Well technically the wiki defines pantheism as
'Pantheists thus do not believe in a distinct personal or anthropomorphic god'
and this guy definitely believes in an anthropomorphic god. he makes that pretty clear in his posts.
I think he got lost explaining it all cause he was too enthusiastic it must be new to him. It is the same old trip from the 60's that has been going on for decades. They used to call them EST seminars and such things.
Easier to see on LSD I guess haha
but I have seen people not on drugs get it too at some of those seminars.
It is just seeing life as one. not a hard thing to grasp and clearly just a choice of perspective for the individual. it is a common theme in many religions such as pentacostals, gnostic, and pagan's.
the trimorphic protennoia backs that up pretty clear too.

he is more a gnostic than a pantheist I think.
