Horatio W. Dresser's book, "The Power of Silence," explores the concept of an immanent God and its implications for human life. Dresser argues that God is not a distant, transcendent entity, but is actively present in the universe, shaping both the physical world and the human mind. He maintains that suffering and pain stem from a lack of harmony with this immanent God and that true self-help lies in acknowledging God's presence and aligning one's actions and thoughts accordingly. The book examines how human consciousness interacts with the physical world, emphasizing the role of the mind in shaping our experiences. Dresser advocates for a holistic approach to life, embracing both the physical and spiritual aspects, and emphasizes the importance of introspection, meditation, and a focus on the pursuit of ideals.
