Default Do substances have feelings?Also "being ready"

I haven't read my book for several days.When i decide to continue reading it today,i noticed that i heard and thought about that topic which i am reading in previous days.Why does it happen?Wasn't i ready for that topic in the book so i first heard and thought things about that topic before reading that topic from the book today?I noticed that same thing happened many times with this book and Abraham Hick's book before.

Ok,let's talk about my other question.Do substances have feelings?For example,does a room have it's feelings?
On monday,i went to my therapist.We did an exercise with him.It was "identifying exercise".In this exercise,you give your attention to a substance,animal,plant,human... try to identify yourself with it/him/her and feel what it/she/he feels.

Now today,i have read a similar topic in the book " Zero Limits".I want to write conversation lines from that book.Some people may think that it is a funny conversation

" "What do you notice" he(Dr Hew Len) asked me.I looked around and said "The carpet needs to be cleaned."
"What impressions do you get?" he asked."There's no right or wrong.What you may get may not be what i get"
I allowed myself to relax and focus on the moment.Suddenly i sensed a lot of traffic,a weariness,a darkness.i wasn't sure what it was or what it meant,but i voiced it to Dr Hew Len.
"The room is tired" he said."People come in and out and never love it.It needs acknowledgment"
I thought that was a little strange.A room is like a person?It has feelings?
Well,whatever.
"This room says its name is Sheila."
"Sheila?That's the room's name?"
"Sheila wants to know we appreciate her."
I wasn't sure how to respond to that.
"We need to ask permission to have our event here." he said."So i'm asking Sheila if it is okay with her."
"What is she saying?" I asked,feeling a little foolish asking the question.
"She says it's okay."
"Well,that's good," i replied,remembering that my deposit on the room was nonrefundable."

There is a word for when humans assign human characteristics to non human things (i.e. The wind gods are angry, that is why we got the wind storm that destroyed our crops (would a god experience a human emotion? I doubt it))

I can't remember the word though.

Anthropomorphize is the word I think you are looking for.

But, Jack, I don't know about whether objects or rooms have feelings per se. Maybe there is some kind of energy in everything, not just living things?

I've heard that places can have something like memory...and that's what ghosts are. Like, everything that happens in a certain place has its mark there, and/or it is happening simultaneously because there is no time... I don't know if that helps.
