The Godmind and Godhood

Being “rightly ordered” in traditional religion means attaining the Inward Path to the Godmind, and does not mean attaining Godhood of the Outward Path. It is condescending and incorrect of those who speak of the Kingdom of the God (Godmind) within and say they are not opposed to action, they are beyond action. Acton is the only way to attain Godhood, the action of material and supermaterial evolution.

We need not kill the Outward Path when we affirm the Inward Path. The great mystics did not come to destroy traditions but to fulfill the traditions. “Christ” is the Godmind, not Godhood. Jesus is the Christian path to the Godmind. Someone called the Gospel, the Christain Veda, or you could call parts of the Vedas the Hindu Gospel. Other traditional religions have slightly different paths to the Godmind, eg. Lao Tze, Krishna, Buddha, etc.

Becoming “one with the Father” (Atman) is attaining the Godmind which resides in the Soul-Within. Becoming Godhood is the goal of the Spirit-Will which resides at the Zenith of the Soul. The Evolutionary Church affirms both paths in the Twofold Path, the Inward Path to the Godmind and the Outward Path to Godhood. One could call the Soul and the Godmind the Lower Mind, and the Spirit-Will and Godhood the Higher Mind. We can be both Godmind-centered and Godhood-centered. The mission is to move from the Lower Mind to the Higher Mind.
