odinism requires going "within" to understand
thats why Odin and his brothers "rebuilt" Ymir into Midgard
so the person becomes the earth he stands on until returns to it etc. But the more important thing is: why does the mind require it to destroy one thing to create something else
this is why many of pagan norse were converted to christianity, its the presence of the animal logic that becomes apparent. There are other ways to approach this kind of idea

The issue with abstraction is when there is a second party. If you only exist you would endlessly loop within yourself, but if a second entity "exists" that looping mechanism would just appear to be like an amoeba trying to absorb other cells (see the microbe statement)
this is why abstraction is only one way of considering reality, so if you look at the apple in the video. The better look is the tree is funneling nutrients to its extremities and that its last function is to create something that it itself doesnt eat but other entities eat so that it can persist.
I forget where I posted it but its like this Esau and Jacob analysis
if you were a horse, would you grow your own grass to eat it infinitely? or do you see other horses etc
EDIT
