Thanks MrMystrO, it's probably better that I kick off with my understanding of what Pantheism stands for, I do not see that there’s a universal pantheistic definition. Rather I consider the term more a catch-all for a very wide range of theological and philosophical disciplines emanating from different schools of thought as wide and divergent as Heraclitus of Ephesus to Marcus Aurelius, Nietzsche to Spinoza and even Wordsworth. That said, as a practitioner of Tantra I find that Pantheism is also a form of an expression of the Vedanta, therefore, for me Tantra is the ultimate expression of Pantheism. That is a cosmic-view that I identify with.

To further elaborate, the great Poet John Donne in his acclaimed poem, ‘No man is an island’ wrote :

“ Every man is a part of the continent, a part of the main………..any man’s death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind….”

And the Pre-Socratic Greek Philosopher Heraclitus taught that:

“moreover we step into the river and out of the river as different beings” and then he went on to say:
“Gods are mortal, humans immortal, living their death, dying their life.”

These two streams of thought, one modern and one ancient for me sums up the total Pantheistic view, one represents the inter-connectivity and inter-dependence of beings in a closed system, and the other quite simply, that everything changes, nature itself is change flowing ever onwards, and even the nature of the flow changes.

I think of the Pantheist concept of Divinity more as a moving spirit or awareness that permeates the universe, that is sentient, and represents the sum total of all that has been before, all that is, and all that will be. Not unlike the Christian God, but not as a universal after-thought but rather fore-thought and most definitely without the subjective anthropomorphism and the earth-bound limitations of a religious deity. And then imagine that any sentient being forms a part of this awareness.

This is Gold. You're definitely the most enlightened Being i have come across on this forum.. Possibly in my life. Still i do have a few questions..

Let's start with this one. In the two streams of pantheist thought that you highlighted, Which one resonates more with you? i kinda find the one centered on Change i.e. Everything changes and is change ever flowing onwards..i kinda find that resonating with me more than the closed system concept. Which one do you believe a more Universal Truth between the two?

Meritocracy:
Do you also think anything good can come from Obasanjo, he practically ruled us for 11years and fail, so what do you expect from failure. They should all pack well. Obasanjo that can't win councillorship election in his ward.

Uhhm yeah i do agree with you on your opinion about Obasanjo, but that still doesn't Answer my Question. I'll ask again, What Do you Suggest Should be Done? Allow the status quo to continue? if so then no problem but answer first.

Sarassin:
Gosh, can't believe I missed this thread, I should be along as soon as opportuned.

Wow thanks sir.. Your contribution is duly awaited.

Mujtahida:
Well I don't like tags. Used to be a Christian, jettisoned it and now I believe in the universe, in nature. My views of God are kinda pagan and earth bound

I see.. Well that's Good enough.. As long as you can Rationalize the meaning of your Existence with a Broad concept of your perception of the Universe, It'll definitely Do

I really didn't like tags also, But since i don't want to identify as an atheist and after going through all the sub branches of theism, i think Pantheism sticks more to me than all others because it is the one that easily makes more rational sense to me. I identify with it Easily.. so to speak.

vaxx:

Hey

Thanks for dropping by

Mujtahida:
So long as our current conceptions of God as defined by the major religions persist man will never be free, he will never grow up into full dignity of his personhood. God, that God is against man.

Very Right.. Lovely Contribution! Are you a pantheist?

Kophschmerzen:
Go f***k yourself.

Aiii maan.. Have a lovely day.

Lordswazz:
They don't need to fight them sir. They offered "economic aid" to Ukraine, and their then DULY ELECTED president rejected the aid saying he preferred the close ties with Russia to remain intact.
The 21st century colonists, otherwise known as the 'west' now employed the oldest trick in the book needed to oust a government; "Revolution". Now i had to put revolution in quotes cos that thing that happened in the Ukraine was anything but a true revolution.
In a matter of days, every western press you know on the planet, from BBC to CNN were all there, trying to blow what just a few dozen or at most one hundred disgruntled people who were handpicked started out of proportion, and the rest is history.
The "government" that was arranged by the west just after Yanukovich ran for safety accepted the "economic aid" and that was the first step. Bro the second step would have been to start discussing "Ukrainian safety" from its "rogue neighbours" and planting a nuclear shield and possibly one with attack capabilities right in the direction of Russia. Na there them for dey free to roam the world and do whatever they wish because literally no one fit talk.
That was the reason putin had to take back the closest landmass to his border, being Crimea, for the safety of his country and its people. Of course the west wouldn't tell you all these. They would only talk about the "forceful annexation", which they used as a basis to start sanctioning Russia. They didn't need to deploy guys to fight. They attacked the Russian economy with the sanctions and that, they believe, has far greater impact.

