A Northern Pantheism: Notes on the Confederation Poets and Contemporary Mythographers by Maia Bhojwani Among the Millet and published in The Week Essays in Criticism (Series I) The Dread Voyage and Other Poems Lyrics of Earth Despite the nostalgia evident in this recreation of an archaic, Arcadian and mythic past, A rationalistic approach to nature tempers their treatment of mythological subjects and differentiates them from writers as committed to the use of myth as Isabella Valancy Crawford. Yet the major influences upon their work, which include the Romantics and the American Transcendentalists, were often understood in the conventional terms of nineteenth-century interpretations of mythology and the poets led to experiment with indigenous forms of myth-making in keeping with the theories of contemporary mythographers. The implications of these ideas for the Canadian poets vary, from their obvious application to a poetic sort of nature-worship, to a more serious consideration of the direction the literature of a relatively new nation should take. I shall consider these ideas as a possible background for the patterns of imagery which occur in their studies of landscape, with special reference to Carman, Roberts, Lampman and Campbell, who matured under similar influences during the formative years, in the 1880s. Scott started writing almost a decade later (just as Crawford began a decade earlier) and the mythographers have little direct bearing upon his Indian experience.

I think God is as much a basic ingredient in the universe as neutrons and positrons. This is the prime force, when we look around the universe. The starship Excelsior Gene Roddenberry, the legendary creator of Star Trek, was born in El Paso, Texas, in 1921. He studied law, then switched to aeronautical engineering and trained as a pilot. In 1941 he volunteered for the US Army Air Corps, and won medals for bombing missions from Guadalcanal. After the war he became a pilot for Pan Am. After seeing television for the first time, he decided to become a TV writer, but when he found no openings, he joined the Los Angeles Police Department and rose to sergeant. He wrote TV scripts in his spare time, then went freelance. He was the chief writer for several TV series before launching Star Trek in 1966. Roddenberry became anti-religious at an early age. As a youth he attended Baptist church, but it was not till he was sixteen that he began to pay any real attention to what the sermons were saying: I remember complete astonishment because what they were talking about were things that were just crazy. It was Communion time where you eat this wafer and you are eating the body of Christ and drinking His blood. My first impression was "Jesus Christ, this is a bunch of cannibals they've put me down among . . . I guess from that time it was clear to me that religion as largely nonsense, was largely magical, superstitious things. [Alexander pp 36- 37.]

25. Spinoza: The First Modern Pantheist. Outline of pantheism in Spinoza's philosophy. http://members.aol.com/Heraklit1/spinoza.htm

Member of GSAnet Banner Swap Spinoza - the first modern pantheist A history of pantheism by Paul Harrison. Are you a pantheist? See the Scientific Pantheism site. Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived. Spinoza was born in Amsterdam in 1632, into a family of Jewish emigrants fleeing persecution in Portugal. He was trained in Talmudic scholarship, but his views soon took unconventional directions which the Jewish community - fearing renewed persecution on charges of atheism - tried to discourage. Spinoza was offered 1000 florins to keep quiet about his views, but refused. At the age of 24, he was summoned before a rabbinical court, and solemnly excommunicated. Spinoza refused all rewards and honours, and gave away to his sister his share of his father's inheritance - keeping only a bedstead for himself. He earned his living as a humble lens-grinder. He died, in February 1674, of consumption, probably aggravated by fine glass dust inhaled at his workbench. His philosophy is summarized in the Ethics , a very abstract work, which openly expresses none of the love of nature that might be expected from someone who identified God with nature. And Spinoza's starting point is not nature or the cosmos, but a purely theoretical definition of God. The work then proceeds to prove its conclusions by a method modelled on geometry, through rigorous definitions, axioms, propositions and corollaries. No doubt in this way Spinoza hoped to build his philosophy on the solidest rock, but the method, as well as some of the arguments and definitions, are often unconvincing.

26. What Is Pantheism? - Pantheist Association For Nature What is pantheism Definition of pantheism - a religion that kindles a sunbright spiritual relationship with Nature - by the Pantheist Association for Nature. http://home.utm.net/pan/whatis.html

@import "pan.css"; Pantheism is a religion that kindles a sunbright spiritual relationship with Nature Introduction Additional Definitions The God of Pantheism Varieties of Pantheism Introduction The word Pantheism comes from two Greek words "pan" = all + "theos" = god . In Pantheism, "all is god." Many Pantheists define "god" as Nature and its creative forces . God and Nature are one in the same. In contrast, many Monotheists (from "mono" = one+ "theos" = god) define "god" as a supernatural individual. God and Nature are separated. To identify god with Nature, rather than with a hallowed personage, seems odd to those unfamiliar with Pantheism. But actually Monotheism is less common than Pantheism in the history of religion. For tens of thousands of years, humans viewed the Earth as a sacred place with divinity everywhere. Religious scholar Denise Carmody notes "The oldest God is nature...in the beginning, human beings sensed that their habitat was sacred. With twists and turns and numberless permutations, they played out this primal intuition." Modern Pantheism revivifies our species' gene-deep intuition that the Earth is indeed holy. Divinity infuses the world, the skies, the seas, the rocks, the trees, the animals, and ourselves. Pantheism gives perspective to all we do and instills a reverence for Nature which can help reverse the ecological crises of our times.

