Primordial wisdom and new myth-making in the Evolutionary Christian Church

We intuit as well as reason that there was an original primordial wisdom which was dispersed, like a prism refracting light, into various later religions. Today the Vedas of India, and perhaps a few oral dispensers of Vedic wisdom, probably contain the largest amount of material that remains from that primordial wisdom.

Christianity, and other religions refocused wisdom which had in some cases lost focus. Christ came to complete this wisdom. Catholicism contains the largest amount of primordial wisdom in the West.  The Theoevolutionary Church (TC) is again refocusing Christianity, not only back to the primordial wisdom but forward to the world of the Enlightenment and modern science.

In this sense, ECC initiates a new symbol-making or myth-making, while at the same time relating back to primordial wisdom. Basically, we have defined primordial wisdom as having been the Inward Path, which we affirm, and in addition, we have included the Outward Path of bio-spiritual evolution to God.

TC redeems the inward vision of God, that primordial glimpse of the ancient knowledge of God, while at the same time refocusing and defining Godhood as also Him who we must evolve to in the Kosmos. As a consequence of this task we have refocused old symbols, or created new symbols, since there seems to have been only hints, if that, of the conception of evolution to God in the primordial symbols and myths, although we are still searching.
