The worldview that all things are infused with the vital force, thereby implying the interconnectedness of all things.
Some things have a higher concentration of vital force, for example, the difference between a blueberry picked in the wild, and a blueberry grown in a greenhouse, using synthetic fertilizers. Generally, things with a higher concentration of vital force are preferred, because they cause less harm, both to nature and to the body, while contributing to heightened vitality.
When an item is mass produced, it’s vital force is also less than if it was made by hand. This is why some people prefer handmade ceramic cup over a plastic cup.
This usually also leads to a higher quality of life, but not necessarily. The important thing is the perspective of choosing something which is more holistically beneficial, and causes less harm to nature.
