A True Yunatic
Some thinkers don’t just challenge the system – they redesign reality. Benedictus de Spinoza didn’t live loudly, but he thought louder than most dared to. Expelled from his Jewish community for his radical ideas, he quietly wrote truths that would ripple through philosophy, science and soul for centuries.
Spinoza believed that God wasn’t a bearded figure in the sky, but the very fabric of the universe itself. Nature, thought, substance – it was all one, infinite, divine. He saw everything as connected and believed freedom came not from breaking rules, but from understanding the deeper order beneath them.
“God is the indwelling and not the transient cause of all things.” – Benedictus de Spinoza
The Inner Child
Spinoza’s inner child never stopped wondering at the stars or dismantling beliefs to see what was behind them. He found beauty in clarity, in logic, in the quiet poetry of understanding. Even while grinding lenses to survive, his mind kept magnifying the cosmos. That child wasn’t afraid to think differently. He just wanted to know what was true, no matter the cost.
Tribbles
His tribbles are subtle, powerful and still unfolding:
- Ethics – His magnum opus, written geometrically, mapping a divine, natural universe where emotion, reason and joy intersect.
- Pantheism – His view that God is in all things and all things are divine in nature.
- Influence on modern thinkers – Einstein called him a hero. He inspired centuries of philosophers, poets and scientists.
- The radical idea that understanding the universe is the path to joy – not fear, but alignment.
“The more you struggle to live, the less you live. Give up the notion that you must be sure of what you are doing. Just take action.”
Connected with the Yuniverse
Spinoza didn’t believe in a distant god. He saw the universe itself as sacred, intelligent, alive. In every tree, equation and emotion, he saw the unfolding of the same eternal substance. For him, to think deeply was to pray.
Spiritual
His spirituality was mathematical, joyful, embodied. He found peace not in belief, but in clarity, connection and cosmic awe.
Benedictus de Spinoza reminds us that the universe isn’t something to worship from afar – it’s something we’re already part of.
