How I Became A Pantheist-Part 1 of 3

Part 1 of 3 of a mini-series where I discuss how I went from being a theist, to agnostic, to an atheist, and then finally to a pantheist. I also introduce a new term "panmeism" which I now use to convey the idea of being the universe.

Thank you for sharing. I cannot understand how you can be so sure about pantheism though, since this is something you have come to believe from within yourself. At least those of the (I use this term loosely) 'Christian' faith have the Bible, as their basis of authority. It is grammatically and historically accurate from cities to people to measurements to dates. What is your basis, your foundation? If you have one, besides your own mind, I would be interested.

@911MrGuitar Yes, I became a pantheist due to a whole range of personal thoughts and experiences, along with what I learned during my formal education, all which I hope to share bit-by-bit in future videos. Part 2 and 3 of this video series, along with other videos I've already posted should help explain my views to some degree. This series was mainly focused on my overall spiritual journey and wasn't intended to include all the reasoning or logic I used to come to my pantheistic conclusions.

i don't consider pantheism as any organized religion. it is the truth. people who decided to become pantheist are people who have the courage to set aside what the society had brought to them, be in one with the nature, the universe, listen and learn from the silent truth that connects them to the others. ever wonder why most of us has had that belief even without reading about pantheism? people became christians, hindus, muslims, etc., because of influences around them.

@TantusThutmose You expressed a lot of wonderful thoughts in your comment, which I appreciated. I agree that most of us are instinctively pantheistic from birth, and that it is only as we get older that many become confused by all the misinformation we are all constantly bombarded with, primarily by the human race. I also agree that it takes courage to break free from one's instilled religion or from the conditioning by one's society. I hope many find that courage!

Guyus, I love this video and you're awesome but I have to point out that you sound like a cross Mr. Rogers and Snoop Dawg. Kinda like Cleveland from Family Guy.

[GuyusSeralius]

@Devidedistand I'm hoping my voice, being a cross between Mr. Rogers and Snoop and similar to Cleveland's, is a good thing, or at least okay:) The first two seem to have a relaxing, calm tone. I've also been told that I sound and look a lot like Sheldon on "The Big Bang Theory." Both Cleveland and Sheldon sound like they have a slight southern accent, which I guess I still have being born and raised in the South. I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!

I Actually like the term panoneism, though I would probably spell it panenism or panenaism.

the same here. i grew up in a religious family. i started to question who created god when i was 9. i was a pantheist too before i read about pantheism.

[djk4tt]

glad you found truth, brother. and i like many other 'pantheists' stumbled upon the definition in time. i've held the same beliefs as long as i can remember and i too am blessed that i had the freedom to choose my own belief system.

keep it real.

I went from materialist monism to pantheism, without losing but only gaining beliefs. If everything is made of the same stuff, then the only difference between things is their structure, but all possible structures can be represented by the monochrome canvas of reality. Given the reality of all possible structures, there is a structure that is conscious, knows everything, and thus holds all realities in it's mind, a fractal representation of the whole. The mind of God.

I stopped at "balance" and just laughed. I've been pondering for what seems like days and came to the same word. Great video.