Thank You for this piece. The western Media has succeeded in Brainwashing so called "Educated" people and sufficiently stripped them of their ability to Think for themselves instead of allowing others think for them. Isn't it obvious that anyone who doesn't suck up to the west is labeled a terrorist and and once you suck up to them and do their bidding, You're exonerated of all Your crimes and evil. The greatest Lie people have been led to believe is that America and their European allies actually care about the Ordinary citizens of Rest of the World.. NO THEY DONT!!! All they care about is World Domination and Nothing More. The USA do not want Allies, what they want is Vassals. Thank God we have Russia to serve as a bump to America's Monopolistic Agenda of World Control. Once again, Thanks for baring out some facts for everyone to see.

LibertyRep:
Gathering of the same opportunist hawks that bleed Nigeria to her knees.

All of them. Yeah. Anyone that has held any political post is guilty and I do not see the solution coming from them.

How can a former governor who benefited immensely from the infamous security vote and other sundry allowances to the detriment of his state now begin to pose as the messiah?

How do we explain a former NASS member who enjoyed the outrageous allowances in the hallowed chamber without qualms now begins to chant new songs.

Let's not even talk about OBJ, the one who had the opportunity on the platter of Gold to salvage the nation but blew it.

All of them are guilty, including the current anti-corruption chanters

Ok. So please can you suggest what you think should be done..?

Kophschmerzen:
With the posts here it's easy to conclude that many folks on this forum are simpletons with the IQ of a doorknob.

Ego.. is the downfall of a man My Friend.

Even the most intelligent people who lived on earth way before you were born were all in Sync with the Fact that No matter how much we think we know, in Reality we know Nothing.

Deflate your ego my friend, For it is a Fools Weapon and Not a weapon for the Wise.

Ogun Lakaaye Oshimale bless you Vladimirovich Putin - our almighty saviour. Kick out those british bastards & parasites troubling the entire continents with their lies, propaganda & abomination.

And If they go beyond the threshold of logic & common sense due to their insatiable greed to dominate & plunder the rest of the world, let them all die from the barrels of Mother Russia's nuclear launchers.

Volodya - The irunmoles are solidly behind you. The anglo-zionist empire must crumble!

Your signature is Soo deep and Definitely Not far from the truth.

The United States of America is The chief Sponsor of terrorism in the world and it's sad that Majority of the people in the world are Oblivious to this fact.

oneolajire:
I has not yet nullified the fact that everyone calls Jesus his Lord. Where are those idols you call gods? They no more because they didn't create anything. Jesus is the Lord over the idols

OK

nwabobo:
This "no credible alternative" magana that you people want to use to return the imbecilic nonentity to Aso Rock will not work.

Kingsley Moghalu, Fela Durotoye, Adamu Garba are all in the race. Is Buhari better than any of them?

Forget that even a goat is better than Buhari not to talk of a competent Atiku.

Kingsley moghalu is Extra Qualified and will have my vote Any day.. If only we can create more awareness about him to Nigerians..

Do you know that the month you're in now is named after Mars.. the Roman God of war which was gotten from the greek God of war ares?

Do you know that The month April was gotten from the greek Goddess Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and beauty?

Do you know that All the months and days were mostly named after Greek and Germanic Gods respectively??

I guess you didn't know all these so before we take you serious, Denounce completely and Stop Using the Normal names of months and days to count your dates and maybe, just maybe, We might take you serious. Have a wonderful "Sunday" sir.

Hahahahahahahaha.
Look at how they have spent almost half of the day online arguing,
Pathetic excuse of men

You sound like you have a Personal General hatred for men.. That's not a Real feminist trait you know??

My advice - Try to work on and let go of any personal vendetta you've got against men and maybe just maybe, you could be objective enough be referred to as a "Feminist". Enjoy your day dear.

Black Women, Know your History and your culture, Learn it, Keep it!! Don't let the white man and his ways influence your realm of thought.. Know the Difference between your Ancient ancestors and theirs.


You were Powerful Queens, They were Not!

Ladyhippolyta88:
Don't mind her.Not every woman can share her husband and besides in other to reduce over population I don't think polygamy should be encouraged.You rarely find peace and unity in such homes.

Not every woman can share her husband with different women, Very true. I think the problem with her post is Generalizing the advice for ALL men if They Can Instead of The ones Who NEED to if They Can. And i say this always, same way some women cannot share their men, what happens to a man who can't live with just one woman and doesn't want to play games?? And so i believe sensitive issues like this have to be balanced in order to suit the views of everyone. Monogamy and Polygamy can exist side by side without dragging everyone into a murky fight.. You're a liberal mind and i expect you to understand this.

This match go end 4-0 finally.

Lol it Has Begun...

Up Chelsea!!!

WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITH MOURINHO AS A COACH AND I MAINTAIN THAT TILL NOW! I CANT EVEN WATCH MY TEAM PLAY ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY PLAY THE MOST NEGATIVE FOOTBALL IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE. TRASH TRASH TRASH!!!

Well i said it earlier, and it's Exactly what i expected. I have nothing else to say other than we have a Coward and a Dunce as a coach. Enjoy guys.

Darammliveth:
