Human power and God's power

Do we not have the right to “tamper” with nature? We are made in the image of God, and if we are wise we can be creators, not as great as God, but we can be evolving creators. Contrary to various religious perspectives that center solely on the Soul or Spirit of the Inward Path, we have to believe in human power. We can renew the earth. We can certainly reach the stars and beyond, we must.

What we want to avoid is the tyranny of scientism, with no concern or understanding of God, discarding the great Mystery, and God's creation. We want to avoid science divested of religion, which even now is leading to the destruction of the earth. Science need not build “Satanic mills,” science and religion can build a new Eden.

One of the things we like about the times leading out of the Middle Ages to the Age of Enlightenment was the occult combination of science and religion. We seek to once again combine religion and science, as the Involutionary Inward Path of Tradition joins the Evolutionary Outward Path leading to the evolution to God.
