Pantheism is the belief that the universe is God, and that everything within it is a divine manifestation of the entire Cosmos. In other words, you are IT! From the Hindu philosophy of Vedanta, the eponymous Tao in Taoist philosophy, the Stoic philosophy of the Logos, and the Enlightenment philosophy of Spinoza and others, Pantheism has an ancient and rich history, though it has never attained the widespread reach of conventional religions.

Revering the universe, caring for nature, celebrating life:

Pantheism is the view that the universe and "God" are one and the same. Pantheists therefore reject the idea of an anthropomorphic, personal god. The overarching idea is that there is something to be marveled at when you look at the beauty of the cosmos and the laws of nature that guide its manifestation. And that our time spent with the consciousness that has emerged from the universe is to be cherished.

Pantheism is comprised of a broad range of views. Ranging from new age spiritualism to staunch naturalism to something similar to Taoism. All views are welcome and respectful discussion of opinions is encouraged.

Put another way:

If Atheism thinks we live in a mechanical godless universe, Pantheism thinks we are god experiencing ourselves (via ego division from the whole).

Essentially, we and all things are connected as we all stem from the source and will return to the source - and the consciousness is what allows us to experience and learn in all dimensions.

Very simplified - but what ism can be summed up in a sentence.

The creation of kinetic energy through thought alone is still a topic of debate and speculation.

This post will focus on explaining, how the feeling we experience as Tension is another form of expression of your Vital energy from your Spirit (soul/astral body/etheric body/energetic body/emotional body/true self) to help spread this information and help everyone learn about the different spiritual/biological discoveries, usages and benefits that were documented on the activation of this type of energy.

This presents to you an opportunity to empower yourself with your knowledge of your Tension by gaining the ability to really tap into all the reported, documented and written spiritual/biological usages that are said to be achievable with your conscious cultivation of it.

What does Tension means/Represents:

If you've ever heard of the sayings" You could feel the tension in the room" or "you could cut the tension with a knife"...

• Tension has many meanings, some Literal, others Metaphorical, but in this case, it is about energy(heat) emitting from ones body that creates a field surrounding a person or has emitted so much that it has left that field and is floating in the room/location where that person is or was.

• That same energy creates a field of energy that is equivalent to what can be considered your "Spiritual Energy" because your spirit (soul/astral body/etheric body/ energetic body/emotional body/true self) is made of that same energy in motion that activates when you experience it.

• In its neutral state, you unconsciously draw that energy with your breath, the foods/liquids you consume and especially the thoughts you think, the actions you do and the visual content that you watch either emits or draws in to amplify your base of this BioElectric Energy.

Here's a simple way that's explains how you can become aware of how to activate/control your Tension: it is that extremely comfortable Euphoric wave that can most easily be recognized as present while you experience goosebumps/chills from a positive external or internal situations/ stimuli like listening to a song you really like, thinking about a lover, watching a moving movie scene, striving, feeling thankful, praising God, praying, etc.

• That Euphoric wave is the animating energy behind life itself, Other cultures that have experienced in other ways with this energy found their own usages for it and then documented their results as they coined different terms for it.

• That energy activates goosebumps/chills not the other way around. You can learn how to separate that extremely pleasant energy from the physical reaction of goosebumps and eventually learn how to activate only that Euphoric energy part whenever you please, feel it wherever or everywhere on yourself and for the duration you choose.

• Other than Tension , this has also been experienced and documented as the Vibrational State before an Astral Projection, the Runner's HighChills from positive events/stimuli, as Qi in Taoism / Martial Arts, as Prana in Hindu philosophy, during an ASMR session, BioelectricityLife forceEuphoriaEcstasyOrgoneRaptureAuraManaVayusNenIntentTummoOdic forcePitīFrissonRuahSpiritual Energy, Secret Fire, The Tingleson-demand quickeningVoluntary PiloerectionAetherSpiritual Chills and many more to be discovered hopefully with your help.

• It was discovered that this energy can be used in many beneficial ways.

