I'm something of a Pantheist myself. Actually, I believe that Deity is essence, a great pool of divine energy that is intimately intertwined with the energy and matter that form the universe, but operating on a different level. Soul is energy, and is drawn from that same pool and recycled. God is nothing more or less than a way to personify that Divine energy, and all the faces and names that we as humans (and probably other sentient beings) attach to the Divine are essentially masks.

Thing is, that Divine energy has consciousness, and a personal self-awareness, and knowing that It and We are all part of the same thing, It wants so much to interact with us... just as many of us do with It... that it is willing to inhabit those personifications and wear those masks to the extent necessary to establish a connection.

Some people grow beyond the need for the masks, although we may still find them useful at times to remind us of this or that aspect of Deity (in many cases a touchpoint where Deity reflects aspects of ourselves) but we can glimpse the larger entity that is behind the mask. That entity is far too enormous for any of us to grasp in its entirety and hold in our minds for more than an instant if at all.

But it's there, and we are aware of it. I say all the time that God is too big to fit into any of the convenient boxes we build to house Him/Her/It/Them, and that's basically a simplification of the principle.
