Theological materialism does not describe man's fate without God, as in standard materialism.
Theological materialism is not man-alone without God but man
activated by the Spirit-Will to evolve to Godhood.
The materialism of science, Marxism,
liberal humanism, etc., does not allow Godhood or the Spirit-Will.
These materialisms usually therefore acquiesce to an elite of
scientists, technicians, politicians etc, with little or no religious
grounding.
Man-centered philosophy tends to lead
to dictatorial elites. Theological materialism is not man-centered, the
Spirit-Will within material/supermaterial life activates life to
evolve to Godhood, shaped by evolution from without. Intellectual
intuition and faith play as big a part in theological materialism as
they do in traditional religious spiritualism.
Theological materialism does not lead
to Big Brother Materialism any more than religious spiritualism leads
to Big Brother Spiritualism. Theological materialism does not call
for a dictatorial class of priests or scientists. Priests guide the
church in upward evolution to Godhood, aided by science and the
humanities, and with the voluntary affirmation of the people.
Godhood is the sacred goal in
theological materialism, this is not a horizontal
end. Evolution moves from lower consciousness to higher
consciousness, from materialism to supermaterialism. This can suggest light federalism, small independent states,
representative government, which best allows the variety of life to
evolve to Godhood, with Ordered Evolution, and with the Revitalized Conservatism of the Twofold Path, not revolution.
