Monodeism Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Monodeism



The mind concentrated
upon a higher object
of interest, is undistracted
by its own likes and dislikes;
and performs efficiently
the work that is given it to do.

In persons of feeble
or diffuse intelligence
however, this deep
absorption in the sense
of Divine Reality
may easily degenerate
into monodeism.

(This is a philosophical belief that posits that God exists as an uncaused First Cause ultimately responsible for the creation of the universe, but does not interfere directly with the created world.

Equivalently, deism can also be defined as the view which posits God's existence as the cause of all things, and admits its perfection (and usually the existence of natural law and Providence)but rejects divine revelation or direct intervention of God in the universe by miracles.)
