When the sense of the earth unites with the sense of one's body, one becomes earth of the earth, a plant among plants, an animal born from the soil and fertilizing it. In this union, the body is confirmed in its pantheism.
The essence of all pantheism, evolutionism, and modern cosmic religion is really this proposition: that nature is our mother. Unfortunately, if you regard Nature as a mother, you discover she is a step-mother.
. . . . we are a part of nature as a whole, whose order we follow.
God is the indwelling and not the transient cause of all things.
Pantheism, n. The doctrine that everything is God, in contradistinction to the doctrine that God is everything.
Johnny Appleseed was revered. . he was. . . an evangelist (of a doctrine veering perilously close to pantheism).
Everything is interwoven, and the web is holy.

[Malebranche] teaches that we see all things in God himself. This is certainly equivalent to explaining something unknown by something even more unknown. Moreover, according to him, we see not only all things in God, but God is also the sole activity therein, so that physical causes are so only apparently; they are merely occasional causes. ( Recherches de la vérité , Livre VI, seconde partie, chap. 3. ) And so here we have essentially the pantheism of Spinoza who appears to have learned more from Malebranche than from Descartes.
In the second century A. D. the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius may have best defined pantheism when he wrote, “Everything is interwoven, and the web is holy.
Pantheism, seeing the natural world as divine, is a very different thing than seeing divine God present in all things
Pantheism is only a polite form of atheism.
Some people have described Daoism as pantheist, and although there's something in me that resists this designation, I can see that Daoism is consistent with pantheism. If there is any way in which pantheism makes sense and is not redundant, then it is the way (or 'the Way') presented in Daoism.
Pantheism is sexed-up atheism. Deism is watered-down theism.
Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived.
