Hello, I am new at The Gaia Community. Here is a little about me, but first allow me to say…

Did you know Albert Einstein was a Pantheist? You might be asking, “what is a Pantheist?” Pantheists believe God and the Universe are one in the same. IT is the only God which can be proven to exist. IT is an “Infinite Living Organism” and all things come from IT, made of IT, and are a part of IT. IT has a number of different names; Father/Mother-Nature, The All, The Infinite, God/Goddess. IT is the only philosophical/theological belief in existence which is completely and totally in alignment with modern science.

Here is a list of a few famous people who believed in Pantheism.

Did you know there is significant evidence that Jesus was a Pantheist (Christian Pantheism), and that he was not talking about the Jewish God as most people simple take for granted. Rather, he was very cleverly talking about the Pantheist God (Father/Mother-Nature/Universe/The-All/ The-Infinite.)
Jesus as a Pantheist could indeed say, “I and the Father are one, God is in me and I am in God.” That's because all Pantheists can same the exact same thing. With the fore-mentioned statement, most people simply assumed Jesus was claiming to be God. Nothing could be further from the truth. The teachings of Jesus start to make perfect sense once you remove the Jewish god from the equation, and replace that anthropomorphic god with the Pantheist God. 

According to many anthropologists, Pantheism was probably the first philosophical belief Mankind developed. From the ancient cave wall depictions, we can assume early people revered “Nature” as their God. We know Pantheism was around during the time of Jesus, however most Jewish people were completely unaware of Pantheism. 

There are hundreds of millions of Pantheists worldwide. Most Taoists are pantheists, along with many Chinese, Japanese and Western Buddhists, deep ecologists, pagans, animists, followers of many native religions, and many Unitarian Universalists. The central philosophical scriptures of Hinduism are pantheistic. Many atheists and humanists may be naturalistic pantheists without realizing it.

If you Google Pantheism you will find, as in most beliefs, there are many variations of Pantheism. However, all Pantheists agree on at least one thing, “God and the Universe are one in the same.”

Ok, that's a little about myself. I am always looking to make new friends. If you would like to discuss the subject of Pantheism, please email me and we'll talk.

Love and Wisdom!!!
