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.