PANTHEISM AND THE GOLDEN RULE By Gary Suttle What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness? Jean-Jacques Rousseau The Golden Rule exemplifies human kindness, cooperation, and reciprocity. Many religions expound the renowned rule in one way or another: Buddhism: A clansman (should) minister to his friends and familiars...by treating them as he treats himself. Christianity: As ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. Confucianism: What you do not want done to yourself, do not do unto others. Hinduism: Do naught to others which, if done to thee, would cause thee pain: this is the sum of duty. Judaism: Take heed to thyself, my child, in all thy works; and be discreet in all thy behavior. And what thou thyself hatest, do to no man. Pantheism similarly heeds the Golden Rule. Pantheists strive to treat others as they wish themselves to be treated, but their warmheartedness spreads beyond humankind Pantheists agree with those who extend the Golden Rule to relations with other life forms and the Earth itself. Showing kindness and consideration to other creatures and to the environment is the natural thing to do (interestingly, the word "kind" comes from the Old English word "gecynde" which means "natural").

30. Pantheism In The Philippines A description of pantheism and some of the beliefs and aspirations of Pantheists in the Philippines. http://www.geocities.com/pilipinopantheist

PILIPINO PANTHEISM (PANTEISMO NG PILIPINAS) Pantheism is the belief that God is the Universe or Nature. It takes its name from the Greek god of nature, Pan. It can take three forms, Natural Pantheism, that Pan is Nature, a force within the Universe; Spiritual Pantheism, that there is a Universal Spirit that is present in all persons and all things, that our personal spirit is merely part of the Universal Spirit; and Universal Pantheism, that God is the Universe, not a separate creator person, but the totality of existence, with all its organization or order, its mystery and its grandeur. Spiritual Pantheism was present in the Philippines before the Spanish conquest. It was never the major belief that it was over the Pacific Islands, where the Universal Spirit is still revered as Mana in all the Polynesian, Melanesian and Micronesian languages. Mana controls the destiny of everyone and everything. How important you are, how great a leader or faith healer, is a function of how much Mana you possess. In Pilipino traditional religions, there are layers of divinity, with a supreme creator God at top who is fairly inaccessible and not intimately involved in daily life, major gods below It, then Laon, the Universal Spirit which is present in all creatures, then anito, gods or spirits present in the world and intimately involved in daily life. How widespread the belief in Laon was, how important it was, and how Laon was related to, much of this knowledge was lost during the long domination by the Spanish and the Catholic Church.

Pantheism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Pantheism , simply stated, means " God is All " and "All is God". It is the view that everything is of an all encompassing God. More detailed definitions tend to emphasize the idea that natural law, existence and/or the universe (the sum total of all that is was and shall be) is personified in the theological principle of 'God.' One way to describe certain interpretations of pantheism is to say "you are to God, as an individual blood cell in your vein is to you." While a cell may be aware of its own environs, and even has some choices ( freewill ) between right and wrong (killing a bacteria , becoming cancerous, or perhaps just doing nothing, among countless others) it has little conception of the greater being of which it is a part. Another way to understand this relationship is the Hindu concept of atman . It is important to note that not all modern interpretations of pantheism would find this analogy meaningful; for that matter, not even all pantheists believe in free will . This is indicative of the wide diversity of pantheist belief. Table of contents 1 Pantheistic religions 1.1 Hinduism

Zen Pantheism What the heck do I mean by the term Zen Pantheism? This magazine article, sent to me by my sister and found in the March 1998 issue of "Unity", is a good illustration of what I mean. It is authored by James Dillet Freeman and is titled "Life is a Wonder", from his book The Hilltop Heart:Reflections of a Practical Mystic. One morning in my garden I asked God to bless every living thing. And God asked, "But what is not a living thing?" First of all I thought of air-invisible, inert. But the air leapt into my mouth and became my living breath. The air became the red of my blood and in the secret furnace of my cells the air became the fire of life itself. Then I thought of water-colorless, inert. But drinking the water, I thought, "What is this body that drank the water? Is it not itself mainly water? This water that I drank is now the essence of my blood and tissues. When, then, is water merely water and when is it water of life?" Then I thought of earth-brown, inert. "Earth, "I thought, "is not living, "and I kicked at the clods under my feet turned green and put forth leaf and stem and flower and the grain ripened in the ear. I took the ear, ground it, made bread out of it, and ate the bread. And the bread became the very stuff of myself, so that I could not separate that which was me and that which was earth. This which now was me had but a short time before been the clods of earth that I had kicked with my feet. "Surely, "I thought, "there is something that is not living. "I thought of stones. But even with the thought I sensed the stirring in the stone, and I knew that the immovable, changeless stones were changing and moving, flowing no less than rivers, to become the living pith and bone of creatures yet unborn.

40. A Few Words On Pantheism A critical examination of the belief and morals behind the universe as god. http://www.geocities.com/c_ansata/Pan.html

A Few Words on Pantheism from Schopenhauer, Arthur. Saunders, T. Bailey, trans. Parerga and Paralipomena in Saunders, T. Bailey. "A Few Words on Pantheism." Religion: A Dialogue and Other Essays . New York: Macmillian and Co., 1891. 55-58. THE, controversy between Theism and Pantheism might be presented in an allegorical or dramatic form by supposing a dialogue between two persons in the pit of a theatre at Milan during the performance of a piece. One of them, convinced that he is in Girolamo's renowned marionette-theatre, admires the art by which the director gets up the dolls and guides their movements. "Oh, you are quite mistaken," says the other, "we're in the Teatro della Scala; it is the manager and his troop who are on the stage; they are the persons you see before you; the poet too is taking a part." The chief objection I have to Pantheism is that it says nothing. To call the world "God" is not to explain it; it is only to enrich our language with a superfluous synonym for the word "world." It comes to the same thing whether you say "the world is God," or "God is the world." But if you start from "God" as something that is given in experience, and has to be explained, and then say, "God is the world," you are affording what is to some extent an explanation, in so far as you are reducing what is unknown to what is partly known ( ignotum per notius ); but it is only a verbal explanation. If, however, you start from what is really given, that is to say, from the world, and say, "the world is God," it is clear that you say nothing, or at least you are explaining what is unknown by what is more unknown.
