Five Principles of Panphilosism 

1.  We live in an interactive universe. Nothing exists in a vacuum. Everything we think, do and say is affected by and also affects the universe around us, in both small and large ways.

2.  There is a living energy that flows freely throughout the universe. It is positive, loving, supportive and creative.

3. The universe is a creative organism, in that it can act to cause changes to occur within its established framework of physical laws, cycles, patterns, systems and processes. Its overall nature is one of balance and progress.

4.  Human beings are designed to have unique and interactive relationship with the universe. Beyond our “ego-identity” there is a larger consciousness we possess that connects with the universe.

5.  There is a communion between the universe and every living thing in it.  Humans can perceive this communion through intuition, insight and inspiration and can actively engage in it through meditation, retreats into the natural world and the responsible and reverential use of certain psychoactive plants.
