Food of the Gods (the Matrix revisited again)

 So with animism, everything is alive right?  And when you eat the carrot, the carrot spirit comes into you and merges with you energetically.  It becomes you.  It transforms from its carrot energy body and is incorporated by you.  Both you and the carrot are transformed literally and figurately by the process.  The carrot assumes a new shape and form, and on a subtle level so do you.

So why would you think that this process of energy sharing and exchange stops there.  Its carrots and turtles all the way up, and down.  What are we consumed by, what eats us, what do we energetically merge into.  You can imagine the extra-dimensional beings as the gnostic denizen's of the matrix who put us into vats, or something more interesting, such as the theurgical entities that we invoke and in that process are consumed and transformed into something way way way more expansive:-).
