  You Are Gods - On Nature and...

  David Bentley Hart

  • 0

  In recent years, the theological—and, more specifically, Roman Catholic—question of the supernatural has made an astonishing return from seeming oblivion. David Bentley Hart's You Are Gods presents a series of meditations on the vexed theological question of the relation of nature and supernature. In its merely controversial aspect, the book is intended most directly as a rejection of a certain Thomistic construal of that relation, as well as an argument in favor of a model of nature and supernature at once more Eastern and patristic, and also more in keeping with the healthier currents of mediaeval and modern Catholic thought. In its more constructive and confessedly radical aspects, the book makes a vigorous case for the all-but-complete eradication of every qualitative, ontological, or logical distinction between the natural and the supernatural in the life of spiritual creatures. 
   
   
   
  Hart, one of the most widely read theologians in America today, presents a bold gesture of resistance to the recent revival of what used to be called "two-tier Thomism," especially in the Anglophone theological world. In this astute exercise in classical Christian orthodoxy, Hart takes the metaphysics of participation, high Trinitarianism, Christology, and the soteriological language of theosis to their inevitable logical conclusions.

  Nihilism - The Philosophy of...

  Hector Davidson

  Nihilism is often misunderstood as mere pessimism or despair, yet it is far more complex than a simple rejection of hope. At its core, nihilism is the philosophical stance that life lacks inherent meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. This perspective challenges the foundations of morality, knowledge, and existence itself, questioning whether anything possesses objective significance. While nihilism can evoke feelings of emptiness and disillusionment, it can also serve as a liberating force, stripping away illusions and compelling individuals to forge their own meaning. 
  The term "nihilism" originates from the Latin word "nihil," meaning "nothing." Though traces of nihilistic thought can be found in ancient skepticism, it was in the 19th century that the philosophy gained prominence. Friedrich Nietzsche famously declared the "death of God," arguing that traditional religious and moral values had lost their authority. He warned that without these guiding structures, society risked falling into despair and meaninglessness. However, Nietzsche did not advocate surrendering to nihilism but instead sought a way to overcome it through the creation of new values. Russian nihilists of the same era took a different approach, rejecting societal norms and advocating for radical change, often through extreme means. Their interpretation of nihilism fueled revolutionary movements, demonstrating its potential to inspire both destruction and transformation.  
  Nihilism manifests in various forms, from existential and moral nihilism to epistemological and political nihilism. Existential nihilism is perhaps the most well-known, asserting that life has no ultimate purpose or inherent meaning. This idea has been explored by thinkers such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, who wrestled with the absurdity of existence.

  Avatar The Incarnations Of Godhead

  “Whenever there is a decline of religion and a rise of irreligion, I incarnate myself. To protect the good, to destroy the wicked, and to re-establish religious principles, I appear in every age.”"In order to deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I advent Myself millennium after millennium." Sri Krishna The incarnations of Godhead are a recurrent theme in Vedic history. Vishnu exists outside the material realm as the creator, and within every being as the Supersoul. He also enters this world as an avatar, ‘one who descends’, to restore balance whenever his presence is needed. There are said to be more incarnations of Godhead than waves on the ocean. The avatars of Vishnu are of particular interest because He takes progressively more developed forms, from the fish, tortoise, and boar to half-animal, half-man, and finally human form. That God should incarnate as an animal, even a supernatural one, shows animals have an important role to play in God’s eyes. They are living expressions of the spirit and presence of God. Here are the subtle secret teachings of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami the master of George Harrison and so many more. These ancient yogic mysteries were taught only to Maharaji's most advanced disciples and were thought to be all but lost these many years. Coming now from a nearly 50-year devotee of Srila Prabhupada here is a singular opportunity to enter into the true mystical presence of the divine incarnations of the absolute.The Vedas are a 5000-year-old esoteric, intriguing, mystical body of work that carries within it the seed of divine, transcendental knowledge.