• Some which are more biological like Unblocking your lymphatic system/MeridiansFeel euphoric/ecstatic on your whole bodyGuide your Spiritual chills anywhere in your bodyControl your temperature, Give yourself goosebumps, Dilate your pupils, Regulate your heartbeat, Counteract stress/anxiety in your body with this energy, Internally Heal yourself access your Hypothalamus on demand,

• and I discovered other usages which are more spiritual like Accurately use your Psychic senses (clairvoyance, clairaudience, spirit projection, higher-self guidance, vision from your third eye)with this energy, Managing your Auric fieldManifestation, Energy absorption from any source and even more to come.

• If you're interested in learning how to use this subtle energy activation for these ways, here are three written tutorials going more in-depth and explicitly revealing how you can do just that.

• P.S. Everyone feels its activation at certain points in their life, some brush it off while others notice that there is something much deeper going on. Those are exactly the people you can find on the subreddit community r/spiritualchills where they share experiences, knowledge, tips on it and if you are wanting to develop discipline, purpose, self-worth, or strength, start your journey today.

Confession of a Jewish Pantheist

I'm reposting this in a different format because the link post gets removed every time I try to post it. It offers a Jewish perspective on pantheism that people might find interesting.

Book Suggestions or Reading List

May have been asked and answered but I’m unable to locate. Is there an existing or can you suggest books or a reading list to better understand Pantheism? Appreciate any suggestions or guidance.

Is there anyone out there who considers themselves an atheistic pantheist?

So, I lean both towards atheism and pantheism. Is there anyone else out there like this?

I don't believe there is any god, or personal deity separate from the physical universe. I don't believe in an afterlife, or anything supernatural.

However, I do believe in a spirituality to the universe. I believe that everything in the universe as a whole is connected, either literally or metaphorically. To me, this is the only thing that I'd consider "divine," or "god." I don't really like using the religious-type terminology personally. I think "god" is nothing more than nature itself.

Perhaps spiritual naturalist is more appropriate.

I could really use some manifesting energy ❤️

I’ve been trying to find work for well over a year with spectacular failure. I had a job interview a few days ago and it went REALLY well. It would be a great fit for me mentally and physically. My husband and I desperately need this to happen.. financially, mentally, and emotionally. Both the additional income and me being actively employed would have a positive ripple effect on our entire life.

We’ve been together almost 15 years and we have dealt with an almost recurrent cycle of crises and urgent issues. I’m a firm believer that you get back whatever you put out, so I make every effort to put out positivity whenever and wherever I can.

Because this is so important in asking for anyone willing to put their optimism and positive intentions out there with mine. It would mean so much to have some support in this.. thank you so much in advance! ✌️❤️🌎

UPDATE 1/27

I didn’t get the position I interviewed for..

HOWEVER

She said she was so impressed by me as a candidate that she is going to contact local stores and recommend me.

So, it’s a speed bump, but not a brick wall. I’m still manifesting my forthcoming employment 😁😎🧘‍♀️

But still please keep sending all of the good juju my way 😀

Am I a Pantheist?

The first time I heard about pantheism it was while learning about Spinoza and I found myself agreeing with the principle that god and the universe were one in the same however I don’t believe there is any sentience so I don’t believe in worshipping the universe. Am I a Pantheist?

It hurts my head to think of an experienceless universe...

It hurts my head to think about a cosmos emptied of consciousness—to imagine reality as it was before any sentient being existed. Would the billions of years before minds emerged pass in an instant, unmeasured and unexperienced? Could there truly be a world without color, without sound, without qualities—just an ungraspable, reference-less existence? The further I go down this rabbit hole, the more absurd it feels. A universe devoid of all subjective qualities—no sights, no sounds, no sensations—only a silent, structureless expanse without anything to witness it.

