Former grad student in the academic study of religion - I say that so you don't think I'm just 'talking out of my ass'. Lovecraft's *literary philosophy* is called cosmicism. It's not simply "disbelief" but that humanity itself - with all its art, religion, science, etc. - is *irrelevant*. Whatever human think or feel doesn't matter - so a flavor of nihilism. A fun literary adventure, but I wouldn't want to live there. This will help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmicism Now, real, historical philosophical religion that articulates the 'divine mind' can be found in the 9-11th century north Indian tradition of Kashmiri Shaivism. This tradition folded a number of 'schools' under one umbrella. A text like Vijna-Bhairava "the wisdom of Bhairava" is a good starter text for your exploration. The text has 112 brief and experiential/practical meditations on the nature of the divine mind. Examples: looking at the cloudless blue sky and making your mind like that. Another: the moment before you sneeze - that blank moment. This is a real, historical, canonical text translated and commented on by Swami Laksmanjoo - he was the definite article. Nothing in this text should be anything offensive to Christian sentiment. https://www.amazon.com/Manual-Self-Realization-Meditations-Lakshmanjoo/dp/0981622844/ref=monarch_sidesheet_title Here's more details. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratyabhijna https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashmir_Shaivism
