I agree that our minds are built to believe, to have faith. We couldn't survive otherwise; we can't go through the process of questioning every cause and effect and rebuilding our reality from first principles every time we hear a noise we don't recognize. Our brains are evolved to do the minimum amount possible to accomplish the goal of survival, and that includes attributing causes to things even if we don't actually know the cause.
Anyway, another reason a flavour of pantheism appeals to me because reality itself is the target of faith. Well maybe not faith, but hope. Hope for the future which I'm not going to get to see, for my fellow humans, for our understanding of it all. |
Good posit!
So let me see if I get this right...you dislike the position of spirituality, yet consider the possibilities of Pantheism?
Pantheism translated is
"God is everything and everything is God … the world is either identical with God or in some way a self-expression of his nature".
Sounds almost like a "
naturalistic spirituality" to me LOL.
Sorry...really!
I do understand your position...really!