We assume the cosmos churned along for billions of years before life emerged, but what exactly was that pre-conscious “time”? Was it an eternity collapsed into an instant, or something altogether beyond duration? Time is felt; color is seen; sound is heard—without these faculties, are we just assigning human constructs to a universe that, in itself, was never "like" anything at all? The unsettling part is that everything we know about reality comes filtered through consciousness. All descriptions—scientific, philosophical, or otherwise—are born within minds that phenomenalize the world. Take those minds away, and what are we left with?

If a world without experience is ungraspable—if it dissolves into incoherence the moment we try to conceptualize it—then should we even call it a world? It’s easy to say, “The universe was here before us,” but in what sense? We only ever encounter a reality bathed in perception: skies that are blue, winds that are cold, stars that shimmer. Yet, these are not properties of the universe itself; they are phenomenal projections, hallucinated into existence by minds. Without consciousness, what remains? A colorless, soundless void?

It hurts my head to think of of how things were before sentient beings even existed. How could there be a reality utterly devoid of perception, a world without anyone to witness it? The idea itself seems paradoxical: if there was no one to register the passage of time, did those billions of years unfold in an instant? If there were no senses to interpret vibrations as sounds, was the early universe eerily silent? If there were no eyes to translate wavelengths into color, was Earth a colorless void? But strip away every conscious experience, every sensation, every observer-dependent quality, and what remains?

The world we know is a hallucination imposed on raw existence by our cognitive faculties. But then, what is "raw existence" beyond this interpretative veil? What was the world before it was rendered into an experience? Maybe it wasn’t a world at all.

The Holy Spirit as a Comforter

This post will focus on explaining, how the term Rapture describes an another form of expression of your Vital energy from your Spirit (soul/astral body/etheric body/energetic body/emotional body/true self) to help spread this information and help everyone learn about the different spiritual/biological discoveriesusages and benefits that were documented on the activation of this type of energy.

This community presents to you an opportunity to empower yourself with your control of your Rapture by gaining the ability to really tap into all the reported, documented and written spiritual/biological usages that are said to be achievable with your conscious cultivation of it.

What does Rapture means/Represents:

• Rapture, represents an expression or manifestation of ecstasy, passion or a state or experience of being carried away by overwhelming emotions.

• This is the exact emotional state that is activated when one experiences chills/goosebumps from an positive external or internal stimuli like listening to a favorite song and etc.

• It's not a coïncidence that the emotion of Rapture is basically the emotion of Ecstasy which is: an overwhelming feeling of great happiness or joyful excitement. Since it is an emotion, it can also be looked at as energy because emotions are energy in motion.

• That same energy can be and is activated/drawn from your body when you get chills/goosebumps from an positive external or internal stimuli.

• That energy activates goosebumps/chills not the other way around. You can learn how to separate that extremely pleasant energy from the physical reaction of goosebumps and eventually learn how to activate only that Euphoric energy part whenever you pleasefeel it wherever or everywhere on yourself and for the duration you choose.

A poem entitled “churchgoing”

We went churchgoing, Passed rivers flowing, in canyons with hills rolling, On the search for god we went, Ended up at his house and stood neath that holy cement, Yet he was nowhere to be found, Still I promise you we looked all around, As we turned to leave that sacred ground, I had a thought oh so profound, That he doesn’t speak in rhyme or prose, Doesn’t endorse prophets, black stones, tabernacles, idols, or telephones, Rather he makes himself known through Rocks and bones.

A Documentary on Deism, Pantheism, and Pandeism

Blessings, fellow seekers of knowledge and understanding!!

Over the past decade, I have published anthologies exploring myriad aspects of Pandeism. This year, I will finally be moving forward with a step into a new medium with the creation of a documentary examining the rich history and significance of the great nontheistic theological models: Deism, Pantheism, and Pandeism. This project will explore their roots in ancient times, their philosophical evolution, and their profound influence on modern social, political, and artistic thought.

