Being and Supermaterial Spirit

Being is represented by the Inward Dynamis of the Spirit-Will in man, existing in the “in-itself” of the body as the “thing-in-itself.”

This is “a prior,” and is not always conscious in man, but Spirit-Will could also be “a posteriori” if science rises to define it. 

Nevertheless, Spirit-Will is the primary activator of life from the inside, which is then shaped by evolution from outside. But Spirit-Will is supermaterial, therefore Spirit-Will (thing) and body (in-itself) are not dualistic.

The Soul, Mind and Ego (self-consciousness) grow or evolve out of the activation of the Spirit-Will, and they can be blind to the Spirit-Will because the mind is busy with daily living. This can be seen as Mind (mind-Soul) over Being (Spirit-Will).

Traditional mystics have reached the Soul by blocking the ego of the mind, etc., and here mystics experience the bliss of desirelessness. But this Soul-bliss seems blind to the Being or Spirit-Will which activates even the Soul.

However, the being (small b) of the Spirit-Will seeks the Being of Godhood, and it is for this purpose that the Spirit-Will activates life to evolve to Godhood. This means that Higher Being resides in Godhood and Lower being resides in the Spirit-Will.

The Inward Path to the Soul is the path of Traditionalism.  The Outward Path of the Spirit-Will seeking Godhood is added to inward Traditionalism in the Twofold Path.
