There's a word for this: panentheism. I am whole heartedly a panentheist. I think Jesus is a great example of this (from a Christian perspective of course) - God is immanent in our physical world and in us, but still also the great fabric of being.
I think the Western philosophical split of mind and matter has been out of a desire to control our chaotic world. A natural tendency, with some good contributions, but ultimately it creates a false duality.
