I do not exactly know what the title of this post means, but this thought occurred to me while I was studying the ideas of Spinoza tonight. Spinoza wrote of essences and modes and more complications that probably lose much in translation and post-modern framing of such issues. Spinoza was on the right track, but went wrong when he decided that there is nothing in creation worthy of awe. Anyway…
God is the fact that the universe exists.
Hmmm.
Because there is existence, there is God. Existence and God are co-arising, existence and God inter-are.
I am not competent or patient enough to explain the difference between pantheism and non-dualism, so I leave it here for now, with one final observation.
Pantheists don’t seem to mention love very much…
