From Ecumenism to the Evolutionary Outward Path

First and Second Force In the Theoevolutionary Church

Uniting the Two Paths

In the Theoevolutionary Church, the Second Force is more or less the proscription of the Traditionalist School. This seems to be the path of ecumenism. The proponents of this school (Guenon, Schuon, Burckhardt, Lings, Nasr) believe that all the world's religions, in their original forms, from the Hindus and Kabbalah, to the Revealed Religions, are equally valid and lead to what TC (not the Traditionalist School) defines as the Involutionary Inward Path to the Soul-Within. But since this school is highly critical of the material world, yet alone critical of modern thoughts and ideas, this is only the Second Force in TC for ecumenism in the world.

The First Force embraces the Evolutionary Outward Path, and the Activation-Within requiring the sacred advance of material-spiritual evolution all the way to True Godhood. The material world is blocked in the Great Spiritual Blockade of the Inward Path, described above, which is only the Second Force of ecumenism leading to the Soul-Within. Unlike the Traditionalist School, we do not reject the Inward Path as they reject the Outward Path. Both Paths are necessary.
