Involution and Evolution, Convergence and Divergence


I would basically interpret Teilhard De Chardin as wanting the whole world to involve, not evolve, to the Soul-State, Nirvana, the Father,, the Christ-State, the Omega Point, which in Evolutionary Christianity is the goal of the Involutionary Inward Path and not the goal of the Evolutionary Outward Path. The goal of involution can become devolution if it is exclusively followed, because all the desires of the flesh and of the material world, including evolution, need to be blocked to attain the Christ-State, or Nirvana.

The main problem here stems from the ancient definition of God as non-material which makes the non-material sacred, this tends to lead to hatred of the material world. But when Godhood is seen as supermaterial, not non-material, then the Great Spiritual Blockade to Godhood can be unblocked and life can diverge and converge in evolution to Godhood.

Love is not merely the urge to converge and unite with centration, which Teilhard bases his system on, love is more essentially the urge to evolve to Godhood. Convergence secures the order, but divergence affirms ongoing evolution, in an Ordered Evolution.  It is the love of Godhood that activates love in general, which activates survival and reproduction to evolve to Godhood.
