[[Immanence]], derived from the [[Latin]] in manere - "to remain within" - refers to [[philosophical]] and [[metaphysical]] [[theories]] of [[divine]] [[presence]], which hold that some divine being or [[essence]] [[manifests]] in and through all aspects of the [[material]] world. It is usually applied in monotheistic, pantheistic, or panentheistic [[faith]]s to suggest that the [[spiritual]] world permeates the non-spiritual, and often contrasts the [[idea]] of [[transcendence]]. | [[Immanence]], derived from the [[Latin]] in manere - "to remain within" - refers to [[philosophical]] and [[metaphysical]] [[theories]] of [[divine]] [[presence]], which hold that some divine being or [[essence]] [[manifests]] in and through all aspects of the [[material]] world.
