God or Nature, Whatever is what happens when a philosophy grad student decides to explain Baruch Spinoza—the 17th-century lens grinder who got canceled by every major religion—using sarcasm, swearing, and a deeply unhealthy relationship with Euclidean geometry. Sophia Blackwell takes Spinoza's Ethics (a book structured like a math textbook, only less fun) and translates it into plain, hilarious, possibly heretical English. The result? A philosophical roast that actually teaches you something. Inside, you'll learn: Why Spinoza thought God was just...

In our lives we are often too quick to look for lines that divide the “this” from the “that” but the world we live in does not recognize such clear distinctions. Life and nature exist within a spectrum of complexity rather than in carefully labeled boxes. Science, nature, and spirituality are not pursuits of understanding with contrasting viewpoints and objectives. Each looks at a different aspect of the spectrum of complexity that is the universe. That which we call the divine, or God, is not separate from these things but is both the source and the goal of the continuous evolution...

The Trinity is the central mystery of the Christian faith. What can we say about the divine nature, and what does it mean to say that God is Father, Son, Holy Spirit, three persons who are one in being? In this book, bestselling author Thomas Joseph White, OP, examines the development of early Christian reflection on the Trinity, arguing that essential contributions of Patristic theology are preserved and expanded in the thought of Thomas Aquinas.

God is a condition of Being, a pure and infinite field of energy potentiality, a timeless empty Awareness beyond the limitation of one and many, playing with itself through an infinite number of beings which are none other than itself. In this book I’ve tried to summarize in a very essential way how all the main theistic religions and the ancient Hermetic traditions point to the same non-conceptual Truth regarding Reality and Being, and in particular, how the field of phenomenal reality as self-perception is governed by unchanging Laws or Principles which can be known and utilized in ...

St. Augustine begins with a statement of what is to be investigated concerning nature and grace; he shows that nature, as propagated from the flesh of the sinful Adam, being no longer what God made it at first - faultless and sound - requires the aid of grace in order that it may be redeemed from the wrath of God and regulated for the perfection of righteousness.

In this latest book about my most recent metaphysical journeys, I had two ideas that I wanted to follow through on: I wanted to see and experience the great forests of Gondwanaland; and, I wanted to see and experience what existed on a higher frequency within the one hectare of garden that I currently call home.
