Excerpt from The Cosmic Commonwealth
Now our architectonic ideals are all in the keeping of religion. For what is religion 3 F rom one point of View, a struggling science. From another, a struggling art. The subject matter of religion, as a science, is supreme reality, the popular name for which is God. When man's vision of supreme reality becomes the object of desire rather than of thought, it transforms itself into his ultimate ideal. And to realize ultimate ideals is the function of religion, as an art.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book contends that the belief in a supernatural creator and ruler has led to a flawed understanding of society and ourselves. The author argues that this misconception of God as an omnipotent, autocratic overlord has resulted in a feudalistic understanding of society, where power and privilege are concentrated in the hands of a few. This belief system has led to a culture of individualism, materialism, and competition, which has stunted the growth of human potential. The author proposes a new vision of God as the symbol and center of cosmic unity, inviting readers to rethink their conception of God and to envision a society based on equality, justice, and cooperation. Ultimately, this book provides deep insights into the relationship between our beliefs about God, our social structures, and the state of humanity, urging us to reconsider our fundamental assumptions to cultivate a more just and harmonious world.
