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.
