Are nature and God the same thing?

God and Nature are synonymous—

One power controls the whole unitedly, and directs all in a channel with which you are connected, leading to something higher, acted upon by a life-principle, which is God, centred or concentrated in your immortality, the mind, reflecting from this to the eternal world. This carries you over the whole universe, acknowledging One Supreme Being, and what you know of Him is by manifestations through his laws of creation.
