Panenpsychotheism

Panenpsychotheism – The belief that God is the supreme mind that contains all individual minds and universal consciousness. Every finite consciousness (human, animal, maybe even AI) is a “thought” within the divine mind, but God’s own consciousness transcends the sum of them. This is a panentheistic version of panpsychotheism: God is the larger container, not just the aggregate.
Example: “She felt her awareness was a small wave on an infinite ocean—panenpsychotheism, where individual minds are ripples in the divine consciousness, not the whole sea.”

Panpsychotheism – The belief that mind (psyche) is in everything and that this universal mind is God. Not just that all things have some rudimentary consciousness, but that the total of all consciousnesses is a single, divine mind. Panpsychotheism treats the universe as a vast mental process, with God as the thinker and every atom as a thought. It’s a synthesis of panpsychism and theism.

Example: “He believed rocks had a tiny, slow consciousness, and all those rock-minds added up to God’s dream—panpsychotheism, the universe as a single, sprawling mind.”
