which is why it is called death.

Spirituality = It is simply our idea of spirituality which is why it is named so.

Scientifically = Our method of science, scientist is named so because he/she studies the world around us in a manner at least similar to our scientific method which brings us back to scientifically.

A shorter answer would be you are not making any sense at all.

[Knifewalker]

I believe that the physical plane itself is a single living thing, and we are all parts of it. I would make the comparison that a planet is to the universe what a single cell is to a human, but since the universe is infinite and humans are not, that doesn't really work.
