divine immanence
Sacred presence everywhere
Divine immanence is the theological concept that God or the divine exists within and throughout the physical world, rather than being separate from it.
This stands in contrast to divine transcendence, which emphasizes God's existence beyond or outside creation.
Religions and philosophies that stress immanence see the sacred as present in nature, human experience, and everyday life.
Pantheists take divine immanence to its logical extreme, holding that God and the universe are identical.
