Some whose insights inspire pandeism....

"If we see far, it is because we stand on the shoulders of giants...."

Some religions like to "claim" inspiring historical figures as their own, as though just putting the labels on the people overrides the lessons of their lives....

We don't "claim" them as our own.... We merely claim them as our inspiration!!

"God is one; and he himself does not as some suppose, exist outside the world, but in it, he being wholly present in the entire circle... the first principal of all things, the light of heaven, and father of all, the intelligence and animating soul of the universe, the movement of all orbits." ~ Attributed to Pythagorus by Justin Martyr (Pythagorean Sourcebook)

@MySocksSmell2 Thanks for all your quotes!! They are an inspiration themselves!!

@PanDeism After checking sources, I think I made a mistake. The quote supposedly from the Sufi poet Ibn al 'Arabi - (God sleeps in the rock, dreams in the plant, stirs in the animal, and awakens in man) is likely a variation of a quote from German philosopher Friedrich von Schelling (1775-1854) and reads: "Mind sleeps in stone, dreams in the plant, awakes in the animal and becomes conscious in man." Either way, to me, God, Mind and Consciousness are all basically the same concept.

"One grand great life throbs through earth's giant heart, And mighty waves of single Being roll From nerve-less germ to man, for we are part Of every rock and bird and beast and hill, One with the things that prey on us, and one with what we kill." ~ Oscar Wilde (Panthea)

"The One is all things. All things are One." ~ Heraclitus.

"Why will you not admit that the universe is a conscsious intelligence since conscious intelligences are born from it?" ~ Cicero.

"He is hidden, yet obvious everywhere. He is bodiless, yet embodied in everything. There is nothing that he is not." ~ Hermes Trismegistus

"God is not separate from the world; He is the soul of the world, and each of us contains a part of the Divine Fire. All things are parts of one single system, which is called Nature... " ~ Zeno

@PanDeism

:) I am very Happy to learn about The same.

There is a serious conspiracy in the west by Evangelical Missionaries who notoriously are Maligning Pantheism and Atheism with Hitler and Nazis.
