haven 't you ever thought that the nature could be the god itself?

    I figure nature is god. I feel there is no difference between spiritual and physical, they are 2 sides to the same coin. they say in the beginning there was nothing but god, then he made the universe. I figure, the only thing to make it out of was himself. (not that I really think it went that way, it's more of a metaphor...).

    Such beliefs are called "pantheism" if you're interested.

    Nature is the Divine, the Earth is the Great Mother, the Divine Feminine,
    the Giver of Life. The Diving Masculine is also present in nature,
    representing the other half of the balance of Nature.

    Nature isnt "god" in the same since that the Christians use
    God. The Christians worship a specific deity, but use the
    general term God to apply to it. That leads to others,
    atheists, agnostics, and others to think in the frame
    of "God" as the Christians speak of.

    There are lots of gods, of many cultures, the Christian
    god being one of them. But Nature, She is the first
    deity of mans worship. She was first in this Earth,
    giving birth to all in it.

    later, with the generations of tribes, and their
    reverence for their ancestors, and other spirits
    of nature, and beyond, other gods have emerged.

    But most tribal gods are the most reveared ancestors
    from early on, and continued worhsip.

    Nature deities were brought into their pantheons,
    from being close to nature, and from migrations
    and mergings with neighboring pantheons.

    The earth being "God" is the root of lots of religons.
    Most religons that are TRULY pagan or celtic are earth god based.

    I do believe that to be true. you can feel it the air, and hear it in the wind blown trees, I think it's the closest we can get to god without leacing the earth.

    I used to believe that, but not anymore. Nature to me is just one of the manifestations of God. God partly is in Nature, because He created her, but God is also outside her, He's too great to be 'trapped' inside Nature.

    Midnight, that last part is very much the core of animistic thought.

    In most animistic beliefs, there is the "Something" that created it all.
    It is unknowable, or at least unexpressable, in our minds.

    That is where the Great Mother, the Earth, comes in. She bore us directly,
    as she was bore from something else. We, and all else on this world, were
    born from Her womb, and it is She that nurtures us. It has been that way
    since the first.

    It was this that man came to realize, and it was She that we first
    gave worship to.

    From that, the tribes began to have their own deities, from heroes, and
    great people, becoming gods to the tribe, to the local nature spirits
    that provided more directly.

    That is the beginnings of the different faiths, even the Judeo-Christian ones.

    But you are right, each planet is its own conscieness, and its children
    give it the same worship we do our Mother.
