Divine and Profane Evolution

There is nothing really new in the latest evolutionary spirituality of people like Ken Wilber and Andrew Cohen, who promote the old Involutionary Inward Path of Tradition to the Soul Within, but not the Evolutionary Outward Path of material-supermaterial evolution to Godhood. This new-old evolutionary spirituality is now a money-making religious business.

Evolution is not merely the evolution of human consciousness, or cultural evolution, evolution is material and supermaterial evolution beyond the human species. This is of course politically incorrect but never-the-less it must be told.

The Spirit Within is always trying to ride the vehicle of material evolution to Godhood. It is not trying to “escape” the material world or evolve only consciousness at the human level. The Spirit is the determined, activating, drive of evolution from within, which means that evolution is not completely random. Mutations are subject to undetermined natural selection and shaping from without by evolution.

It is our task to become conscious of the divine path of evolution to Godhood, and to counter the profane path of devolution and entropy.
