Pantheism is the belief that all reality (the cosmos) is a self-organizing unity and that no personal, supernatural creator exists. In brief, it holds that the universe has always existed and that it is, in itself, a nonpersonal god. In other words, all reality is divinity, whether it be nature or the cosmos. Jainism and other Eastern religions are pantheistic, as are some Western philosophies.
