The Laughter of God: Selected Writings of John Roland Stahl

"If we were to start all over again with "Nothingness," sooner or later God would have to appear, popping into existence Himself as His laughter creates His cosmos."

The Laughter of God is an extravagant collection of essays, covering everything from the origin of the cosmos ex nihilo, to the planets and metals of Astrology and Alchemy, to the Tree of Life and Tetragrammaton of the Hebrew Kabbalah, to the Tao and the I Ching from China; describing the nature and meaning of God, the solution to the problem of evil, the nature of consciousness, and the future of life on earth.

John Roland Stahl is a Papermaker, Printer, Bookbinder, Philosopher, and Visionary publishing under the name of The Evanescent Press since 1971 in Montreal. He now lives in northern California.

Over the years, the Author has become more radical, continuing with abstract metaphysics, but also including essays on social, economic, and political themes amounting to a whole new make-over of the planet. The present volume covers early writings to 2009. More Laughter covers recent articles up to 2018.

Since the world is rapidly falling apart on all sides, something has to be done, and quickly. Here is a comprehensive collection of suggestions from a radical visionary philosopher.
