2010 Reprint of 1962 edition. In this work Goldsmith develops the theme that God is the substance and essence of all forms, whether that form appears as man, animal, vegetable or mineral. Spirit underlies all effects, and the recognition of this truth shifts the emphasis from dependence on persons or things to a complete dependence on spirit. Because God is individual consciousness, your consciousness is infinite, and as you become more aware of the infinite nature of your consciousness, that consciousness begins to appear in infinite forms of good. Then you understand the great truth that nothing can be added to you, and nothing can be taken from you: you are eternally complete and whole because embodied within you is the substance of all life.

This book is the fullest study in English for many years on the role of God in Spinoza's philosophy. Spinoza has been called both a 'God-intoxicated man' and an atheist, both a pioneer of secular Judaism and a bitter critic of religion. He was born a Jew but chose to live outside any religious community. He was deeply engaged both in traditional Hebrew learning and in contemporary physical science. He identified God with nature or substance: a theme which runs through his work, enabling him to naturalise religion but - equally important - to divinise nature. He emerges not as a rationalist precursor of the Enlightenment but as a thinker of the highest importance in his own right, both in philosophy and in religion.

American mystic CHARLES FILLMORE (1854-1948) was a founder of Unity Church, part of the early "New Age" movement called New Thought that was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Unity adheres to a "positive, practical Christianity," and this 1940 edition embodies that philosophy: it preaches that poverty is a sin, and that God wants us to be rich...a strain that has been picked up by some modern fundamentalist preachers in a way not entirely faithful to Fillmore's beliefs. Fillmore's lessons encompass... [ Spiritual Substance, the Fundamental Basis of the Universe [ Spiritual Mind, the Omnipresent Directive Principle of Prosperity [ Faith in the Invisible Substance, the Key to Demonstration [ Man, the Inlet and Outlet of Divine Mind [ The Law That Governs the Manifestation of Supply [ Wealth of Mind Expresses Itself in Riches [ God Has Provided Prosperity for Every Home [ God Will Pay Your Debts [ Tithing, the Road to Prosperity [ Right Giving, the Key to Abundant Receiving [ Laying Up Treasures [ Overcoming the Thought of Lack

The author praises Gratian’s zeal for instruction in the Faith, and speaks lowly of his own merits. Taught of God Himself, the Emperor stands in no need of human instruction; yet this his devoutness prepares the way to victory. The task appointed to the author is difficult: in the accomplishment whereof he will be guided not so much by reason and argument as by authority, especially that of the Nicene Council.

ISBN: 0190237341

This book offers a new and radical interpretation of the core of Spinoza's metaphysics. The first half of the book, which concentrates on the metaphysics of substance, suggests a new reading of Spinoza's key concepts of Substance and Mode, of Spinoza's pantheism and monism, and of his understanding of causation. The second half addresses Spinoza's metaphysics of Thought and presents three bold and interrelated theses on Spinoza's two doctrines of parallelism, on the multifaceted structure of ideas, and on Spinoza's reasons for holding that we cannot know any attributes of God, or Nature, other than Thought and Extension. Finally, the author shows that Spinoza assigns clear priority to the attribute of Thought without embracing reductive idealism.
