Esoterism, Religion and the Evolutionary Christian Church

We prefer, at least at this time, not to get caught up in the arcane “battles” of the Traditionalist School with exoteric religions, because going inward, which we call involution, and seeing God, or at least experiencing an astonishing aspect of God, is only half (if that) of our spiritual path. We think that it has been possible in both authentic Tradition and inauthentic religion to find the God within, although a Traditionalist initiation is probably the better path to inward enlightenment. Roman Catholicism in the West possesses such a way to know God within, as witnessed by the mystics and saints, and Catholicism has included other excellent Western knowledge. Hinduism also has its saints and it has, perhaps, preserved more of very ancient, authentic Tradition than any present organization, with the Abrahamic Tradition following close behind.

Our task has been to introduce the entirely neglected bio-spiritual element which leads to true Godhood, that is, biological evolution. We think that a Great Spiritual Blockade has taken place in Tradition and in religions, which has blocked knowledge of the bio-spiritual path of evolution to God, and we have found no evidence that this is a hidden dimension within Tradition, to the contrary, biology has been considered almost satanic when in reality biology is the method to evolve to Godhood. We would have compared our actions to cutting the Gordian Knot, had we not appreciation for the Traditionalists, who prefer to laboriously untie the knot, so we respectfully leave them to their ritual. Also, our respect for the general philosophy of Conservatism keeps us working within “the possible.”
