By definition, substance is its own immediate cause
Conceived through itself entirely by strict internal laws
By axiom, what is cannot be brought from what is not
And infinite perfection is the only nature sought
If two shared one same attribute, no difference would remain
And substance is indivisible, no part to sever twain
So God is absolutely infinite and uncreated
A singular reality that cannot be debated
The proposition stands: there is one substance that we know
Where Deus sive Natura is the only causal flow
The attribute of matter and the attribute of mind
The single infinite substance that the intellect will find
We demonstrate the attributes the substance will express
Which constitute the essence that the intellect assess
We only comprehend extension and the thinking mind
Two parallel expressions of the unity we find
An individual entity is nothing but a mode
A finite modification that the causal chain bestowed
The human mind is just the idea of the body’s state
Two parallel occurrences that perfectly correlate
The proposition stands: there is one substance that we know
Where Deus sive Natura is the only causal flow
The attribute of matter and the attribute of mind
The single infinite substance that the intellect will find
Corollary reveals that every action is a chain
Of strict necessity within the geometric plane
The stone that has been thrown believes it chose to leave the hand
And thinks itself the author of the arc that it has spanned
The mind believes it chooses what it naturally desires
But prior causes dictate every action it requires
We act by strict necessity, we never act by choice
For God does not possess a teleological voice
The proposition stands: there is one substance that we know
Where Deus sive Natura is the only causal flow
The attribute of matter and the attribute of mind
The single infinite substance that the intellect will find
To view it sub specie aeternitatis makes us free
To understand the causes is the highest certainty
The intellectual love of God is knowing we are bound
Within the geometric order where the truth is found
Quod erat demonstrandum, the deduction has been drawn
The single infinite substance rigidly continues on
