Symbolic and Real God

The Inward Path needs to allow the Outward Path

In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna taught much the same things as Jesus Christ did in the New Testament, but with different cultural phases, and images. These men taught in symbols, yet they have been often understood literally. Religious Tradition West and East can be understood as being similar when they are seen symbolically rather than literally. Ecumenism can this way apply.

The God-Within, the Father, whom Jesus and Krishna intimately knew and felt, does not literally make these men God, they were speaking of the God within all men, within all nature, whom they have become completely identified with in their lives. This understanding was very difficult to come by, requiring much discipline, forsaking all the desires of the flesh. This is the God-Within of the Involutionary Inward Path in the Theoevolutionary Church. This is the God of Tradition, the ecumenical God.

Evolutionary Christianity presents the Twofold Path in affirming the Evolutionary Outward Path, which is the Path of Evolution, this is not the Path to the God Within but the Path to the Godhood Without, who is attained at the Zenith of Evolution, from the material to the supermaterial and Godhood. This is not a symbolic or virtual God, this is Real Godhood, the Supreme Object.

There has been a Great Spiritual Blockade against the Real God, total identity has gone to the bliss of experiencing the God Within, which has blocked our evolution to Real Godhood. The Paths need to be reoriented, the Inward Path needs to allow the Outward Path. Religion can join the real world and use all knowledge to help all people evolve to Kosmic Godhood, while holding on to the God Within of Tradition to give us a divine glimpse of Real Godhood.
