PANTHEISM

Pantheism is the religious worldview of the East ie Hunduism, Buddhism and Taoism.  Pantheists view reality as having one dimension, a spirtual dimension-one energy field "Reality is unity without individuality".

The guiding ideal for life in Hinduism and Buddhism is to achieve experiential unity with the One universal spirit.  This is done through meditation.  Meditation has different stages. The beginning stage is the practice stage.  The end stage is to achieve consciousness of being in tune with the one energy field.

The pantheistic worldview makes no distinction between good and evil in human nature. Moral distinctions between good and evil is seen to be the existence of opposites,  therefore no distinction between good and evil is possible.   However their guiding priniciple and values lie in their desire to enter the highest stage of meditation. This requires them to seek wisdom and enlightenment.