The documentary will examine questions such as:

  • How did early ideas of deism and pantheism emerge from humanity’s attempt to understand the universe and our place within it?
  • What role did these models play in shaping Enlightenment philosophies, democratic ideals, and poetry and the arts?
  • How do various offshoots and syntheses of deistic and pantheistic thought, such as Pandeism, Panentheism, and even Panendeism, offer unique perspectives on the nature of existence?

I hope to include interviews with scholars and practitioners, and to drink deeply from the well of historical texts and cultural artifacts that highlight the enduring relevance of these worldviews. This will be a labor of love, and I’d love to work collaboratively with members of this community (and the Deism subreddit). What would you like to see included in the documentary? What aspects, figures, or eras are crucial to explore, or may be little-known and possibly overlooked?

I thank you for your passion and insights—and I look forward to bringing this vision to life with your support.

These breakthrough discoveries of subtle etheric energy by doctors have brought groundbreaking influence on the physical world.

This post will focus on explaining, how Orgone Energy is another form of expression of your vital energy from your Spirit (soul/astral body/etheric body/energetic body/emotional body/true self) to help spread this information and help everyone learn about the different spiritual/biological discoveries, usages and benefits that were documented on the activation of this type of energy.

Here's an opportunity to empower yourself with your control of your Orgone energy by gaining the ability to really tap into all the reported, documented and written spiritual/biological usages that are said to be achievable with your control of it.

What does Orgone mean/Represents:

• Orgone is another term that was coined by the scientist Wilhelm Reich after discovering the Vital Energy that is present everywhere, in every living thing and even inanimate objects.

• He then developed devices to successfully help draw more of this energy in locations where this device is present. Here you can read more about his research: https://wiki.orgones.co.uk/field-grade-orgonite#Orgonite_evidence_5

• This Vital Energy is equivalent to what can be considered your "Spiritual Energy" because your spirit (soul/astral body/etheric body/ energetic body/emotional body/true self) is made of that same energy in motion that activates when you experience it.

• In its neutral state, you unconsciously draw that energy with your breath, the foods/liquids you consume and especially the thoughts you think, the actions you do and the visual content that you watch either emits or draws in to amplify your base of this BioElectric Energy.

Does the extent of the universes self-awareness matter?

The universe can be self-aware without being omniscient. Does the lack of total awareness diminish its magnificence?

After all, we are self aware, but only have a vague understanding of how our own minds work and have little to no direct control over our body systems. The lack of awareness over our self doesn’t diminish our self.

Ecstasy releases high levels of serotonin at a rapid pace, effectively short-circuiting the associated nerve pathway, is there a way to naturally and safely achieve that same level of serotonin?

Yes, it is possible.

First and foremost, you have to understand that ecstasy is a naturally occurring emotion. With this technique it won't be the same at first, but over time, you can access high levels of serotonin release naturally with the technique discussed in this post.

This post will focus on explaining, how the emotion of Ecstasy is another form of expression of your vital energy from your Spirit (soul/astral body/etheric body/energetic body/emotional body/true self) to help spread this information and help everyone learn about the different spiritual/biological discoveriesusages and benefits that were documented on the activation of this type of energy.

Interesting read on the definition of "Pantheism"

This is from Pantheism.com

The “all” in Pantheism denotes all energy/matter… as in, all objects and elements, i.e. all ‘things’ in Nature. Nature Itself is what we view as sacred and holy, not all religious systems (which each contradict themselves and have caused immeasurable harm in their own way). The “all” in Pantheism means all of Nature… the natural world, all living organisms, the Universe Itself, etc. All physical matter and energy, this is what we believe God to be—the physical Universe Itself.

I quite like this definition, and this is how I view "God," if there was ever such a thing that I could call God. For me, God is nature, just like defined here, nothing more. Not a personal deity who interferes in any way.

I don't know if I am an atheist or a Pantheist

So.. I don't know. Personally, I don't find any religions to be truthful. I don't think any of them have it right. I don't believe in any personal, supernatural divine beings that are outside of the universe/physical reality. I don't believe in deities, heaven, hell, angels, demons, etc.

