pantheistiset

Pantheistiset is a term that refers to pantheistic beliefs or pantheistic adherents. Pantheism is a philosophical and theological doctrine that equates God with the universe, and the universe with God. In this view, God is not a transcendent being separate from the cosmos, but rather the immanent substance or animating force of all reality. The word "pantheism" itself comes from the Greek words "pan" meaning "all" and "theos" meaning "god".

Those who identify as pantheistiset may hold a variety of specific understandings of this core concept. Some may conceive of the universe as a divine organism, while others might view it as a divine mind. The emphasis is generally on the interconnectedness of all things and the sacredness of the natural world. Pantheistiset perspectives often reject the idea of a personal God who intervenes in human affairs or offers salvation in a traditional religious sense. Instead, spiritual fulfillment is often found through contemplation of nature, ethical living, and a deep appreciation for existence itself.

Pantheistic ideas have appeared in various forms throughout history and across different cultures, though the term itself was popularized in the 18th century. It is distinct from panentheism, which posits that God is in the universe but also transcends it. For pantheistiset, the divine is wholly contained within the totality of existence.
