A co-operative inquiry was established to explore the experience of a panpsychic world of sentient beings rather than inert objects, a world in which mind—sentience, subjectivity, and the will of self-realization—is a fundamental aspect of matter, just as matter is a fundamental aspect of mind. The nature of worldviews, the fundamental basis of our perceiving, thinking, valuing, and acting, is addressed and a brief outline of living cosmos panpsychism offered. The inquiry asks, could we humans, through intentional engagement, relate to the rivers as beings, subjects, or other-than-human persons in their own right? How might we engage with the rivers through personal relationship, ceremony, and invocation? What are the possibilities for reciprocal communication? In short, how might rivers speak?

通过本体论表达河流：合作探究

建立了一项合作调查，以探索由众生而非惰性物体组成的泛灵世界的体验，在这个世界中，心智——感知力、主观性和自我实现的意志——是物质的基本方面，就像物质是心的一个基本方面。世界观的本质，我们感知、思考、评价和行动的基本基础，得到了解决，并提供了活生生的宇宙泛心论的简要概述。调查询问，我们人类是否可以通过有意识的参与，将河流本身视为存在、主体或非人类的人？我们如何通过个人关系、仪式和祈求与河流互动？相互交流的可能性有哪些？简而言之，河流如何说话？
