Gaia Theory

The Gaia theory is a scientific theory originating from the school of Bio-Etherics in the movie Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.

The theory theorizes that, as each biological being has a biotic spirit, or “life force”, so too does the planet. Each life form’s spirit is said to be born of this planet-sized spirit (or “Gaia”) and each life returns to Gaia upon death to be born again. Through each cycle, each spirit brings the experiences of its life back to Gaia upon death, enabling Gaia to live and grow.
