Pantheism

Is there such a spiritual practice or religion called Pantheism? I regard myself as a spiritual, but not religious person. I've flirted with various schools of Buddhism in the past but feel I want to try and make it my own way. However if I was to describe myself it would be a Pantheist, as I believe that the Universe is God, that there is no seperation from us and God.
I've tried searching on the net for Pantheist sites or groups or whatever, there doesn't seem to be much info.

I bet you'd like Spinoza.

There is such a thing as pantheism, but I don't think it's a spiritual practice or a religion. It's either the view that god and the universe are the exact same thing, or a felt experience of the universe as something that inspires intense awe and wonder, or the result of a Peak experience in which one feels that everything in the universe is connected to everything else, oneself included.

I think that pantheism is a form of spirituality, but I'm not quite sure that it is correct to call it a "practice".

There are different forms of pantheism. Are you more of a scientific pantheism (like Carl Sagan), or more of a religious pantheist?

Greg, if you believe there is no seperation from us and God then do it all yourself, cause every moment of your life will be something between you and God. Doing it all yourself (as you wish it too) is the most fascinating way though it's never easy.

Pantheism exists in certain religious systems of thought.

Perhaps you could develop your own practice that follows the belief? Isn't that what a spiritual path sort of is, everyone finding their own way and their own practices through both common and uncommon beliefs?
