Why did I need to write The Logical Meaning of God? I reached a quandary in my life, a state of uncertainty regarding the existence of God. I needed a vehicle to organize all of my thoughts, understandings and questions about God. Being a third generation writer, following the literary legacy of my family, writing this book was the logical step.
As my research turned into notes, and notes turned into pages, I realized that in order to understand the meaning of God, I also needed to understand the meaning of Life. I have concluded that the meaning of life is a never-ending quest to find the purpose and clear understanding of my life and my life alone while coexisting, respecting and tolerating everyone else’s journey through mortal existence.
The goal of this book is to logically drive home the point that life is based on a one-to-one relationship with the totality of Existence or God if you prefer. I use my life experiences and my research to emphasize this position. I reference philosophies, theologies, and theories from thousands of years ago to present day. I explore and explain ancient and contemporary spirituality and science.
My intent is to summarize a lifetimes worth of experiences and education (to this point) in understanding the meaning of Life and the Logical Meaning of God. In many ways, you will see that my definition of God will be a reaffirmation to some, but more so a redefinition and new understanding and appreciation of God to many of you.
“Accordingly that which is everywhere accepted as the supreme manifestation of deity, by whatever name it may be called, I term God.”
Edward Herbert, De Veritate (1624)
I hope this book encourages you to research the subjects I touch upon and to read the authors I quote, so you can formulate your personalized interpretations. Included at the end of this book is one of those magnificent sources, THE OVER-SOUL essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
I cannot explain your purpose of life, but I can share with you everything that I have researched, learned and lived through to help you formulate your own ideas to help you better understand the Logical Meaning of God.
