Summary
Details

"Veritas Ex Spiritu, meaning ""Truth Through Spirit,"" is a compilation of spiritual writings composed over a period of nearly fifteen years. The title alludes to the fact that, even when in ignorance and/or denial, we're all spiritual beings by our very nature, and that all truth comes from this source, with the mind always playing translator. This compilation represents the desire of the author to share his spirituality through one condensed work. In the process it offers answers to the great moral, spiritual and philosophical quandaries of the ages. The fully-inclusive nature of God, or 'Spirit, ' and its inseparability from every one of its manifestations is investigated through multiple genres, and theories and principles of the greatest possible value to life, and to the progression of the human race, are explored in detail.

Attempting to control what constitutes divinity is the hubristic foolishness of religion. The roads to the truth are always endless, and everyone has a prophet inside of them; it's all a matter of centering oneself and learning how to listen. This is precisely what makes the 'spiritual but not religious' perspective, the fully inclusive viewpoint, superior to the religious perspective, the excluding viewpoint made of attempting to stuff the all-encompassing Spirit and its manifestations into a single box in which it shall not only never fit, but which leads to innumerable ills for humankind, including promoting the propensity for tribal thought and divisiveness.

True spirituality, that which possesses the greatest power to unite all people, seeks no supremacy, listens to no labels, builds no boundaries, identifies with no idolatry, heeds no hierarchies and enforces no exclusions. Those are the man-made corruptions that created the religions by which the powerful have long controlled and oppressed the people as a whole. Ironically, the cure to religion is spirituality.

This collection includes:

- 2 short books, based upon the Tao Te Ching and the Gnostic Gospels, respectively

- 1 excerpt on the nature of divinity, from the philosophical novel ""Infinite of One""

- 4 short spiritual papers on the 'spiritual but not religious' supersession of religion

- 30 standard-length poems exploring various aspects of spirituality

- 1 'epic poem' based upon Khalil Gibran's ""The Prophet""

- 1 novel reflection on the spiritual classic ""Siddhartha"""
