Dualism or idealist monism as the best model for survival after death data

Elsewhere I have talked about how the "theism" term in Panentheism / Pantheism / Pandeism is somewhat inaccurate if it *has* to refer to the One as definitely being a Person.

Credit to Biernacki as she excellently articulates this better than I could.

This also starts to look closer to what I believe when I say the Many could exist for all time just like the One, even if the One is the Ground. Pagan polytheists could see the One as the Source behind the gods, for example. Or the Jains may see the One as the Ladder of Being. Daoists, of course, could see the One as the - from what I understand - impersonal Dao that is the Ground of their metaphysics & beliefs.

In this talk, Rupert Sheldrake explores panentheism—the idea that the divine is not separate from the world but present throughout it, while also transcending it. With the grip of mechanistic materialism loosening, Rupert invites us to reconsider how we see nature, mind, and spirit. Tracing a broad arc from ancient philosophies and Christian mysticism to AI-generated worldviews, panpsychism, and psychedelics, he reflects on how the sacred presence in nature—-long affirmed by spiritual traditions-—is re-emerging through science, experience, and renewed practices of attention. This talk was recorded at St James Church, Piccadilly, a longstanding hub for open spiritual inquiry and progressive theology in the heart of London
