Harmonic Theism
Creatio ex Concordia and the Divine Arrangement of Worlds
Purchase on Amazon ↗A symphonic theology in eight movements.
The first volume of Harmonic Theism reframes the central attributes of God not as static absolutes but as living harmonics. Omniscience becomes symnoesence, the resonance of shared knowing. Omnipresence becomes symphoaenia, manifest harmony at every scale. Omnipotence becomes sympraxence, power through collaboration rather than coercion. Eternity becomes harmonia, the cadence that sustains both time and the timeless.
From this rescoring follows a new doctrine of creation — creatio ex concordia, creation from concord — that threads between classical Christianity's creatio ex nihilo and Mormonism's creatio ex materia, weaving them into a participatory cosmology where God arranges rather than commands and where intelligences co-compose the worlds without end.
Along the way, the work draws from Joseph Smith and Dōgen, Lao Tzu and T.S. Eliot, Wittgenstein and Stephen Sondheim, the Daodejing and the Doctrine and Covenants, the Carina Nebula and the still point of the turning world.
For readers willing to listen carefully, this is not a theory of God. It is a rediscovery of His Divine Arrangement.
Before meaning, there was Light.
Before Light, there was Resonance.
Before Resonance, there was Listening.
There was Attention before Harmony.
God Almighty doesn't know, He is the act of knowing itself — a neural flutter between every synapse and every star. Symnoesence is the capacity to feel-through and perceive all perspectives simultaneously; knowledge is not a static repository but the resonant coherence of the universe's interweaving patterns — its divine moiré.
The universe is not ruled, it resonates. God does not stand over creation, He composes its ongoing music. He conducts and harmonizes with every participating intelligence who dares to play their instrumental part; He tunes, orients, and sustains them. Creation does not obey its Conductor by coercion; it joins His harmony by compositional alignment, by annotated heed, and by responding resonance with the First-Person Light.
Eight movements that move from the silent flames of Genesis to the radiant interior of the Godhead.
- PreludePrelude of LightThe Silent Flames of Genesis
A meditation on what precedes meaning. Before Light there was Resonance; before Resonance, Listening; before Harmony, Attention.
- Suite IThe Semantics of HeavenSonatas on the Still Point
The crisis of change in classical divinity, and the four new harmonic attributes which rescore the Omni’s for the Eternal God of all gods, leaving the Omnis to God the Father.
- Suite IIThe Harmonization of Heaven and EarthHymns on the Heavens
The Veil of Divine Condescension. How God can enter time without losing divinity by filtering and retuning rather than diminishing.
- Suite IIICreatio ex ConcordiaConcertos on Cosmologies
The central proposal. Creation read not ex nihilo nor strictly ex materia, but as ongoing arrangement of eternally coexisting intelligences into harmonic relation. Mormonism as a Cosmos of Concord.
- Suite IVThe Syntax-driven Lights of HeavenEtudes on Intelligence
The eternal tabernacle of God and the architecture of intelligence. Where Daoist acosmotism meets Mormon ontology and yields ars concordialis — the art of concord.
- Suite VThe Mind-Body ProblemArias of Actualization
Consciousness as structured, meaningful valence. Christ as the Compass, the radiant axis, the still point around which every true motion dances.
- FinaleThe Divine Arrangement of Worlds
The summative movement. God Almighty as Eternal Ground; God the Father as fully realized participant; Christ as guardian of the threshold. "This is not a theory of God. It is a rediscovery of His Divine Arrangement."
- EncoreI’ve a Mother ThereNocturnes on Mother
A devotional turn toward the Heavenly Mother — the Tree of Harmony, the Musical Tonic, the Center of Gravity — and the Daughters of God who carry her cadence.
- PostludePostlude of SoundBenedictive Meditations
A closing benediction and meditations for the reader to carry forward.
