The idea that the divine (a single deity or gods and goddesses) is immanent in Nature; that spirit and matter are intertwined.
Immanence is more logical than ontological transcendence as a hypothesis for the nature of deities.
1. Consciousness is an emergent property of matter/life, AND there is nothing outside the universe.
2. therefore, any deity/ies that exist must be immanent in the physical universe. (OR non-existent)
3. therefore it could be said that the physical universe (if it can be said to be conscious in any way) is its/their physical appearance.
4. You are made of the same stuff as the universe (every atom in your body was once part of a star), and you have consciousness (spirit in religious language).
5. If consciousness/spirit is the main attribute of deity, then you are a god/dess.
