P A N T E I Z M I
GOD=NATURE=COSMIC SYSTEM
A human being is a part of the cosmic system, just like a blood cell in a human body.
All the answers have been given to us, and they are here. Let's enlighten ourselves and find out.
Let's take responsibility and face the reality, that if WE don't do anything, nobody will.
WE are GOD.

Pantheism is above all a profoundly emotional response to Nature and the wider Universe. It accepts that these are the only reality that we can truly know, the only reality that truly matters, the only reality we have to relate to. They are the place we arose, the place we belong, the context of our daily lives. We are at home here.
That emotional response has two primary elements. One is a sense of awe, wonder, reverence and acceptance of the natural universe, based on its power and beauty and mystery. This sense is the basis for some pantheists' use of words such as "god" "divine," though these words are never used in their traditional Western theistic sense. However, many pantheists prefer to avoid theistic words because of the ambiguity they give rise to.
The other is a sense of belonging, of community with the starry skies, with all living beings and with our own bodies. This sense is the basis for statements about the unity of all things, and about the unity of the individual with the whole. It is the basis on which pantheists can talk about and experience union with the whole, similar to the ecstatic experiences of mystics in all spiritual traditions.
Within these shared approaches, some pantheists believe in a supernatural side of the universe and a separate spiritual substance of humans. However, natural/scientific pantheists comfortably and enthusiasically accept and celebrate our fundamentally physical being. We believe that our minds are expressions of our bodies, and that everything that exists is part of nature.

Re: P A N T E I Z M I
Save the "emotional" and "spiritual" approach to it, Pantheism is the reality we face every day and the future direction of all religions... given an educated population that grows exponentially.
Knowledge, knowledge, knowledge.
Knowledge, knowledge, knowledge.