I believe the universe likely is from natural causes. I am unsure whether or not there is any kind of life after death, because obviously who can know this? I haven't died so I can't know. But probably not.

That said, the only sensible explanation I can see for a god existing is that of one that is natural, within the universe. Not something separate, and not a personal being. A kind of thing that is within all things in the universe.

Instead of something being outside of physical reality who cares about what we do, judges us, performs miracles, etc, rather is the universe itself and everything in it and is a kind of interconnected whole, either symbolically or literally.

So... I don't know. Does this make me an atheist, a Pantheist? Something else?

Argument for Pantheism

This argument for pantheism hinges on the idea that any entity considered "God" cannot be separate from everything else, as separation would imply the existence of something greater that encompasses both God and everything else.

  1. Defining God 1: Assume "God 1" is the most powerful entity, but it is separate from everything else.

  2. The Connection (Whole 1): The separation between God 1 and everything else implies there is a "whole" (Whole 1) that encompasses both God 1 and everything else. This whole is the relational unity between them.

  3. Whole 1's Supremacy: Whole 1, as the greater context uniting God 1 and everything else, must be more comprehensive and inclusive than God 1 alone.

  4. Reevaluating God: If God is defined as the greatest, most all-encompassing reality, then God 1, being only a part of Whole 1, cannot be the true God. Whole 1 is the true God.

  5. Pantheism's Assertion: Pantheism identifies God with the whole of all existence, not a separate entity. This aligns with the idea that the ultimate divine reality cannot be apart from the totality of existence.

The surprising different discoveries between the western term of ASMR and the other cultures that have experienced with it.

This post will focus on explaining, how the sensations one experiences with ASMR is another form of expression of your vital energy from your Spirit (soul/astral body/etheric body/energetic body/emotional body/true self) to help spread this information and help everyone learn about the different spiritual/biological discoveriesusages and benefits that were documented on the activation of this type of energy.

This post presents to you an opportunity to empower yourself with your control of your euphoric feeling by gaining the ability to really tap into all the reported, documented and written spiritual/biological usages that are said to be achievable with your conscious cultivation of it.

What does ASMR mean/Represents:

• ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) is a tingling sensation that usually begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine but can begin anywhere else. It's the exact same feeling one experiences that is also known under the term frisson.

• It's a subjective experience of euphoria characterized by a combination of positive feelings and It sometimes comes with the physical reaction of goosebumps/chills but that energy in motion(emotion), can be separated from every physical reaction.

• It's an activation of ones Vital energy through the common triggers of specific auditory or visual stimuli, and less commonly by intentional attention control.

• Many cultures have also discovered the sensations one experiences with ASMR before the term ASMR was created and documented this then explained that this is caused by the flow of your vital energy inside of you that can cause many physical reactions like *goosebumps/ chills, body temperature control, dilated pupils, sweating, teary eyes, smiling and etc.

*See VayusPranaQiTummo and Piti.

• The difference between the western term of ASMR and the other cultures that have experienced with it is that, they discovered that the euphoric or ecstatic emotion(energy in motion) that is present when experiencing ASMR has been and can be used for a list of incredible Spiritual feats once one learns how to induce this energy on demand.

• This vital energy is equivalent to what can be considered your "Spiritual Energy" because your spirit (soul/astral body/etheric body/ energetic body/emotional body/true self) is made of that same energy in motion that activates when you experience it.

• In its neutral stateyou unconsciously draw that energy with your breaththe foods/liquids you consume and especially the thoughts you think, the actions you do and the visual content that you watch either emits or draws in to amplify your base of this BioElectric Energy.

Here's a simple way that's explains how you can feel the activation of your Vital Energyit is that extremely comfortable Euphoric wave that can most easily be recognized as present while you experience goosebumps/chills from a positive external or internal situations/ stimuli like listening to a song you really like, thinking about a lover, watching a moving movie scene, striving, feeling thankful, praising God, praying, etc.

• That Euphoric wave is the animating energy behind life itselfOther cultures that have experienced in other ways with this energy found their own usages for it and then documented their results as they coined different terms for it.

