Oh, and...
Panentheism.
(not pantheism)
...why haven't I discovered this word before? Ahh. . .
EDIT: My apologies, it was not my intent to be cryptic. I felt so happy when I came across this word. It basically means the belief that everything exists *within* God. It's not, there is a distant creator -- we are *living* the creator. I particularly like the idea because it works with all faiths and just seemed to accurately describe my beliefs about the divine.
