Synopsis

This profound book challenges conventional views of life and sin, presenting a radical new perspective rooted in the principles of nature and evolution. The author argues that life is a flowing, evolving process of growth and decay, in which death is an integral and necessary aspect. Sin, then, is not a personal affront to a creator, but rather a course of action that degrades ourselves in either body or mind, and that tends toward degeneration. By placing responsibility for our actions firmly in our own hands, this book invites us to redefine our understanding of morality and to strive for lives that are lived in accord with the laws of nature and the universe. It concludes by emphasizing that liberty is not a power to act as we choose, but to live in fullest accordance with the universal life force that sustains us all.

Product Description

Excerpt from Liberty and Life Discourses

A great joy is only a very rhythmical and happy pro cess of dying; and a very great joy sometimes closes up dying and living at once - it is too rapid death.
