Overcoming The Oblivion Of Being
How can we overcome what Heidegger called “the oblivion of Being?” I redefine what has been defined
as a subsistent ever-present Being and instead speak of a
Supermaterial Transforming Being, or an evolving and reproducing
Being.
This means that a subsistent
ever-present Being in the old metaphysical sense does not exist and
that Being exits in the elements of being-offspring, much as our ancestors exits in our genome. The Spirt-Will is this ongoing material activator within life which moves forward always and only through material evolution.
Meanwhile old cosmo's offer continual
chances for life to evolve to Godhood, overcoming entropy, time and
again, or beginning again after collapse.
Being/Godhood is “oblivious” to us
for the reasons that St. Thomas Aquinas gave: our understanding
remains concealed due to the infirmity of our minds, which I explain
as lower and higher levels of evolutionary development, and not to spiritual enlightenment. Being itself
does not “withdraw” as Heidegger suggests. The only “withdrawal”
is not a withdrawal but a transforming reproduction.
