On the exile of man

The old religious masters say something like “man is a spiritual being exiled to a world of matter.” We transform this into saying that man is a material being exiled to a religious world of the spirit.

This explains what we call the Great Spiritual Blockade against evolving to Godhood. However, rather than utterly rejecting the Inward Path (as religion essentially rejects the Outward Path) we retain the Involutionary Inward Path of the Revealed religions in the Twofold Path.

The Spiritual God seen from within in the Inward Path is the spiritual-material God we must evolve to with the Evolutionary Outward Path. This is why we transvalue the discipline and say that man must be released from the limitations imposed by the Spiritual Blockade, not by a material blockade.
