If you use the Proto-Germanic word God it has strong connotations of Judeo-Christianity in your country, a connotation of a type of God which is most commonly considered part a Bible based dualistic paradigm as opposed to other words like Brahman or Dharma which have less dualistic connotation or words that have no religious connotation at all such as "The Universe", "Everything" , "Existence", "The All" (perhaps vaguely religious) . Why of all these other words would you use the word "God" instead of one of these others? Is it specifically chosen to inspire a religious-ish reverence or to subvert the Judeo-Christian tradition?

I recommend the name "Voice of Niv" and it would be about singing and personal development and try to tie the singing in with the personal development if it ties in with signing. and a second channel "Magic of Meteorology" or "Divine Meteorology"

1) what is the logic or proof behind the statement Everything = Nothing ? How do you know it makes sense? 2) Does non duality mean everything = nothing? 3) Do most adherents of nonduality consider themselves theists or atheists? 4) Is the term "God" appropriate for someone who is a nondualist? thanks

John Toland first used the word pantheist in 1705, In 1710, in a letter to Leibniz, he provided some content to the word when he referred to "the pantheistic opinion of those who believe in no other eternal being but the universe." Albert Einstein in an interview published in George Sylvester Viereck's book Glimpses of the Great (1930), responded to a question about whether or not he defined himself as a pantheist. He explained: Your question is the most difficult in the world. It is not a question I can answer simply with yes or no. I am not an Atheist. I do not know if I can define myself as a Pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. May I not reply with a parable? The human mind, no matter how highly trained, cannot grasp the universe. We are in the position of a little child, entering a huge library whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of the human mind, even the greatest and most cultured, toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged, obeying certain laws, but we understand the laws only dimly. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that sways the constellations. I am fascinated by Spinoza's Pantheism. I admire even more his contributions to modern thought. Spinoza is the greatest of modern philosophers, because he is the first philosopher who deals with the soul and the body as one, not as two separate things. Einstein stated, "My views are near those of Spinoza: admiration for the beauty of and belief in the logical simplicity of the order which we can grasp humbly and only imperfectly. I believe that we have to content ourselves with our imperfect knowledge and understanding and treat values and moral obligations as a purely human problem—the most important of all human problems."

do you have proof that the term "no things" is meaningful beyond an abstract idea? Your claim seems to be that everything is god and nothing is god. If you believe this to be true that this could another variant of pantheism or is there another name for it?

the later

why do you say this? (also I added to may last remark)

Do you know why or have you asked them why they think you are disgusting and creepy?

If every thing is included in everything are there things included in everything that are not things?

ok, fixed

what's the deeper realization?

Only the present exists

Phillip, you would need to describe more about what you are uncertain about or the type of things you are uncertain about

Please stay on topic. The topic is pantheism not Gnosticism.

Define WooWoo and Non-Woo Woo

Please stay on topic. The topic is not Animism and Polytheism. The topic is pantheism and the different types of it which I have described earlier in third post from the top

You would have to weigh a negative list against a positive list

thanks

Distinction between Animism and Pantheism Animism is not the same as pantheism, although the two are sometimes confused. Some religions are both pantheistic and animistic. One of the main differences is that while animists believe everything to be spiritual in nature, they do not necessarily see the spiritual nature of everything in existence as being united (monism), the way pantheists do. As a result, animism puts more emphasis on the uniqueness of each individual soul. In pantheism, everything shares the same spiritual essence, rather than having distinct spirits and/or souls. __________________________ Examples of Animism Mun (also called Munism or Bongthingism) is the traditional polytheistic, animist, shamanistic, and syncretic religion of the Lepcha people. Shinto (including the Ryukyuan religion) is the traditional Japanese folk religion and has many animist aspects. Korean shamanism, similar to Shinto, has many animist aspects. The traditional African religions are the religious traditions of Sub-Saharan Africa, which are basically a complex form of animism with polytheistic and shamanistic elements and ancestor worship. The traditional Berber religion and the pre-Islamic Arab religion are the traditional polytheistic, animist, and in some rare cases, shamanistic, religions of the Berber and Arabic people. Dravidian folk religion, the traditional animist, polytheistic and partially shamanistic folk religion of the Dravidian people before the introduction of Hinduism or Buddhism. Some Neopagan groups, including Eco-pagans, describe themselves as animists, meaning that they respect the diverse community of living beings and spirits with whom humans share the world/cosmos. The Kalash people of Northern Pakistan follow an ancient animistic religion.

I posted the definition, please read it.

These days I hear people talk about veganism and carnivore diets as if vegetarianism which can include animal products Ovo-lacto vegetarianism allows eggs, dairy Ovo vegetarianism allows eggs Lacto vegetarianism allows dairy Also Pescatarianism allowing fish only in addition to one of the forms of vegetarianism above Rising global meat consumption is beginning to devastate environment. Some of the feeling that one can't maintain bodily energy level on a vegetarian is often psychological or because the diet is not balanced correctly. By eating less animal meat, your body doesn't have to use as much energy to digest your food. Beans, nuts and seeds are important and grain. The key is to reduce the grain portion size but it is needed to counteract the gas production of the beans. So the grain might be slightly higher than the beans and the beans and rice in equal portion to vegetables instead of covering the whole plate . Fruits might take up more of the breakfast meal. Add a B complex supplement. The diet needs to be adjusted to how much physical activity a person is doing. more meals for more active people
