Pantheism
Divine universe doctrine
Pantheism is the belief that God and the universe are identical—that divinity is not a separate being but the totality of existence itself.
Nature, matter, and consciousness are all manifestations of the divine.
The view contrasts with theism, which posits a God distinct from creation.
Spinoza's philosophy is often characterized as pantheism.
