Different forms may draw upon process philosophy, ecological thought, theology, animism, ritual practice or naturalism in different proportions. The account developed here is one particular form of Process Paganism: a non-theistic, immanent and deanthropomorphised version built from Spinoza, Whitehead, Kant, Nick Land and Hilan Bensusan. Its central claim is that reality is not fundamentally composed of fixed and self-contained things, but of processes, relations and rhythms. What appears to be a stable entity is better understood as a temporary consistency within a wider field of becoming. A person, animal, tree, river or ecosystem persists, but none remains materially or relationally identical from one moment to the next. Bodies breathe, metabolise, age and adapt. Rivers flow, erode and alter their courses. Forests develop through growth, decay, competition, symbiosis and regeneration. Identity is therefore not the absence of change. It is a pattern maintained through change. This form of Process Paganism does not depend upon supernatural gods, separate spiritual substances or a transcendent realm beyond Nature. Its spirituality arises from encounters with the more-than-human processes in which human existence is already embedded. Spinoza provides the principle of immanence. Whitehead provides a dynamic account of process and relational becoming. Bensusan contributes a rhythm-oriented ontology in which entities emerge through intersecting temporal patterns. Kant’s sublime offers an account of experiences that exceed ordinary representation and alter the subject. Land’s Outside names the nonhuman excess that resists reduction to human concepts, purposes and values. Taken together, these ideas support a Process Paganism that is spiritual without requiring supernaturalism, naturalistic without treating Nature as inert matter, and ecological without idealising Nature as harmonious or benevolent. https://indieagora.com/discuss/agora/theology/topic/715/post/5410/ Mon, 22 Jun 2026 21:05:53 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://stream.indieagora.com https://stream.indieagora.com/lazy-static/avatars/e7035489-e927-4e70-9a79-9a58834fb2de.png https://stream.indieagora.com/videos/watch/62ebda2a-08a4-4f8c-a04e-1a82ada0bae7 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://stream.indieagora.com/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
