It places life, not death, in the focus of our concern. A mind fully awake to nature, open to new knowledge, responsive to the beauty of the natural world. Pantheism fosters a sane and whole mind that respects reason and evidence, that will not accept key beliefs without rational basis, simply on the claims of ancient scripture or the assertion of gurus. Pantheism demands no faith in impossible events and secret revelations. Pantheism satisfies our need to revere something greater than ourselves - yet never turns its back on the earth, and never departs from the evidence before us.
Pantheism fuses spirituality and science, mind and body, humans and nature.
The body is seen as a temporary container for the soul, or as a disgusting bag of foul substances. Pantheism has a totally positive attitude. The body is natural and is sacred like every other part of nature. Its pleasures are good and not evi, as long as they are pursued without harm to one's health, to other humans or to nature. Looking after the body, preserving its health and fitness through a healthy diet and exercise, are things we can and should do without slinking feelings of guilt.
