The mind will manufacture according to our choice; whichever we choose, we will seem to experience.

There's a possible qualification I can make here about a non-pantheist god that is in some way tenable, and that is the idea of a god that has in some way discharged the universe from its own substance (I associate this with the word 'tzimtzum'), possibly even by a form of suicide - a suicide that might have been the Big Bang.

Because he is content with himself, he doesn't need others' approval. Because he accepts himself, the whole world accepts him.
