    Here is the logic of my belief in divinity.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divinity

    1) I am conscious.
    2) I am part of "The Whole".
    3) "The Whole" is part Me.
    4) "The Whole" is part conscious.

    5) "The Whole" consists of all things.
    6) "The Whole" is conscious of all things.

    Since “The Whole” has conscious of its own that would imply Panentheism
    not Pantheism.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panentheism

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheism

    Advaita has related ancient history.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advaita_Vedanta

    I do realize religions have histories of encounters with divinity.
    Here observing anything is observing divinity.

    As far as religious life skills I am a universalist. For me the value of
    the skill is more important than the source. I think appreciation works
    both ways.

    Thanks Dale. Please let me know if I'm mistaken.

    I think you are right.

    There is a gap between (5) and (6).

    While I am pursuing this I will stick with (1) through (4).

    1) I am conscious.
    2) I am part of "The Whole".
    3) "The Whole" is part Me.
    4) "The Whole" is part conscious.

    These still imply "The Whole" has some kind of consciousness.

    Since “The Whole” has conscious of its own that would imply Panentheism
    not Pantheism.
