"God is the indwelling and not the transient cause of all things"

- Baruch Spinoza

About this Quote

In this quote, philosopher Baruch Spinoza is revealing his belief that God is not a momentary or fleeting force, however rather an inherent and continuous existence within all things. He sees God as the underlying essence and source of all presence, rather than a separate being who intervenes worldwide. This principle of God as the "indwelling cause" recommends a deep interconnectedness and unity between all things, with God being the ultimate source of this unity. Spinoza's viewpoint difficulties conventional ideas of an individual and anthropomorphic God, instead emphasizing a more abstract and universal understanding of the divine.
