Beyond Satori

The Evolutionary Bodhisattva

It is another New Age cop-out to describe eternity as “timelessness” in the “present moment,” or to describe the “now-moment” as eternity. The notion of “everlasting time,” or biological immortality is thus disparaged, (see Ken Wilber or Andrew Cohen) and so the Christian as well as the materialist view is disparaged.

Deeper knowledge within the now-moment, which Eastern religions are so found of, is blocked out by what we call “The Great Spiritual Blockade,” where Gurus East and West enjoy swimming and engorging themselves in their personal satoris.

That which we see and experience in the satori is a virtual glimpse of that which we must evolve to, biologically and spiritually, so that we can attain everlasting life and Godhood --- not merely dwelling in the Spirit's present moment.

A “Virtual Bodhisattva” seeks to sink the material world into the now-moment of human satori. The “Evolutionary Bodhisattva” seeks the evolution of the human-experienced satori all the way to God-experienced Godhood, by way of material-spiritual evolution.
