Great and Lesser Vehicles to Godhood

If we adapted the terms Great Vehicle (Mahayana) and Lesser Vehicle (Hinayana) from the branches of Buddhism---using the terms, not the principles---we could define the Twofold Path in the Evolutionary Christian Church (ECC), that is, the Involutionary Inward and the Evolutionary Outward Paths, as the Lesser (Inward) and Great (Outward) Vehicles to Godhood. But we must not then have any contempt or pejorative connotation for the Lesser Vehicle—we are speaking of a Twofold Path not a one-fold path.

The Lesser Inward Path discovered the Soul Within, which was great, but it also led to the Great Spiritual Blockade of calling the Soul God. The Great Outward Vehicle declares that the Spirit-Will is the Seed or Spark Of God, not God, which activates life in the cosmos to evolve materially to Godhood, to the God first hinted at and seen in the ancient Inward Path.

We combine both Paths, both Vehicles, thereby saving both Tradition and Science, and most importantly saving Godhood.
