Are you taking a conservative stance in saying Pantheism and Freemasonry are not intrinsically related?

The philosophical development of theology moves from viewing a divine Soul inherent within nature toward establishing an independent, external Creator 1. Within the Scottish Rite, Albert Pike traces this evolution from ancient doctrines of an omnipresent Universal Soul into a middle ground situated between Pantheism and Atheism 1.

Pike cautions against assuming that recognizing a personal God cleanly resolves the mystifications of Pantheism 1. Personification is itself merely a symbolic framework, which is just as liable to misapprehension as other symbols and frequently degenerates into a reflection of human infirmities 1. Because any human conception of the Deity is infinitely inadequate, symbolic personification and pantheistic concepts both attempt to express an underlying divine mystery 1.

In this reading, traditional systems such as the pantheistic monotheism of the Vedas—wherein many divinities resolve into the attributes of the One—are not strictly opposed to monotheistic symbolism 1. Instead, all affirmative picture-conceptions of the Supreme Being remain symbolic attempts to comprehend what is ultimately beyond human definition 1.
