The Evolutionary Christian Church contains both the negative theology of the Inward Path and the positive theology of the Outward Path in the Twofold Path.
A traditional example of negative theology would be John Mehung's statement that “The concupiscence of matter incessantly attracts a new form,” meaning this in a negative way, applying negative theology. The Soul Within is seen by blocking out the material world, and for this, negative theology is necessary.
And why does the concupiscence of matter incessantly attract a new form? This is evolution! Matter seeks to evolve, eventually to Godhood. This is the positive theology of the Outward Path. The Spirit Within activates life to evolve to Godhood in conjunction with natural evolution.
We see the Soul Within (Zenith of the Mind) applying negative theology, which identifies with God, and gives us the blissful hint of the power of Godhood, and we see the Spirit Within (Zenith of the Soul) when applying positive theology, where the Spirit is understood and experienced as the activator of material life to evolve to the Godhood, the Godhood seen in the negative theology of the Inward Path.
