	Pantheism
		Pantheists, like theists, tend to be "moral realists." They believe it is an objective fact that some kinds of actions are ethically right and others wrong, and what is right and wrong is independent of what any person thinks is right and wrong.
		Pantheists also have recourse to numerous philosophical sources-Spinoza etc. But, the pantheist is not without alternatives to the scripture and discourse theists have at their disposal.
		Pantheistic worship might naively be thought to be a kind of self-worship; worshipping something of which one is a part or identified with.

	Plotinus [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		The 'power' of the One is not a power in the sense of physical or even mental action; the power of the One, as Plotinus speaks of it, is to be understood as the only adequate description of the 'manifestation' of a supreme principle that, by its very nature, transcends all predication and discursive understanding.
		The One transcends all beings, and is not itself a being, precisely because all beings owe their existence and subsistence to their eternal contemplation of the dynamic manifestation(s) of the One.
		'Vision' (theoria), for Plotinus, whether intellectual or physical, implies not simply possession of the viewed object in or by the mind, but also an empowerment, given by the object of vision to the one who has viewed it.

	Subject: Ernest Gellner: MARXISM AND ISLAM: FAILURE AND SUCCESS
		It offered a total vision of the universe and of society and a combined vision of the two, so that social order and social righteousness were seen as corollaries of the total vision.
		People who have seen the world through the eyes of a certain vision, who were brought up in that vision, who identified the terms of that vision with their evaluation of their surroundings, are not easily weaned from it.
		Spinoza was the greatest pantheist, who described how God- intoxicated man firmly abolished the division, and how the whole world was equally sacred, and had one pervasive deity‹ the pantheist vision.

	Book Review: Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake by Alexander Moseley
		But in Atwood’s vision, they have produced separate social strata in which the elite, working for the companies, have all their requirements looked after without the need to enter the cities and suburbs populated by the allegedly less intelligent, where violence, disease, lack of hygiene, and sex markets seem to rule.
		His best friend, Crake, however, apparently has a vision of what life and his role in it ought to be: ‘apparently’, for both men grow up as products of their culture, a culture that is very much embedded in our contemporary world.
		In any literary vision of the future, jumps and omissions have to be made, but two strong assumptions must be challenged (there are several but two will suffice here).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Existence of God
		On the contrary it helps to emphasize this truth, for the same relation of dependence upon a self-existing cause which is implied in the contingency of any single being is implied a fortiori in the existence of an infinite series of such beings, supposing such a series to be possible.
		A self-existing world would exist of absolute necessity and would be infinite in every kind of perfection; but of nothing are we more certain than that the world as we know it, in its totality as well as in its parts, realizes only finite degrees of perfection.
		Indeed the whole strength of the pantheistic position as against Atheism lies in what it holds in common with Theism; while, on the other hand, its weakness as a world theory becomes evident as soon as it diverges from or contradicts Theism.

	Universal Pantheist Society - Socinianism - A forerunner to Modern Pantheism
		We can suppose, as present-day pantheists do, that these two members of the Catholic clergy realized that the agency they had been thought to be God is actually the natural world in its entirety for without it nothing else on planet Earth can exist, not even ideas.
		It is only logical to suspect that any biological organism is not something man could have created, so it must be God who is said in Genesis 1 by whoever wrote that chapter that: "In the beginning God created the Universe" and all that there is on planet Earth.
		More on this rich history of pantheistic reality on planet Earth is welcome for what could become an anthropological work someday by the Society of great significance to posterity.

	[No title]
		Pantheists are inspired and emotionally affected by going into the woods, to experience the part of nature that is different from humans.
		But it also makes sense if some pantheists are inspired by seeing a probe launched into deep space, built by human beings, or by marvelling at the human-created internet, or hearing a new theory produced by astronomers or biologists.
		Some scientific pantheists may be more inspired and interested in the non-human part of nature, or by the emotional and aesthetic aspect of scientific pantheism.

	GREEN LAP, BROWN EMBRACE, BLUE BODY: THE ECOSPIRITUALITY OF ALICE WALKER
		She prays to the Earth at several points in LBW.(n33) She speaks too of invoking the universe, telling it what we need, and believes that the universe responds to human desires, whether these desires are for good or for ill, for deadly chemicals or for fields of wildflowers.
		Despite what may be read as a rather smug dismissal of her own suffering here, or a somewhat grudging resignation to it, Walker's overall pantheist vision may be described as upbeat -- immanentist and eschatological in a generally hopeful vein.
		Alice Walker's vision may be called eschatological not only because it is hopeful enough to prescribe new ways of being and relating but also because it embraces that element of eschaton which we term "consummation." Hers is not, however, the consummation of the world in apocalyptic end-time.

		Although I agree the term may not fit in the pantheist concept as it is used in the "Christian" and some other religious concepts "We" Pantheist should not have such a fear of the term on such a strong aversion to it.
		I would suggest that pantheist have little or no fear of dying because there is no threat of "hell" as there is no guarantee of "heaven" Transition beyond death is indefinable, as is creation, in the pantheist view.

		For there to be a partial vision with a global impact, it would have to successfully deconstruct or radically immanentize or psychologize the eschaton.
		The pantheists' can maintain their monism only by declaring matter to be a negative illusion, i.e.
		The vision presented here purports to surmount this barrier by taking onboard pantheism's monism, universalism and immaterialism, while, at the same time, discarding the notion of an absolute or omnipotent deity.

	Quodlibet Online Journal: Meta-Paradigms in Theological Thought - by Herman J Pietersen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		He held a strictly pantheistic view of God, and deterministic conception of human nature, which he put forth in a long series of deductive propositions (reasoning from self-evident premises), utilizing the so-called 'geometrical' (mathematical) method of exposition.
		Although not much is known about Paul Harrison, his recent internet 'sermon' on all the advantages and benefits of becoming a "scientific pantheist", conveniently serves as an example of 'promotional theology', for purposes of the present discussion.

	DISF - Dizionario Interdisciplinare di Scienza e Fede \| Idealism
		Following the official vision of the Copenhagen school, it is worth emphasizing that the interpretation of quantum mechanics is considered idealist for two reasons.
		Their inseparability is not interpreted as an action that introduces an unavoidable subjectivism into knowledge, but rather as an indication of the need to consider as a whole the measuring device and the measured object, as if they were a single “entity”, and therefore the impossibility of examining them as separate parts.
		In line with such a vision, the conception would take shape that Christian religion is both the development of an Idea and the unfolding of this in history.

		The Luminists such as Kensett and Lane also shared a pantheist vision of nature, but their landscapes retreated from the theatricality and grandiosity of the Hudson River School.
		In their works, the simplification of form, the refined and highly detailed technique, the delicate tonal variations and the luminosity all take on a spiritual significance.
		Homer suppressed the details, replacing them by great swathes of form and color with strong contrasts of lights and shadows, by a looser and more vibrant brushstroke that brought him close to the European works by the artists of the Barbizon School and, later, of the Impressionists.

	World Religions: Comparative Analysis
		A similar syncretistic trend is encouraged by the suggestion to consider the various world religions as alternative paths to the same transcendental finality or, using a known illustration, many paths to the same mountain peak.
		Although this vision is arousing a lot of enthusiasm in many people today, it is important to know that it is not the only one, as Christianity and Islam each claim to be the only right path to God.
		Therefore the other option is that world religions are not pieces of the same puzzle (parts of the same spiritual "elephant") or alternative paths to the same goal.
