Anam Cara is an anglicisation of the Irish words anam meaning "soul" and cara meaning "friend". The term was popularised by John O'Donaghue in his 1997 book "Anam Ċara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom" In the Celtic tradition "soul friends" are considered an essential and integral part of spiritual development. According to O'Donohue, the word anam cara originates in Irish monasticism, where it was applied to a monk's teacher, companion, or spiritual guide
Anam Cara is presented here as a Fundamental Process Ontology that does not presume, or embrace Cartesian dualism that makes a complete split into two separate and independent worlds: (i) The physical world where Operations implemented/represented in the "Real" (physical) world where understanding and prescriptions for operating in the "physical world'' is mediated via "scientific method"; and (ii) the Spirt world within which consciousness and spirituality is represented modelled, and controlled within the domain of theologies)..
Instead, Anam Cara presumes a single unified, all-inclusive world that is accessed and explored as a rhizome[ (Deleuze and Guatarri,1987), within human consciousness that gives access to this world though its operations. We all inhabit this world individually, whereby it is accessed through our own consciousness, and in that sense is a totally alive spiritual world. Thus, we may exhibit "spirituality" at an individual having a spiritual envelop that occupies a body (a physical dimension represented as a function of conscious experience.
