Ouroboros
Coincidentia oppositorum
It was some book about pantheism that listed a couple of variations. I would have to look for it.Could you elaborate? I've noted the two camps George noted or at least similar.
But the two camps George mentioned are most definitely the two major groups. One that consider the spirit or consciousness or similar to be the underlying foundation for existence, while the other camp hold the material, physical, energy, etc as the underlying foundation for existence and that consciousness emerges from it. I'm personally somewhere in between. I can't explain it but I think both camps are making arbitrary divisions, and it's probably because of language itself. Language forces us to divide, categorize, define, etc. Someone said that religion is a language game, and perhaps that's what all of our thought really is.
Oh, yeah, I think I read somewhere that there's this idea that consciousness emerges from language. Not sure if I agree or not, but it shows yet another view.
