There are sacred moments in
life when we experience in
rational and very direct ways
that separation, the boundary
between ourselves and other
people and between
ourselves and Nature, is
illusion. Oneness is reality.
We can experience that stasis
is illusory and that reality is
continual flux and change on
very subtle and also on gross
levels of perception . .
-Charlene Spretnak
The religious feeling engendered by experiencing
the logical comprehensibility of
profound interrelations is of a somewhat different
sort from the feeling that one
usually calls religious. It is more a feeling
of awe at the scheme that is manifested in
the material universe. It does not lead us
to take the step of fashioning a god-like
being in our own image-a personage who makes
demands of us and who takes an
interest in us as individuals. There is in
this neither a will nor a goal, nor a must, but
only sheer being.
-Albert Einstein
Welcome to the home page of the Baltimore/ Washington, DC Pantheists!
We are a group of natural/ scientific/ non- dualistic pantheists
who live in or around the Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC metropolitan
areas. The Credo of the World Pantheist Movement provides a good general
descrption of our beliefs, but it isn't meant to be taken as set- in- stone dogma.
