# Divine Simplicity

Divine simplicity means that god is simple and does not have any p
arts. I'm not a Christian so I'll explain this from a Hermetic and
Neoplatonic perspective. I don't think the difference is massive t
hough.

God as THE ONE (Monad) is like a mental version of big bang. It's
the cause of everything. This could be hard to understand first if
you are an atheist. But god is literally an abstract implementatio
n of eternal principles. Especially in Hermeticism, Gnosticism and
similar religions.

In big bang, there was only one type of force. But after the unive
rse sufficiently cooled down, the only force divided into the four
fundamental forces. Gravitational, Electromagnetic, Strong nuclear
, Weak nuclear.

Similarily, in the beginning there was THE ONE. Then THE ONE divid
ed into ("Emanation") good, truth, beauty, ..., everything. Well,
emanation is more like self-replicating than dividing. Because THE
ONE does not disappear.

Therefore, god is the source of all truth and all goodness. God is
all of those at the same time. So if you want truth, you should kn
ow god. If you want goodness, you should know god. If you want bea
uty, you should know god. Because god is [THE ONE] = [THE ALL]. It
is simply the all. That's what divine simplicity means.
