The Purpose of The Evolutionary Christian Church

Godhood is not distinct from nature, Godhood is evolved to at the supermaterial zenith of the natural world.

The cosmos itself is not Godhood, we are not separate from Godhood, but we are far less evolved than Godhood. Godhood is the highest evolved being in the cosmos.

Within each living thing and in the cosmos itself is the Spirit-Will, or the Will To Godhood, which activates all things to evolve to Godhood, shaped by natural selection and evolution. All life is seeking eternal representation, or Godhood, either unconsciously or consciously, with varying degrees of success.

We are all on the Evolutionary Outward Path to Godhood, which is the purpose of life, and the purpose of the Evolutionary Christian Church. The Spirit-Will knows its goal but evolution proceeds as it proceeds, not always in the direction of Godhood. Many species have become extinct.

Before consciousness developed in mankind life was nevertheless activated to Godhood by the Spirit-Will. Men are gradually becoming aware of the purpose of life and the direction of evolution.  Men can be unreasonable, selfish, dishonest and lack courage in seeing the sacred purpose of life. Reason, science and intellectual intuition can be applied in seeing the sacred path of life and evolution. 

Life can seem meaningless when we are not in harmony with the activation of the Will To Godhood or the Spirit-Will. We can move in declining directions and feel religiously empty. The Evolutionary Christian Church is aware that evolving to Godhood, the purpose of life, is the most serious purpose we can serve.

In the Revealed Religions of the past, God was defined inwardly as the God-Within, which was seen in the Involutionary Inward Path. This was mankind's first glimpse of Godhood. We now know Godhood must be evolved to in the cosmos. Both paths are retained in the Twofold Path of the Evolutionary Christian Church.

We have evolved from reptile to ape to man, and we are evolving to higher man, and beyond to superman and Godhood, all activated from within by the Spirit-Will, and shaped from without by evolution. Some life is preserved, some life evolves, some life is lost in the evolutionary process.

We learn to value such things as higher consciousness, higher intelligence, beauty, good character, and we seek these traits for all people, all ethnic groups, each with their own unique advantages. All people, all life seeks Godhood.

Evolution thrives on competition, the challenge is to not let competition destroy all of mankind. Competition between people and states is good for developing many things, including technology and social cohesion (in-group altruism), but competition needs to be limited if the whole of humanity is threatened with extinction. Then no one can evolve to Godhood.

The Evolutionary Christian Church is devoted to the constant evolution of all people to Godhood. Each people, each ethnic group, each small state, follows its own path, based on its own culture and biology, and all can be protected in their independence with a light federalism, whether each state seeks representative government, or some other form. This sacred mission is voluntary, state and church can be separated, although all can be informed with knowledge of our evolution to Godhood.

Masses and festivals, such as the traditional Christian Mass of Sacrifice of the Inward Path, and the Mass of Joy of the Outward Path of the Evolutionary Christian Church, can be celebrated in the Twofold Path, to help raise the consciousness and bonding of the people.  We need to value evolutionary advancement more then consumer goods.

Revitalized Conservatism and Ordered Evolution bring the new into the old without destroying the old.  We have seen the progress of mankind from the paleolithic to high civilization and we seek to continue this progress out into the cosmos, all the way to Godhood.
