Self Esteem and Godhood
The narcissistic idea that we are gods is seen in past and present religions. But we are not anywhere near evolved enough to be Gods, no matter how much self esteem we give ourselves.
We need to accomplish evolution to Godhood, the Spirit Within is not God, therefore we are not wonderful without accomplishing something, which affirms the old work ethic.
Concentrating so totally on “individual transformation,” as the new age and the “evolutionary spirituality” movements are doing (not unlike the Revealed Religions) keeps man more or less in his same human place.
If we define the Spirit Within correctly as not God but as activating us to evolve to God, then we can retain the various meditations and mind disciplines of old and new religions, as we do with the Involutionary Inward Path. But without the Twofold Path connection with the Evolutionary Outward Path we will not reach Godhood.
