    Omnipresence, omnipresence. Can i answer w a question?? Oops, that is already a question Ok, take out the omniscience and omnipotence, and then maybe there is omnipresence.

    Try this: pantheism means everything is god. In that case, the universe as 'god's' body could be compared a bit to the human body. And so, the question, are you present in and aware of everything in your body?

    Some mystics claim that consciousness was the seed of creation. If consciousness continued on as creation was carried out, then omnipresence would be. But, i don't see it as a guaranteed condition.

    Satanus:I was hoping you'd show up

    In Taoist terms, if the void (Yin) and the first creative aspect of consciousness (Yang), make a composite, hence where is the difficulty in these being omnipresent?

    In Christian Mystic terminology you could just as easily describe the fabric of the universe as woven Holy Spirit...

    Dualist v's triune/tripart, but nonetheless omnipresent, yes?

    Perhaps we can combine the two?--

    Omnipresence: God must, by It's own Nature and Being, be universally pervasive;

    Pantheism: Everything must, by virtue of being a part of the Being, be itself a god, as a reflection and part of the God.

    Keep up, Craig. That's why I asked if Pantheism is a form of Omnipresence
    Or are you contending that it works the other way around?

    I don't know about anyone else, but I read that in a Monty Python-esque voice... "logically then...Onacruse...is a witch!" :-D

    Is this a case for African vs European swallows?

    That's really not a case for a man to make LT. That is up to each woman individually, and whether she be African or European has nothing to do with it. :P~

    About the yang, no difficulty. The yin, i'm not so sure, not having read enough in taoism on this to know exactly they define it. Maybe yin yang is the duality about which i have been contemplating. I'll pm you.

    Yes.

    I cannot see any farther than dualism. Perhaps others can see farther/deeper.
