The Theoevolutionary Church affirms God as the Other, in the Judaeo-Christian tradition, rather than concentrating exclusively on the Involutionary Soul or Self of Perennial and Eastern philosophy.
God is seen in the Inner Spirit as the Spirit Within, but God is most essentially the Other from which the Inner Spirit derived. And furthermore we evolve to Godhood, the Other, we do not involve to the Other.
The “Great Chain Of Being,” described in perennial philosophy as from matter to body to soul to spirit describes the Involutionary Path. The Evolutionary Path is described as from Godhood to Spirit to Matter to Godhood. Both Paths are affirmed in the Twofold Path of the Theoevolutionary Church.
It may have been convenient to define Involution as Evolution, as the New Age and some Eastern mystics tended to do, but what they describe is nevertheless involution. We do not evolve to the “superconsciousness” of the great mystics, we involve to this state. Involution may be a “rediscovery “ of the soul, but evolution is a discovery of Godhood, the Great Other.
