Spirit Culture

A culture that only exists in the spirit realm or another dimension, but not necessarily in the mortal world.
'Before the Greek gods called themselves Olympians, in ancient Greek times, they called themselves Etherians, because they were so ethereal and descended from the upper-air, Aether. Etherian was a spirit culture, because it didn't exist in the mortal world, but only in the gods' realm.'

Heat Culture

It’s the shared goals, shared vision, shared thoughts of the Miami Heat NBA Basketball Team. It is discipline, accountability, work ethic, and enjoying somebody else’s success. It is the hardest working, best conditioned, most professional, unselfish, toughest, meanest, nastiest team in the NBA. Everything they do is about winning. It’s not about anything else. So they ride with that. They think about that. It’s something they believe in. It’s for them. It’s not for everybody.
Everybody's given themselves to the team. Whatever the team needs, and there's no ego about anything right now. … That's Heat culture.

The culture eater takes the eating experience to a new level.
A culture eater watched a Bear Gryll wild survival documentary, and he rushed to his backyard tries to dig out bug larva.

A guy dresses up like a 19th century English gentleman and perambulate into a traditional posh restaurant, and dines like a 19th cent gentleman, although the food hardly filled him up nor he liked any of the food in particular.
