Monist physical / naturalistic
There is one substance and it is physical. Commonly called naturalistic pantheism, scientific pantheism, religious atheism and sexed-up atheism.

Monist idealistic
There is one substance and it is spiritual/mental. The physical world is thus an illusion or a figment of the mind.

Dualist
There are two substances, physical and spiritual/mental. Often body and soul.

Naturalistic pantheism. If it doesn't exist in physical reality then it doesn't exist at all.

How strange that I can agree with this as a monisic panentheist, which I regard as a position uniting idealist and realist strains - the perceived reality is 'unreal,' the absolute reality is absolutely real, the two are not actually different, one being openly expressed in the other, anything not in the physical reality cannot be ascribed the term existence, nonetheless, non-existence may not apply either.

Naturalist without the monist thing, because i'm all for the philosophy of respecting all nature as if it were alive.

No. But only because there is no "me" to begin with; the distinction between "me" and "everything else" is entirely artificial. I'm a series of ill-defined chemical reactions called Bob Dixon, but it wasn't always so, and at one point it'll cease to be so. For the Universe, there's no such thing as "Bob Dixon".

So an individual piece of "all" is not God?

So what is the nature of your non-God-ness?

I am not "God", as God is the whole Universe. I am part of God, though. Just as much a part of God as a snail, a rock or a star. Like a single atom of me isn't me, but still a part of me and just as much as all other atoms in me.
