There is much flim flam in religious social philosophy. Religion would really like to say: “Look, basically, material life is not spiritual life, and material life must be completely blocked to see God Within.” But only a small number of humans can take up the celibate life, and leave the world, to center on the Soul Within and God. Life is all around, everywhere one looks there is growing life, changing, dying, being born, it is not easy to turn away from life or to tell humanity to turn away from life.
There has been very clever and subtle reasoning and rationalizing, by very clever and subtle religious philosophers, which basically tried to soften the stark fact that material life must be blocked to see the Soul-Within. Life is so strong that it has certainly continued to turn away from spiritual things, one way or the other. Spiritual philosophers have managed to divert, soften or sublimate the stark natural drives of life. But only partially, and in some ages more than others. Most of the time spiritual life has lost out to material life, and this has been bemoaned by religious thinkers. Millions of people have been caused to feel like religious failures, or considered worse, by being religiously misdirected in this way.
The Evolutionary Christian Church (ECC) believes that spirituality will continue to lose ground to materialism mainly because there has been a tragic religious mistake made by established religions in relegating material life to a secondary and expendable position in religion. Material life should have been seen for what it is, a sacred path to attain Godhood through material evolution. If this had been known or affirmed all along, much of the flim flam in religious social philosophy could have been avoided.
The Soul-Within (which is the zenith of the body) can continue to be affirmed in religion, and in religious social philosophy, as it is in ECC, with the Involutionary Inward Path, but this is not done at the dark expense of virtually dismissing the Spirit-Within and material life. Religious social philosophy can then be less rationalizing, more direct, truer and healthier. But most importantly, we will not have cut off attaining Godhood, by tragically misusing the Great Spiritual Blockade, which has muddied and complicated religious social philosophy for the past two thousand years. With the Evolutionary Outward Path we can attain God through evolution, the God we have first seen from the Soul-Within.
