Extractions: This and other similar articles address potential inconsistencies encountered by a certain religious view. While I see them as inconsistencies, for others they may pose no problem at all. For this reason, the articles are entitled "Possible difficulties in [this or that religion]" and not "Contradictions in [this or that religion]". Each of these articles is a list of possible difficulties with short comments aimed at encouraging critical thinking on each issue. Since the duality knower-known is an illusion in pantheism, what could be the meaning of knowledge in the case of the atman-Brahman identity? "Knowing" this identity cannot be a real epistemological process. S. Radhakrishnan states: "As the distinction between the highest self and the individual is one of false knowledge, we get rid of it by true knowledge." (
Pantheism (Stanford Encyclopedia Of Philosophy)
Definition of pantheism from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

Extractions: Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free First published Tue Jun 4, 1996; substantive revision Thu May 17, 2007 The book recognized as containing the most complete attempt at explaining and defending pantheism from a philosophical perspective is Spinoza's Ethics , finished in 1675 two years before his death. In 1720 John Toland wrote the Pantheisticon: or The Form of Celebrating the Socratic-Society in Latin. He (possibly) coined the term "pantheist" and used it as a synonym for "Spinozist." However, aside from some interesting pantheistic sounding slogans (like "Every Thing is to All, as All is to Every Thing"), and despite promising "A short Dissertation upon a Two-fold philosophy of the Pantheists" Toland's work has little to do with pantheism. Where pantheism is considered as an alternative Not all of the problems generated by the theistic notion of God are also problems for pantheism. But given a suitable reformulation, some of them will be. And, as expected, pantheism will also generate some difficulties peculiar to itself. Thus, although evil and creation do not present identical problems for pantheism and theism, and may even be inherent to theism; it may also be possible to reformulate them in a way that makes them applicable to pantheism. There may be pantheistic counterparts to the problem of evil and other classical theistic problems, and perhaps they can be resolved by pantheism.
Pantheism
A description of pantheism, and some common forms.
http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/PANTHEISM.html

Extractions: Pantheism is the philosophy that everything is God (pan="everything" theos="God") or that the universe and nature are divine Pantheism is distinguished from panentheism, which holds that God is in everything, but also transcends the Universe. Strict pantheism is not a theism. It does not believe in a transcendent or personal God who is the creator of the universe and the judge of humans. Many pantheists feel the word "God" is too loaded with these connotations and never use the word in their own practice - though they may use it to simplify, or to explain things to theists. Pantheism has often been accused of atheism , and not just because it rejects the idea of a personal creator God. Strict or naturalistic pantheism believes that the Universe either originated itself out of nothing, or has existed forever. Modern scientific pantheism is materialistic. It believes that design in the universe can be fully accounted for by principles of evolution and self-organization . It does not believe in separate spirits or survival of the soul after death. Pantheists concerned about personal immortality seek it in realistic ways - through children, deeds, works, and the memories of the living.

The name pantheist was introduced by John Toland (1670-1722) in his "Socinianism truly Stated" (1705), while pantheism was first used by his opponent Fay in "Defensio Religionis" (1709). Toland published his "Pantheisticon" in 1732. The doctrine itself goes back to the early Indian philosophy ; it appears during the course of history in a great variety of forms , and it enters into or draws support from so many other systems that, as Professor Flint says ("Antitheistic Theories", 334), "there is probably no pure pantheism". Taken in the strictest sense, i.e. as identifying God and the world, Pantheism is simply Atheism . In any of its forms it involves Monism , but the latter is not necessarily pantheistic.

The term “pantheist” — from which the word “Pantheism” was derived — was purportedly first used in English by Irish writer John Toland in his 1705 work, Socinianism Truly Stated, by a pantheist . He clarified the idea in a 1710 letter to Leibniz when he referred to “the pantheistic opinion of those who believe in no other eternal being but the universe.” However, many earlier writers, schools of philosophy, and religious movements expressed pantheistic ideas. They include some of the Presocratics such as Heraclitus and Anaximander . The Stoics were Pantheists, beginning with

PANENTHEISM VS. PANTHEISM
Why and how Panentheism avoids the pitfalls of pantheism.
http://www.websyte.com/alan/pan.htm

Extractions: The following is an excerpt from New Thought: A Practical American Spirituality , pp. 89-92. Pantheism and Panentheism This universal arrangement is not pantheism (all is God), but panentheism , a term devised by Karl C. F. Krause (1781-1832) to describe his thought. It is best known for its use by Charles Hartshorne and recently by Matthew Fox. Panentheism says that all is in God, somewhat as if God were the ocean and we were fish. If one considers what is in God's body to be part of God, then we can say that God is all there is and then some. The universe is God's body, but God's awareness or personality is greater than the sum of all the parts of the universe. All the parts have some degree of freedom in co-creating with God. At the start of its momentary career as a subject, an experience is Godas the divine initial aim. As the experience carries on its choosing process, it is a freely aiming reality that is not strictly God, since it departs from God's purpose to some degree. Yet everything is within God. The most practical value of pantheism is that it recognizes the presence of God everywhere, but it does this at an enormous cost. It provides for the presence of God as the only actor; God's presence is an overriding presence that cancels the possibility of the existence of anything else, of any genuine beloved, of any loving or unloving response to God. In pantheism, human existence or any other finite existence is at best a mystery. Explanation in any satisfying sense is impossible. There can be affirmation that there is nothing but God, but where that leaves the affirmer is unclear; his or her existence is no more than appearance, and enlightenment brings recognition of one's illusory status as a unique, permanent perspective in reality.

Extractions: It is important here to bear in mind Carl Sagan's definition of spirituality: 'the human relationship to the numinous.' Naturalistic pantheists feel that the numinous need not be any supernatural ether or non-material essence - in fact it is hard to imagine anything more numinous than the vibrantly creative reality of matter/energy, whether it is seen as a manifestation of something deeper or as the most fundamental reality in and of itself.
