Pantheism updated

The Pantheist’s no difference non-position

The pantheist’s GOD takes no position hence happens prior to difference. Lacking difference the pantheist’s GOD cannot make a difference.

The henotheist’s God takes a position, hence emerges difference. Different, he can make a difference.

In the dualistic, because differential thus relative everyday world the henotheist’s God decides and wins the day. In this world the pantheist’s GOD’s contribution is deemed irrelevant.

1. i.e. the basic (i.e. non-particular, thus absolute because unlimited) procedure, same for or common to all (thus monist), that enables the emergence of all limited thus identifiable realities including this or that (selected) God and all gods. 2. i.e. because specifically unconstrained, unlimited, thus unordered. The pantheist’s GOD procedure is symbolized with the 0 because it’s the same for all. Because this GOD takes no particular position His action is uncertain. Compare the notion of the nirguna (i.e. no attributes) Brahman of the Upanishads. 3. For ‘difference’ read: communicable attribute or mode. Lacking difference the pantheist’s GOD is indifferent. 4. The henotheist’s (selected) God (example: Exodus 20:3, to wit: ‘That shalt have no other gods before me.’) operates as particular (i.e. selective, thus relative) procedure (or algorithm) of constraints or rules that emerges a particular (thus dualistic) identifiable reality. This God (compare the notion of the saguna (I.e. with attributes) Brahman of the Upanishads) is symbolized with the digit 1 (and of which n emerge) and which is certain. 5. Because basic, i.e. common, same; whereby sameness is compressed out and only difference affects.
