"It's all about the love..."
Panphilosism is a philosophy created in response to a new way of relating to the universe. For most of human history, god-oriented religions have dominated the psychological landscape. We have built temples, shrines, churches, mosques and altars to worship and sacrifice to them. We have prayed to them and gone to war over them. Governments have risen and fallen because of these religions. An ocean of innocent blood has been spilled in the name of the “gods”, who all the while have remained invisible and silent, choosing only to speak though “appointed messengers” and “prophets”.
But men and women of reason and vision have always sought another way of relating to the awe-inspiring and mysterious universe around and within us, a way that does not subjugate their fellow humans or require casting reason aside in favor of “blind faith”. These visionaries have often gone against the conventions of their day to strike out anew, searching for a reasoned and rational way to express and explore the spiritual dimension of humanity. Some have tried to redefine deity, and some have rejected the concept altogether. Some have taken the “human” mask off of the universe and found something far more worthy of reverence than any god; the universe itself.
