Spiritual as Material?

We have heard the question what if the material is not material but is fundamentally spiritual? We turn this around and ask what if the spiritual is fundamentally material? These are two of the same thing, but the approach to them is important. The Involutionary Inward Path of Traditional religion has virtually hated the material world and so prefers the spiritual side of this picture, and science until recently with modern physics (at least somewhat) has denied the spiritual. When the Spirit Within is seen not as God but as the “seed” of the Kosmic Beginning, then no real separation need be expressed. The Spirit Within helps or activates life to evolve materially-spiritually to Godhood. And God is the zenith of material-spiritual evolution in the Kosmos. We need both the Inward Path to the Spirit and the Outward Path to God.
