Truth is the Object

Theological materialism rather than metaphysics

“...What if that which is early outdistanced everything late?...(Heidegger)

I think of “truth” in terms of objects, living objects, not in terms of light and darkness, as the Ancient Greeks, or mathematical principles, as the moderns.

Light and darkness and mathematical principles can denote and define truth but they are not truth. Truth is the object.

Objects can be supermaterial, which in the past was called “spiritual,” yet they are none-the-less objects and material.

I see gradations of the level of the evolution of objects, from simple to complex, from material to supermateral, from atom to Godhood, all as objects and superobjects.

I see no “emerging from concealment,” the highest transforms or evolves into the lowest, and the lowest evolves to the highest. I see no “oblivion of Being.” What is concealed is ignorance of the object.

I see the cause of the cosmos as the evolution of all living objects to Godhood, each object or group of objects in its own variation, with backward going and sideways going and stops along the Path.

I see this not as pre-Platonic but perhaps as pre-pre-Platonic, or when reality was objects, however unevolved or evolved they might be. This is Theological Materialism rather than metaphysics.
