Toward a simpler, more elegant metaphysics

Angel's may be Penultimate Gods

Heidegger thought that Scholastic metaphysics constitute an oblivion of Being (“Heidegger and Aquinas,” Caputo), but I think religion and philosophy in general have created an oblivion of Being.

How much simpler, elegant, to suggest that all is materiality and supermateriality, which may even explain Angels and Godhood, as well as human life. The lower material evolves to the higher supermaterial. Hairsplitting arguments about “form” and “substance,” “Potentiality,” “purity” and “spiritual versus material” no longer apply.

Angels may be Penultimate Gods, made of nearly the same supermaterial substance as Godhood, which are not nonmaterial pure spirit or pure act. Angels and Godhood are the highest evolved Beings in the cosmos, yet made of the same material and supermateriality as the rest of the cosmos.

But then, perhaps the term Angel has too much past tradition with it to apply to evolution of higher beings in theological materialism.
