The Revitalization

The degree of ecumenism advocated

I believe that the sacred works of the Revealed Religions can be a part of the Bible. Why? All are based in the Involutionary Inward Path of serene identification with the God-Within.

For example, to apply Brahmabandhav's comparison of Christianity and Vedanta, A. The Thomistic God of pure being is like the Vedantic absolute, the Brahma---In the Theoevolutionary Church (TC) this is identification only of the God within the human Soul within the human being. B. God the Son, the Logos, is like Cit—thought, awareness---InTC the Logos is purely principle and definition, with no body or being. C. The Holy Spirit is like ananda, joy, bliss---In TC the Holy Spirit is the Will To Godhood activating life to evolve to Godhood. D. Jesus Christ takes his place alongside the great Involutionary religious founders, defined as great and rare religious geniuses, identifiers of the God within, and not really avatars, the coming to earth of God.

Christianity is the religion of the West, and I am from the West. Christianity has taught the West the religious values of the Involutionary Inward Path. For me loyalty to Christ does not involve rejecting other religions. I affirm the Theoevolutionary Church simply because it is the most complete religion in the West.

The addition of the Evolutionary Outward Path, and the Twofold Path, holds that material life evolves to supermaterial life and on eventually to Godhood, the God first seen, or identified with, in the Inward Path of the Revealed Religions. I consider the Theoevolutionary Church and the Outward Path a reformulation of religion, a revitalization of religion, a term I prefer to “radical,” although the changes advocated are considerable.

I also interpret the Revealed Religions in categories from Cattell's Beyondism, and other evolutionists. “Sin” and “salvation” I define in terms of devolution and evolution, and the restoration of evolution to Godhood. All of Culture revolves around this interpretation.
