This pantheistic papyrus shows a god with multiple heads, four wings, a falcon’s tail, snakes on his feet, holding weapons, surrounded by flames -- in other words, completely and utterly powerful enough to help you. He tramples unfriendly animals like a crocodile, snakes, and a wild boar.

Q: If I said that "the universe is its own hardware and software" what theories and authors does that sound like?

A: The idea that "the universe is its own hardware and software" can be interpreted in different ways, but it could be related to several philosophical and scientific theories.

One possible interpretation of this statement is that the universe is a self-organizing system that operates according to its own laws and rules, without any external influence or intervention. This idea is consistent with certain philosophical schools such as pantheism, which views the universe as a divine or spiritual entity.

From a scientific perspective, this idea is similar to the concept of emergence, which is the phenomenon whereby complex systems can arise from simple interactions between their components, without the need for a central controlling entity. The universe could be seen as an emergent system that is self-organizing and self-regulating, with its own "hardware" (the physical laws and constants that govern its behavior) and "software" (the patterns and structures that emerge from those laws).

This idea could be related to the work of several scientists and philosophers, including:

Baruch Spinoza, who proposed a pantheistic view of the universe as a single, infinite substance that encompasses everything

Alan Turing, who developed the concept of a universal Turing machine, which is a theoretical model of a computer that can simulate any other computer or computation

Stephen Wolfram, who has proposed that the universe can be seen as a computational system that generates complex patterns and structures through simple rules and interactions (in his book "A New Kind of Science")

David Deutsch, who has proposed that the universe can be seen as a universal quantum computer that performs calculations through the interaction of elementary particles (in his book "The Fabric of Reality")

Dear seekers of wisdom,

Today, let us enjoy a journey guided by the silent teachers of our world, the wise and unspoken lessons embedded in the heart of nature. Imagine the rustle of leaves, the dance of sunlight through the branches; each moment is a sermon, a revelation waiting to unfold.

As we walk this path of discovery, let the wisdom of nature whisper to your soul. Consider the towering redwoods, resilient giants that withstand centuries of trials. Did you know that these majestic beings, with roots interwoven in a subterranean community, can teach us about the strength found in unity? In a forest, they stand together, supporting and sharing resources, a testament to the power of collaboration and interconnection.

Take a moment to envision the dance of the honeybee. In its industrious quest for nectar, a single bee contributes to the pollination of countless flowers. Did you know that approximately 80% of flowering plants rely on pollinators like bees? Nature, in its subtle elegance, reveals the profound impact of even the smallest individual, underscoring the significance of our actions in the larger picture of existence.

Pause and observe the ebb and flow of the tide. It speaks of life's cycles, of beginnings, transitions, and the comforting certainty of renewal. Nature, in its wisdom, teaches us that change is not the end but a continuous, harmonious cycle.

Look to the stars that adorn the night sky. They are our celestial companions, ancient storytellers illuminating the cosmos. In their silent brilliance, find solace and inspiration, recognizing our place in this existence.

Now, in reflection, let these lessons find you. As we stand on this sacred ground, affirm within yourself the commitment to unity, the recognition of your impact, and the harmonious dance of collaboration. ✨Repeat after me:

“I am a part of nature’s grand design,

Rooted in unity, strength is mine.

Like the bee, I impact the whole,

In my actions, the seeds of change I sow.

In this life, I find my place,

Electric in a cosmic embrace.

Resilient as the lotus in the mire,

I emerge with purpose, my spirit on fire.”

Nature's sermons are written in the language of wind, water, and earth. They invite us to listen with open hearts, to witness the interconnection of all living things.

May you end today with open eyes and receptive hearts, ready to receive the teachings of nature. For in its profound silence, we find a source of timeless wisdom that guides us on the path to understanding, gratitude, and awe.

