The idea is that there is a life force or consciousness in things. And that the outer form itself is not God, but the life force or consciousness is.

I was thinking about your question and thought of another way to answer. Hope it works. Seeing that your Muslim I thought of using La ilaha illallah as a stepping stone. But do so from a Panentheistic approach much in the way that the Sufies operate. Your question is more alone the lines of Pantheism, which is different than Panentheism.

The meaning is "There is no God but Allah" and it cannot have a Panentheistic approach. Its similar to
I am the LORD, and there is no other, besides me there is no God.
Isaiah 45:5

But there is in fact a Panentheistic approach to God for many. Rather in agreement or not, all I was doing is giving an answer to your post #18. I guess it's not understood.

Coming back full circle, the activity of God that I suggested is "experienced" in the Human Soul.

Agree there is. I mean chriatians believe in trinity and still pray to mary and bow to her statue and also pray to saints. Many consider this blasphemy but its ok for some. I strongly believe in one God who made everything. Everything is not God but the creation of God. If i cut down a tree i dont cut a god or part of him.

The Christian Mystics are more often than not Panentheist where they find the Light of God in Creation.
Your describing Panthesim, which is a very different thing than what I'm pointing towards.
Personally, everywhere I look, there God is. The tree is sacred to me because the Life Force that gives the tree life is the Life Force of God. When you cut a tree down, your cutting a Life Force.

OK, and having Allah as an absolute reality in ones life? That reality doesn't reach into Creation itSelf?

Is that the belief of any Christian to believe everywhere you look there is God! What sect is that?

No how u see it it does not in that way. Allah is aware whats happening in each atom of the universe, each cell which means God is aware of his whole creation but does not go into its creation. Its worshipping the creator not the creation. When u pray to God u pray in your mind to a personality not to the tree or idol. Its natural to believe in God as one. Many dont admit it but when in difficulty we tend to pray to only one God not his creation

Your still not understanding, or I guess I'm not being clear. No one is suggesting to worship the Creation. But let me ask you this...where IS the Creator?

It's not a sect, but Lovers of God in the form of the Mystics. Even in Islam you have Mystics in the form of Sufies who say the same. It's where God becomes more than a "belief" but an actual reality for a person.

As described in Quran he is on Arsh which is his throne which is beyond 7 heavens(in islam heavens means sky, somewhat like 7 layers of universe)
