This is weird because I'm not entirely sure I know what you're talking about but I get the sense you're talking about the basic way in which people exchange energy with the world around them, which is so basic I have a hard time thinking of how to describe it except that's the way things are. Only many people do not seem to have this awareness of the exchange of energy - they don't seem to care enough to pay attention. Or they're missing a sense, or something.

And yet I've known many people who've taken for granted that this is the way things are. It seems to be a spiritual relationship with the world, rather than a purely material one. A soul-to-soul connection, or at least awareness.

Or did I misunderstand?