• That energy activates goosebumps/chills not the other way around. You can learn how to separate that extremely pleasant energy from the physical reaction of goosebumps and eventually learn how to activate only that Euphoric energy part whenever you pleasefeel it wherever or everywhere on yourself and for the duration you choose.

• It was discovered that this energy can be used in many beneficial ways.

Some which are more biological like Unblocking your lymphatic system/MeridiansFeel euphoric/ecstatic on your whole bodyGuide your Spiritual chills anywhere in your bodyControl your temperature, Give yourself goosebumps, Dilate your pupils, Regulate your heartbeat, Counteract stress/anxiety in your body with this energy, Internally Heal yourself access your Hypothalamus on demand,

and I discovered other usages which are more spiritual like Accurately use your Psychic senses (clairvoyance, clairaudience, spirit projection, higher-self guidance, vision from your third eye)with this energy, Managing your Auric fieldManifestation, Energy absorption from any source and even more to come.

If you're interested in learning how to use this subtle energy activation for these ways, here are three written tutorials going more in-depth and explicitly revealing how you can do just that.

Somos células del universo: Una idea para explorar

Hola, mi nombre es Narvis, y quiero compartir lo que pienso sobre el UNIVERSO. Tengo 43 años, y en cuanto a religión, desde que era niño, mis padres solo me llevaban a bautizarme en la iglesia católica, que es la única actividad religiosa que me hacían. A lo largo de mi vida, no me he sentido atraído por ninguna religión en particular, ya que creo que muchas personas se aprovechan de las vulnerabilidades de los demás. Algunos creen en santos o imágenes, pero a mí no me gusta mucho eso.

Desde hace aproximadamente un año, he desarrollado un gran interés por el universo, el vasto espacio en el que vivimos. Tuve dos experiencias en las que le pregunté al universo con mucha fe, y sentí que me escuchaba y respondía de inmediato. A partir de ese momento, comencé a cuestionarme más sobre lo que realmente somos y de qué somos parte.

Me he dado cuenta de que muchas veces estamos tan centrados en nuestro día a día que no prestamos atención a lo que realmente somos. Creo firmemente que todo está conectado. Así como el cuerpo humano funciona como un mecanismo perfecto, creo que el universo funciona de la misma manera. Estamos conectados a él, y me parece que, en este momento, mientras escribo en esta computadora, el universo sabe lo que estoy haciendo y pensando en tiempo real.

Pienso en cómo funciona nuestro cuerpo: células buenas y malas, plaquetas, sangre, arterias, etc. Las células buenas serían las personas que hacen el bien, mientras que las malas representan lo contrario. Dentro de mí, como ser humano, produzco una nueva vida: dos células se unen, y de esa unión surge una nueva vida, que luego se multiplica una y otra vez. Cuando tenemos un hijo con la mujer que amamos, estamos dando vida. Si criamos bien a estos niños, serán células nuevas y buenas. Pero cuando tomamos malas decisiones, como beber alcohol, usar drogas, tener hijos solo por el hecho de hacerlo o no criarlos adecuadamente, ¿cuál es el resultado? Células buenas y malas, al igual que en nuestro cuerpo.

Por todas estas razones, creo que somos pequeñas células dentro de un cuerpo inmensamente grande. Otros planetas, otras células, o seres vivos como yo, todos somos parte de un solo ser: el UNIVERSO.

The purpose of this post is to meet other people who share this kind of thinking. I want to know if there are others who might know more about this topic and can guide me to learn more about the UNIVERSE.

Discovered pantheism today

So I discovered the idea of pantheism today after a few years of considering myself an atheist. Not a militant atheist, but one nonetheless. I like the idea of pantheism as an idea, but not sure I can get on board if the idea is that everything still has an actual magical origin.

I haven’t done tons of research yet (as I just came across the idea a couple hours ago) so maybe the answer is out there but thought I would start here (all hail Reddit to answer life’s questions!).

