Kosmilists

Kosmilists are a theoretical group of individuals who believe in the inherent value and potential sentience of the cosmos itself. Their philosophy posits that the universe, in its vastness and complexity, may possess a form of consciousness or awareness that transcends individual life forms. This awareness is not necessarily anthropomorphic but rather a fundamental aspect of cosmic existence.

The core tenets of kosmilism suggest that understanding and connecting with this cosmic consciousness is a primary goal. This connection might be sought through various means, including deep contemplation of the universe, scientific inquiry into its fundamental laws, and artistic or spiritual expressions that reflect cosmic themes. Kosmilists often view humanity as a part of this larger cosmic entity, rather than separate from it.

While not a formally organized religion or established scientific field, kosmilism appears in philosophical discussions and certain fringe spiritual movements. Proponents might draw inspiration from cosmology, theoretical physics, and mystical traditions. The concept encourages a sense of cosmic belonging and responsibility, urging individuals to consider their place within the grand tapestry of the universe. The term itself is often used in speculative fiction and philosophical thought experiments.
