Marcus Aurelius on Holistic Pantheism

[gurthbruins]

Austin Alexander on the FaceBook group 'Pantheism':

"Constantly think of the Universe as one living creature, embracing one being and one soul; how all is absorbed into the one consciousness of this living creature; how it compasses all things with a single purpose, and how all things work together to cause all that comes to pass, and their wonderful web and texture."

~Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 4.40

I'm amazed you had it sewn up so HOLISTIC-PANTHEISTICALLY so many centuries ago, Marcus! And so tersely and briefly, compared to Spinoza's clumsy complications! Your meditation has never been equalled, let alone bettered.
