One of Lazarus Long's aphorisms from Heinlein's Time Enough for Love: "God split himself into a myriad parts that he might have friends. This may not be true, but it sounds good, and is no sillier than any other theology."

This is how universes are created in Alan Dean Foster's Glory Lane. A god-like being commits suicide which creates another universe with another godlike being made of dark matter who commits suicide again, creating another universe and another god-like dark matter being and so-on ad infinitum.

The Jack Kerouac novel Desolation Angels comments about how we are bits of a Universe which decided to become us and then forget it had become us: "And you have been forever, and will be forever, and all the worrisome smashings of your foot on innocent cupboard doors it was only the Void pretending to be a man pretending not to know the Void...."

Alfred Tennyson personally identified as a Pandeist, and this theological underpinning influenced much of his nature poetry.

Poet Ferndano Pessoa has been identified by literary critics as a Pandeist as well.

Jorge Luis Borges hints this way in "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius ", and moreso in "Otras inquisiciones" (1952): "El tiempo es la sustancia de que estoy hecho. El tiempo es un río que me arrebata, pero yo soy el río; es un tigre que me destroza, pero yo soy el tigre; es un fuego que me consume, pero yo soy el fuego. El'mundo, desgraciadamente, es real; yo, desgraciada­mente, soy Borges." ("Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire. The 'world, unfortunately, is real, I, unfortunately, am Borges.") Borges wrote sympathetically of Philipp Mainländer: "Like me, he was an impassioned reader of Schopenhauer, under whose influence (and perhaps under the influence of the

 One of Lazarus Long's aphorisms from Heinlein's Time Enough for Love: " God separate himself into a countless parts that he might have acquaintance. This may not be dependable, but it sounds good, and is no punch-drunk than any early theology. " 

 This is how universes are created in Alan Dean Foster's Glory Lane. A god - like being commits suicide which creates another population with another godlike being made of dark matter who commits suicide again, create another universe and another deity - like dark topic being and so - on ad infinitum. 

 The Jack Kerouac novel Desolation Angels comments about how we are bits of a Universe which decide to become us and then forget it had become us: " And you have been forever, and will be forever, and all the unreassuring smashings of your animal foot on innocent cupboard doors it was only the Void pretending to be a man dissemble not to know the Void....
