New Pantheism
First, what is pantheism? Pantheism is the philosophy that the universe/nature itself, is God, and or a manifestation of God. The prefix “pan” comes from the Greek word “pas” meaning “all.”

New Pantheism is the evolution of pantheism. Essentially, pantheism for modern intellectuals. Unlike general, overly broad, “pantheism,” New Pantheism offers an explanation of what the universe is, a model of how the universe (God) works, who “we” are in relation to the universe (God), and a road map for achieving fulfillment/inlightment in the modern world. The details of which are fully explained in, Book, Website

Elevator explanation: The crux and or foundation of New Pantheism is that consciousness is the irreducible foundation of the universe. Meaning, everything that happens in the universe is a result of consciousness. That consciousness, which is the foundation of everything in the universe, is given the title “God.” In the same way, someone who runs a country, the number one person in which all power rests, could be given the title “king.” “God” is just the title we give to an observable phenomenon in the universe that is also called consciousness. It is that consciousness that is the foundation of the universe.

This might incorrectly imply that God is limited to being just the foundation of the universe rather than the universe itself, in its entirety. A good example of why this is not true is the following- When you dream, there are endless possibilities of characters and objects that can show up in the dream. Some of the characters in the dream can even seem to work against you. Despite the fact that all these “different” characters and objects are in your dream, all of it is still you (the conscious observer). Everything created in your dream from characters to objects are just manifestations of one consciousness; you. You/your consciousness, is the foundation of that dream world. So everything in your dream is you; consciousness. In the same way, despite the fact that there are so many different characters and objects in the universe, they are all still that one consciousness. So everything is God, that one foundational consciousness.
