i.e. the concept that mind is not unique to humans or even to biological organisms, but is distributed throughout the universe:

David Skrbina, author of the clear and comprehensive bookPanpsychism in the West, suggests that we might think of a physical system as determining a moving point in a multi-dimensional phase space that has an axis for each of the system's measurable properties. He feels this dynamic point represents the sense of unity characteristic of a mind.

Further down page mentioned in the previous post (under an article w/same title as this post):

the tendency for life to become more complex over the past 3.5 billion years (as well as the overall increase in biomass and organismal diversity through time) is not due simply to natural selection, as most evolutionists still argue, but also to nature's "efforts" to grab more and more of the sun's flow.

One life, indivisible and eternal, in the company of lives:

"More and more, it appears that complex, cycling, swirling systems of matter have a natural tendency to emerge in the face of energy gradients. This recurrent phenomenon may even have been the driving force behind life's origins."
