    Thoughts on Marriage

    Marriage is an utterly insane mechanism. You’re right to think, “I’m not sure, what if it doesn’t work out, I lose so many options, etc.” It’s a crazy, impossible-to-guarantee decision with huge downsides. But if you do it right, the upside arguably approaches infinity. People postpone marriage for the same reason they're becoming less religious: we've lost the capacity for faith.

    God Does Not Exist (Simone Weil, Meister Eckhart, and Thomas Aquinas)

    I’m increasingly convinced that Christianity remains simply misunderstood by almost everybody, including so many Christians. The crux of the matter is best summarized as follows. God does not exist. That is why one prays.

    So for today’s talk I would like to explain this idea and walk through some of the most compelling thinkers who have said things to this effect.

    "When God has become as full of significance as the treasure is for the miser, we have to tell ourselves insistently that he does not exist. We must experience the fact that we love him, even if he does not exist." — Simone Weil


    "It is he who, through the operation of the dark night, withdraws himself in order not to be loved like the treasure is by the miser." — Simone Weil


    "A method of purification: to pray to God, not only in secret as far as men are concerned, but with the thought that God does not exist." — Simone Weil


    "If we love God while thinking that he does not exist, he will manifest his existence." — Simone Weil


    "Ein Gott, denn is gibt, gibt es nicht" (A God that exists, does not exist) — Meister Eckhart


    "Ipsum esse subsistens" (God is the act of 'to be', subsistence rather than existence) — Thomas Aquinas

    The Physicist of the Soul: Simone Weil

    T.S. Eliot called her “a kind of genius akin to that of the saints." Simone Weil developed a unique theory of Christianity based on law-like regularities in human experience. This podcast introduces her book Gravity and Grace.

    "Creation is composed of the descending movement of gravity, the ascending movement of grace and the descending movement of the second degree of grace."