What is the core of the belief/idea? Does it still go back to a magical origin for everything? And I really don’t mean any offense in using the term “magical”. It’s just the best way I can think to get my point across.

Thanks in advance for any clarification/answers/ideas!

Pantheism and spiritual atheism.

So I've been thinking a bit about my former beliefs before adopting pantheism. I would always refer to myself as a spiritual atheist. Which had worked just fine for me for a while. But then I realized I have to some degree seen the universe as a living entity. And everything in it as sacred. I'm not realize that the two belief systems have quite a lot in common as well as some obvious and apparent differences. Like seeing definitely in the natural world. And I now feel that spiritual atheism was just a jumping off point for me in some way, to eventually discover naturalistic pantheism. Does anyone else feel that way? Like pantheism is just an extension or full realization of their former beliefs.

Your body has this circulatory system, which is much like blood vessels, that goes through it called meridians where you can circulate euphoria, everywhere in it, on demand and for hours.

This post will focus on explaining, how the emotion of Euphoria is another form of expression of your vital energy from your Spirit (soul/astral body/etheric body/energetic body/emotional body/true self) to help spread this information and help everyone learn about the different spiritual/biological discoveriesusages and benefits that were documented on the activation of this type of energy.

This community presents to you an opportunity to empower yourself with your control of your Euphoria by gaining the ability to really tap into all the reported, documented and written spiritual/biological usages that are said to be achievable conscious activation of your Euphoria.

What does Euphoria means/Represents:

• Euphoria is a feeling or state of intense excitement and happiness. Since it is an emotion, it can also be looked at as energy because emotions are energy in motion.

• That same energy can be and is activated/drawn from your body when you get chills/goosebumps from an positive external or internal stimuli.

• That energy activates goosebumps/chills not the other way around. You can learn how to separate that extremely pleasant energy from the physical reaction of goosebumps and eventually learn how to activate only that Euphoric energy part whenever you pleasefeel it wherever or everywhere on yourself and for the duration you choose.

• Your emotion of Euphoria is equivalent to what can be considered your "Spiritual Energy" because your spirit (soul/astral body/etheric body/ energetic body/emotional body/true self) is made of that same energy in motion that activates when you experience it.

• In its neutral stateyou unconsciously draw that energy with your breaththe foods/liquids you consume and especially the thoughts you think, the actions you do and the visual content that you watch either emits or draws in to amplify your base of this BioElectric Energy.

• That Euphoric wave is the animating energy behind life itselfOther cultures that have experienced in other ways with this energy found their own usages for it and then documented their results as they coined different terms for it.

Other than Euphoria, this has also been experienced and documented as the Vibrational State before an Astral Projection, as Qi in Taoism / Martial Arts, as Prana in Hindu philosophy, during an ASMR session, Bioelectricity, Life force, Runner'sHigh, Ecstasy, Orgone, Rapture, Tension, Aura, Mana, Vayus, Nen, Intent, Tummo, Odic force, Pitī, Frisson, Ruah, Spiritual Energy, Secret Fire, The Tingles, on-demand quickening, Voluntary Piloerection, Aether, Spiritual Chills and many more to be discovered hopefully with your help.

• It was discovered that this energy can be used in many beneficial ways.

Some which are more biological like Unblocking your lymphatic systemFeel euphoric/ecstatic on your whole bodyGuide your Spiritual chills anywhere in your bodyControl your temperature, Give yourself goosebumps, Dilate your pupils, Regulate your heartbeat, Counteract stress/anxiety in your body with this energy, Internally Heal yourself access your Hypothalamus on demand,

If you're interested in learning how to use this subtle energy activation for these ways, here are three written tutorials going more in-depth and explicitly revealing how you can do just that.

P.S. Everyone feels its activation at certain points in their life, some brush it off while others notice that there is something much deeper going on. Those are exactly the people you can find on the subreddit community r/spiritualchills where they share experiences, knowledge and tips on it.
