spiritual evolution....

I can't recall off the top of my head which book it was that introduced me to the term "panentheism", but once I came across it I recognized it as my own views of God. In panentheism, God is seen as both transcendent and immanent, both beyond and within. This is the true traditional stance of Christianity, but in recent centuries only the transcendent aspect has been emphasized.

I've since dropped my identification with animism. I realized that, in panentheism, the concept of animism simply becomes superfluous and unnecessary. It's rendered irrelevant.
