What is the difference between Animism and Pantheism?

So whereas the Western monistic philosophers (Zeno, Spinoza, etc.), tend to be pantheistic, the Indian philosophies and religions tend be Acosmic. They were and are concerned not so much with the manifest reality we see about us, but with the unmanifest Absolute Transcendent. What matters is simply the practical attainment of a state of this universal, transcendent, transpersonal existence. In that state, according to Adi Shankara, there is no difference between Self and God; there is only the Absolute (Brahman).
