You see Mother Earth as a conscious, sentient being, but more emotional than intellectual, while ALL THAT IS presumably constitutes the whole universe.
If we jettison all concepts of God in favour of a creative force we call ALL THAT IS, I don’t see how anyone can object. It’s only if we ascribe particular attributes to this force that problems emerge. “Sentient†is one of them.
Baruch Spinoza is needed here. Like him I believe that the force or intellect of God is within everything, all that is. Sentient, and perhaps emotional. After all, emotions are part of consciousness. I don't think bbella and I are far apart.
