Pantheistic: Encyclopedia - World Pantheist Movement The World Pantheist Movement (WPM) is an organization of people associated with pantheism, a philosophy which asserts that spirituality should be centered on nature. It claims membership in many countries. Some critics claim that the WPM is "atheism for nature-lovers," while the WPM itself insists that their worldview, while "compatible" with atheism, encompasses much more than atheism alone. Although generally considered a successful organization, the WPM has experienced some opposition in pantheist circles, ...

Pantheistic: Personal Responsibility, Religious Tolerance and Reverence for all Life

While quantum physics may be a modern development, pantheism is in fact an ancient spiritual path that holds everything in the Universe to be sacred. Eastern philosophies, Native American, pagan and Hawaiian beliefs that view all of nature as divine and interconnected can be said to be pantheistic. "God" here is not a bearded white man in the clouds, but more like "the Force" in Star Wars; the sum of all that is, and every aspect of existence at the same time. To pantheists, God is holographically everywhere at once.

Pantheistic: God of All Things

Animal Rights: God of All Things

All creatures, big and small, are beautiful creations of God. Very often, however, we tend to either ignore the "small" or exploit them for selfish reasons. This is where religion and spirituality can help - to restore to us a holistic perspective so that all of God's creations are given due respect.

Religious thought and spirituality serve a larger purpose only when they find positive expression in action. Theory without implementation is of no use. I fear that the concepts of religion and spirituality are being hijacked by humans for their own selfish purposes, leaving out all the other, equally if not more valid forms of life.

Pantheistic: Cosmic Balance and World Peace

Until 3,000 years ago, all religions were pantheistic and polytheistic as Hinduism, Taoism and Shinto still are. They tolerated the religions of other tribes and cultures, recognising in their worship the same divine energies as their own, albeit with different names.

Why then did patriarchal, monotheistic religions arise in the Middle East 3,000 years ago, and spread in their Christian forms throughout Europe and then on to the European colonised overseas territories during the last 1,500 years? Why did these monotheistic religions fight so fiercely to eradicate nature worship in the lands they controlled? Why did Christianity promote a dualistic antagonism between the spirit and the flesh, with only the former conceived as being in the "image of God"?

Pantheistic: Encyclopedia - Pantheism

Pantheism (Greek: pan = all and Theos = God) literally means "God is All" and "All is God". It is the view that everything is of an all-encompassing immanent God; or that the universe, or nature, and God are equivalent. More detailed definitions tend to emphasize the idea that natural law, existence, and/or the universe (the sum total of all that is, was, and shall be) is represented or personified in the theological principle of 'God'.

Pantheistic: Encyclopedia - Omnipresence

Omnipresence is defined, in a general sense, as the ability to be present in every place at any time; unbounded or universal presence. It is related to the concept of ubiquity, which is the ability to be everywhere at a certain point in time. This characteristic is most commonly used in a religious context, as most doctrines relate the trait of omnipresence to the superior being that they believe in, usually referred to as a god or goddess. This differs from Pantheism in that an Omnipresent Divine is implied to be more aware and engaged. Whereas the Pantheistic Divine is ...

Pantheistic: Encyclopedia II - Pantheism - Pantheistic concepts in religion

Pantheism - Hinduism. In Hindu theology Moksha and achieving godness is the ultimate, both transcendent and immanent, the absolute infinite existence, the sum total of all that ever is, was, or ever shall be. As the sun has rays of light which emanate from the same source, the same holds true for the multifaceted aspects of God emanating from Brahman, like many colors of the same prism. This concept of God is of one unity, with the individual personal Gods being aspects of the One; thus, different deities are seen by different adherents as particularly well suited to their worship. Pan ...
