There Are Gods Among Us

The law of attraction only begins to explain the cosmic truths. The Law of attraction states that thoughts become reality. True enough; but what does that mean? Beyond its mysterious ability to grant riches, and love; what is this awesome force? Three philosophies come to mind that address this issue.

The first of these philosophies is monism. The philosophy dictionary states, "monism is the thesis that all of reality is of one kind." Monism maintains that a single basic substance accounts for all of creation. By contrast, dualism contends there are two substances. That being mind and matter. Monism makes no distinction between the two. All things are equal in the universe.

The second philosophy of relevance to this discussion is pantheism. With respect to its meaning, the philosophy dictionary tells us "God is identical with the world." Many "spiritualists" (anyone can be a spiritualist) use the wordUniverse to refer to God. They believe that the universe is the physical manifestation of God. God is said to reside within creation itself. This is an enlightened view of God. It indicates that if God is everything, then we are God.What are the implications of this far-reaching statement?

Finally, we have the theory of panpsychism. This philosophy dictionary states that panpsychism is the belief "that all material entities possess a degree of mind." This means that all things in the universe possess consciousness, from a pebble to a planet. Panpsychism is a lesser-known philosophy. It is not widely accepted, as people have a hard time believing that a paper clip could have consciousness or perhaps even feelings. It takes an open mind to accept a theory so radically different from mainstream thinking.

What does all of this mean? It's possible to put these theories together to form a unique perspective on the nature of reality.
•God is one substance.
•God is everything.
•God can divide into independent functioning units.
