~~~Are you a Pantheist??? What is a Pantheist??? Pantheism isthe belief...

[Guest guest]

Dear All

 

Pantheism is New Age. Gorbachev said that I dont believe in God but to me

the Universe is Divine !

 

Wordsworth and other transcendentalists were Pantheists

 

Immanence, Transcendence and Cosmicity are the triune aspects of Being. His

immanence ( from the Latin manere - to remain in everything ) is Pantheism

 

Love is Brahman
