Morality and Cyclic Evolution

Even Godhood is subject to the activation of the Spirit-Will, which transforms Godhood into Kosmos Godhood. But this does not mean that the Spirit-Will is more important than Godhood since it is Godhood that the Spirit-Will seeks in Kosmic evolution. The Divine Spirit-Will can thus exist when Godhood has not yet been attained. To adapt Kant, “ought” implies “can” in that we are able to reach the moral perfection of Godhood through evolution, if not in this life than in the next with our evolved distant descendents.

This is an endless cycle of unseparated essence-Spirit-Will and existence-Body evolving to Godhood, sometimes falling back in entropy, then beginning again, and finally attaining Godhood, after which a new Kosmic Godhood  is attained. This is how we can define an internal Divine Spirit-Will which even Godhood is subject to, yet is not beneath. Morality and ethics stem from this order, this Divine Spirit-Will, this Godhood, and evil stems from going against this evolving order.

This more or less combines the divine command and the autonomy theories of theology. Godhood commands the next world, but the Spirit-Will activates that world, and life must find the way to harmonize with the activation of the Spirit-Will within, and with the outside shaping of evolution.
