The Supreme Object of Positive Theology

The material object is real and only described by the symbolic, formless, spiritual definition of the object (toward epistemology)

The Father is Ultimate Truth Who “describes” but does not literally describe Ultimate Reality, and this Ultimate Reality is the Trinity, which includes Perfect Truth as a description of the Highest Reality. The Highest Reality symbolically described is Perfect Beauty (the Son) and Perfect Goodness (Holy Spirit) Who are a real existing object attained called the Trinity, the Highest Object in the Kosmos, the Zenith of Evolution in the Kosmos.

The Trinity is a Generating Object and not merely a generating principle which is the Father or Ultimate Truth. The Father is indeed Formless, but is “circumscribed” by His definition of the Trinity. The “One” of Plotinus is not the Trinity and is not the whole of God but is the Father, or Perfect Truth. The One must include the Highest Object which is the Trinity.

Positive Theology defines a multiplicity of evolving objects. Life is evolving objects, born and evolved from the Primary Materia. “Negative Theology” comes from centering on the Father and tends to speak only of what God is not, overlooking the concept that the Father is not an “object” but is Perfect Truth describing the Supreme Object. Negative Theology tends to make one eventually define God as essentially Nothing. Indian mysticism reflects Negative Theology going back to the earliest sacred works. Other religions followed.

God is the Supreme Object of evolution for all lower realities, but the object is not “merely” Perfect Truth (the Father) freed from all object limitation. Perfect Truth is “only” symbolic definition, the Supreme Object is the Trinity, the Highest Object in the evolving Kosmos. Yet Perfect Truth has the High Power of the Trinity and is yet to be understood by mankind. And we have yet to understand what could be the “spiritual atoms,” or God Atoms of the Supreme Object.

Now it happens that the Revealed Religions going back to Primordial Tradition began mistakenly describing the Soul or Spirit Within, or the Perfect Truth, as God; they were not describing the Real Object God, Who is the Trinity, they were seeing “only” the Soul Within. “God is more minute than the minutest, but in whom is the entire universe and all beings, is the imperishable Brahman—God; he is the life force...” Mundakopanishad 2.2.2.

Centering on the Soul Within is defined in the Evolutionary Christian Church as the sacred Involutionary Inward Path. The Inward Path is not object-oriented or materially-oriented, it is spiritually oriented. The better one sees the Soul Within the more blissful is the experience, often described as Supreme Consciousness, or even as Godhood. Alas, it is here with the Inward Path that the Great Spiritual Blockade began, which tragically separated spiritual ends from material means, the object from the definition of the object, and this helped block material objects from evolving to the Highest Object in the Kosmos, which is the Trinity, Godhood.

The return of the world to God means following the Evolutionary Outward Path which evolves material life to God. The Inner Path of the Soul is the closest we can come to God at this level of evolution. We can be instructed and infused with Truths from the Soul Within, which can discern the Spirit, as seen and examined since ancient times by spiritual masters, but we must not mistake the Zenith of the Mind or Perfect Truth Within for God, just as we must not mistake the symbolic description of Perfect Truth of the Father with the Supreme Object of the Trinity.

Let us evolve to Godhood, seeking the Supreme Object of Positive Theology, by applying both the Inward and Outward Paths.
