God is All we are in God, I see it this way, panpsychism? imo, makes sense.If a god is omnipresent, would it then also imply panpsychism?

where word "ALL" fits.so then is it pantheism, or panentheism?
If a god is omnipresent, would it then also imply panpsychism?
how about intelligence then?Only if you believe "god" implies "consciousness." The case can certainly be made, but "consciousness" is such a nebulous and overused word, I'm not sure application of the term is very useful.

I suppose I could say yes, but that would be a bit disingenuous. I believe there is one mind which creates an infinite number of images. There is no mind in the images, but they are of and in mind.If a god is omnipresent, would it then also imply panpsychism?
Haha... that word is just about as problematic as "consciousness" in being nebulous and overused.
OK, so from your perspective could you think of something less nebulous and overused that might be fitting.Haha... that word is just about as problematic as "consciousness" in being nebulous and overused.

i'm always open to other perspectives
I'm not sure I have a different word that would retain the spirit of what you were getting at.
One of the issues I have with words like "intelligence" and "consciousness" is that they are umbrella terms. There are so many different forms they take, but it's a one-size-fits-all word in terms of how we use it. The "consciousness" (if you want to use that word) of an omnipresent entity is dramatically different than the "consciousness" of a river, a squirrel, or a human. If they are so different from one another, does it make sense to use the same word? If it does, what does that word really mean, then?
I don't have a good answer.

i've seen the twinkle in an eye. i've seen what love can do to ignite a person to risk it all. love is fire. let your light/fire shine before men.@Fool
I notice your Religion: Light Impressed with Love
I'm curious have you ever seen white light radiate from within people outward., also have you ever felt fire burn in your spirit heart?
What is intelligence actually, what is relationship with intelligence?
