On Consciousness, Evolution, and Godhood

The neurochemical basis of Enlightenment

It appears that consciousness is basically a neurochemical process of the brain (see Dennett's “Consciousness Explained”). We would greatly expand on this idea to say that the Soul, which we define as the Zenith of the Mind, or the Zenith of Consciousness, can see and know more and more as we evolve higher and higher “neurochemically” in evolution from man to superman, to Gods, and to Godhood.

It is not only the Soul, or consciousness that evolves, which is usually the position of the exclusively Involutionary Inward Path Religions. The mind and body evolve TOGETHER all the way to Godhood, the Evolutionary Outward Path of evolution fulfills the Involutionary Inward Path goal of the conscious Soul.

The human heart or Soul cannot “go to the lengths of God” (Christopher Fry), it can only identify the goal of Godhood. The “within of things” in involutionary religion does not truly go outside the space of the human senses, interior enlightenment is still virtually a neurochemical process, however rare it may be.

The Spirit may be both immanent and transcendent but it remains locked (but not imprisoned since the body is the vehicle for the evolution of the Spirit) within material life activating material life to evolve to Godhood. The Spirit remains at the Zenith of the Soul, activating all life to evolve to Godhood.
