Extractions: Conclusion Search Now: Modern Pantheism Among the varied and heterogeneous forms which the spirit of mysticism assumes, none, perhaps, has been more imposing, as seeming to connect itself with philosophical views, than Pantheism. The opinions of Spinoza were, at least in part, probably derived from speculations of a far higher antiquity, which influenced not only the Greek philosophy (as before remarked) but the more ambitious and transcendental systems of the orientals. Thus, in modern times, there has been a strong leaning to such ideas on the part of men whose profound classical learning, and knowledge of the ancient philosophies was uncorrected by imbibing the more positive ideas and defining tendencies of modern physics [See Sewell's "Horae Platonicae," p. 312] : and even those who, on religious grounds, have strenuously rejected Pantheism, have yet been disposed to concede the high philosophical and transcendental character of a speculation so essentially visionary and full of moral contradictions. But to return to the domains of real science, to breathe the free air of philosophical truth, we advance to a great modern epoch.

Extractions: by Robert E. Dreier One of the most ardent advocates of Pantheism was the 17th Century Dutch Philosopher, (Benedict) Baruch Spinoza. A later-day avitar and former Rosicrucian philosopher, Fr. Ralph Lewis also made several references to Spinoza in many of his writings. The first citation noted was in Chapter V of his work, 'Mental Alchemy'. In that chapter Lewis discusses Mystical Pantheism. Also, in his work 'Conscious Interlude' in Chapter III -Inquiry into Knowledge, he delves into some of the epistemology (theory of knowledge), which leads a student to Mystical Pantheism. And in 'Sanctuary of Self', Chapter IV - Love and Desire, he discusses the love of God from a pantheistic point of view.

Extractions: In terms of "Tintern Abbey"'s naturalistic depiction of nature's interconnection with the universe and humanity, the poem reveals Samuel Taylor Coleridge and John Thelwall's implicit influence upon Wordsworth's development as both a writer and naturalist poet. Similar to Wordsworth, for instance, John Thelwall illuminates the organic spur of the human frame and other life forms in his scientific prose, such as found in his celebrated medical essay, Towards A Definition of Animal Vitality (1793). Thelwall's "cosmic-monism" fuses the workings of the human body to the movements of heaven and earth a holistic interconnection of the organic to the inorganic. His connection to Wordsworth through Coleridge serves to partially explain the inherent pantheistic vision in "Tintern Abbey"'s 1798 composition. In a letter written in October of 1797, Coleridge expresses this way of seeing nature to Thelwall, stating that
