This just proves my point. You're assuming I'm against things that are outside what a/theism is.
I don't disagree with what you're describing. Nor do I disageee with the likes of Alan Watts or eastern philosophies. I just wouldn't call it God. Many eastern "religions" are also referred to as philosophies. There are atheists who have mindfulness apps that have entire lectures and interviews about these subjects.
I don't like when a conversation breaks down into semantics, but there needs to be a basic definition of a word which we start from. Otherwise you get this.