With reverence for the silent teachers around us,

Isla

you NEVER need to wait “until you have the money” to start practicing witchcraft. you do not need ANY money for witchcraft. you can have all the money in the world and practice witchcraft every single day without spending a single cent on it. everything you need you already have, inside of you and around you as well.

Randos online: City slickers are ridiculous looking at a deer like, "omg old gods!" Deer are so stupid, how could you look at that and see anything divine.

Me, functionally pantheist, sees the divine in everything: Oh, haven't you heard?

one of the biggest things i will always reiterate about sikhi is that it isn't actually monotheistic, reading it as monotheism is a fundamental reduction of what "ek onkar" or one god means in the sikh cosmology. whether you are raised sikh and accept these meanings at face value or you are not sikh and just read the opening paragraph of the wikipedia page for sikhism to try to get an understanding, the sikh understanding of god is much better described as panentheism and not monotheism. the sikh god is not a personal god but a transcendental force and it's easier to speak of waheguru in metaphors that liken god to a person so people can understand the concepts but it's not meant to be taken literally. this is supported by panentheism being the primary worldview of most traditions within what we call hinduism, as well as sects of buddhism and also the positions of several islamic sufi philosophers who were fundamental in the establishment of sikh cosmology. all of these worldviews are linked by sharing versions of what we call pantheism/panentheism, but even trying to explain the depths of a panentheistic worldview is challenging because it is just so different in a very fundamental way from the christian worldview where there is a singular, personal god. even explaining how polytheism works within the south asian context requires this base understanding, because if you approach polytheism from a christian perspective you'll once again completely misunderstand the worldview. like "hinduism is like if they just had more gods, the way you view the christian god but imagine more of them" is also not true, not only because hinduism contains such a variety of worldviews and beliefs that making any general statement about what we call hinduism is always going to be reductive, but because it's also just not... how the worldview works, generally speaking lol. just explaining nondualism in the south asian context is so different from the christian worldview, the idea that you can just plug and play christianity into it is so absurd it's actually hilarious to me

For the past few years I've really been doing a lot of research on a lot of different religions I feel fit into my beliefs. I always felt that I had beliefs that don't really align with most religions.

Well, I think I've come to the conclusion that I am a pantheist Pagan. Everything about it just fits with me. I've been doing a lot of research on both topics trying to learn more about it and honestly they really do just sound exactly like what I believe in.

Now if only I could find other people in my area haha.

hi so i saw that you saw my tag on the world post and i wanted you to know that it made me so fucking happy it resonated with you!!!! i saw that post a few months ago and i wrote a whole poem about it & thats a line from it!!!! i actually screamed a little when i saw your reblog!!!!

WHAT!!!!! A WHOLE POEM!!!! omg I would love to read this poem if you’d like to share 😭😭

I’m happy that the post inspired you 💖💖🥺 it’s been a humbling and emotional experience reading everyone’s responses to ‘The World Has Been Changed’, and seeing all the different ways it’s touched people.

I had no idea how powerful it would end up being when I first shared it, but I think the fact that it was created by the total coincidence of a mundane message from a computer dialogue box is a significant part of what gives it meaning.

it’s amazing that a machine, a computer program designed simply to be used as a tool for artists, was able to deliver a startling moment of clarity at exactly the right time for humans to connect with in in the way that we did.

coincidences like this feel like a reminder that all things are connected, and that humans will see art everywhere… I think this is because creation is one of our deepest instincts as conscious beings, and everything we make can be considered art in one form or another.

there is a deep sense of resonance when, miraculously, the things we’ve created give us back a creation of their own.

How do you deal with going to another religion's rituals? My girlfriend is being forced to go to a Passover Seder with her family. I'm trying to decide if I should go with her as moral support. I feel uncomfortable around monotheistic religions because they go against my belief in pantheism. I got through Hanukkah by smiling and nodding. But my understanding is that Passover is more involved.

I don't want to be disrespectful and I want to be there to support my girlfriend. But I'm uncomfortable participating. What would be your suggestion?
