Dualism it can be represented by a balance of two primordial forces (yin and yang) or can refer to two powers that dual for supremacy. Pantheism is the belief that all existing things are in some sense divine. Monism it is the belief that all things are indistinguishable from the divine. Monotheism there is only one god, there are no others. Henotheism there are a multitude of gods; however, there is only a belief in the ascendency of only one god.
