“Soul of the world.” An occult term applied to the all-connecting consciousness, or divine essence, which permeates and animates everything in Nature. According to occult lore all sentient life is fused, blended and unified by Anima Mundi so that in reality there is no such thing as separateness. Radio-activity symbolizes this principle. Synonym of the oriental term Alaya.
