"The concupiscence of matter incessantly attracts a new form."
-John Mehung (from World Wisdom)
The Evolutionary Christian Church (ECC) views the ascetic life as one of the Twofold Path in theology, but the ascetic life becomes a problem when it is the sole path, the sole life style. Then it can become a Great Spiritual Blockade against evolving to Godhood through material evolution.
Religious asceticism cares not for the material world, or differentiations in the world of any kind, which are considered negative bonds. This is not caring about differences like liberal democracy, this derives from not caring at all about material things.
“Purification” is sought in the ascetic life, but this is one of the Twofold Path in the theology of ECC. The ascetic life becomes a problem when it is the sole path, the sole life style. It can then become a Great Spiritual Blockade against evolving to real Godhood by way of (the hated) material evolution.
It is the Soul and Spirit that is seen in Enlightenment, and it is understandable that the Spirit could be mistaken for Godhood, since the Spirit is virtually eternal. But it is Godhood the Spirit seeks, and not Itself alone. The material world was created for this reason, for this purpose, which is why the material world is vital to the Spirit, and not something acosmic or abhorrent.
