Second and Third Birth in the Twofold Path
Evolutionary Christianity moves beyond
the second birth of the Inward Path to the third birth of the Outward Path. This is the next meaning of being “born again.”
We join with the tradition of the
Inward Path when we synthesize tradition with the Outward Path, which
helps explain Revitalized Conservatism and Ordered Evolution.
The Inward Path can help us understand
the goal of the Outward Path. The Inward Path says “I am,” the
Outward Path says “I will become.” The second birth is a baptism
by the calming waters of the Soul, the third birth is baptism by the
activating fire of the Spirit-Will.
Ravi Ravindra said one needs to be
prepared not only to understand truth but also to withstand truth.
The Inward Path helps to make the
imperceptible Outward Path perceptible, much like art can do in
Evolutionary Realism.
