Praxis And The Call To Development

The Eastern “union of non-dualism” is the goal of the Involutionary Inward Path, which the Western Christians define as “communion with God.” This I define as identification with God. I would use the Greek word “Praxis” here to indicate the integration or synthesis of Identification (union or communion) with God, and Evolution, which formerly could be seen in the theological paths of “action” and “contemplation.” The Evolutionary Outward Path is the path of action or evolution and the Involutionary Inward Path is the path of reflection or identification. Identification with God is not the attainment of Godhood.

Let us have the inward identification with God, but let us see this as preliminary to our Kosmic evolution to Godhood. This is the Twofold Path of the new Praxis in the Theoevolutionary Church. The world was originally created by God but the world also belongs to us since our main charge, our main goal, is to evolve materially and supermaterially to Godhood. There is a time to sit back detached from the world identifying with God, and a time to evolve to Godhood.

God gave us the Spirit Within, which is defined as the Will To Godhood in the Evolutionary Christian Church, and the Spirit activates us, in conjunction with natural evolution, to evolve to Godhood. We believe that the Theoevolutionary Church is therefore called to develop empowered by the Holy Spirit.
