How We Can Know The Thing-In-Itself

Thinking does not have to exclusively reach beyond itself to transcendental things-in-themselves, the activating power of the Will to Godhood or the Holy Spirit Within us, which actually is material, seems to have knowledge of It's destination, which is knowledge of Godhood. Yes, this knowledge is “transcendental” in the sense of the highest evolution, but it is immanent within us and we can therefore have at least a glimpse of the Thing-In-Itself called Godhood---although evolution never ceases and there is therefore no final Thing-in-itself. It is a partial knowledge of Godhood because full knowledge, or Absolute Truth, comes only when we evolve all the way to Godhood in the cosmos.

The true task of the Involutionary Inward Path in Evolutionary Christianity is to reach beneath to the Soul—which is the human mind at its zenith-- and see the Spirit-Will that lies at the Zenith of the Soul, where the Thing-In-Itself can be somewhat grasped. It is the Soul at the Zenith of the Mind where intellectual intuition takes place, and where we can discern the Spirit-Will.

Reason and logic are known in the mind and Soul, where the mind can grasp the deepest reason and logic of evolution and try to harmonize with it. Evolution moves more or less dialectically toward Godhood, from the simple to the refined etc., and the mind can grasp this, which is the deepest reason and logic. The task of the Evolutionary Outward Path is to make possible the evolution to Godhood.

The Soul, Reason and Logic are activated by the Will to Godhood, or the Holy Spirit, which knows Its goal but does not determine the exact paths that evolution will take in evolving to Godhood.
