The Theophysiology of the Theoevolutionary Church
Carl Jung wanted to reconcile “good” and “evil” in the same manner that one reconciles other opposites within the psyche, e.g. ego-unconscious, masculine-feminine, ego-self. That is, Jung located this reconciliation exclusively within the psyche.
Religious Jungians tend to consider the “opposites” of “spirit” and “matter” rather than “good” and “evil,” and they want to “resolve” this by being transformed by “God’s grace” in such a way that we choose the good rather than the evil, and also by transcending the Self.
The Theoevolutionary Church reconciles good and evil, spirit and matter, with the dynamic of evolution, which can transform matter into spirit, and defines the Soul within as that element of God and the activating Spirit which helps us see and define the God whom the Spirit seeks, by way of evolution of the body along with the Soul to Godhood.
“Good” is, among other things, this affirmation of evolution and life to Godhood; “evil” is, among other things, the denial and death of life and evolution. Matter is not “evil,” as the Gnostics would seem to have it, matter is the stuff out of which evolution takes place. Evil is the obstruction of matter in its potential evolution to Godhood.
Various sages and prophets have examined the depths within man and identified the Spirit or Soul within, with God. The Theoevolutionary Church adds or includes the dynamic of evolution along with the wisdom of the ancients concerning the soul, the body, and religion, thus various forms of deep reconciliation can take place.
The Theoevolutionary Church resolves into a deeper center for the psyche, and a totality, in the activating Spirit and in the God we evolve to, with a wholeness deeper than the psyche alone, and with a broader view of God’s purpose and grace.
