Absolutizing of rational categories (as Hegel did) and absolutizing of objects leads to the same thing: not non-material higher definitions, but supermaterial objects, with the Supreme Object or Being as the Supreme Absolute Object in all categories.

The Shadows of Objects
We never, in reality, move beyond the
object. Religion and philosophy think that they can move beyond the
material or supermaterial object, but they are creating false,
non-object absolutes. They create Gods of non-objects and
definitions, which are not Gods.
Absolutizing of rational categories (as Hegel did) and absolutizing of objects leads to the same thing: not non-material higher definitions, but supermaterial objects, with the Supreme Object or Being as the Supreme Absolute Object in all categories.

Rational and religious categories can
define objects but the definitions will always be the shadows of
objects. This means that Plato needs to be trans-valued: it is the
mystical definitions that are the shadows, and it is the objects that
are reality.
The consummation of intelligence is not
the beatific vision All by itself outside a material body, it lives in the mind of the object
having the vision. Godhood is the Absolute Mind in the Absolute Body
and not merely a Mind. Godhood is not beyond form and structure,
Godhood is Absolute Supermaterial Form and Structure. There is no
need to put up a Great Spiritual Blockade against the material world
if Godhood is seen as the Supermateriality that we evolve to from the
material world.
Thought and being belong together, as
St. Thomas seems to be saying, but the Being of St. Thomas is
nevertheless the same non-material, non-object being as before, and
the God of St. Thomas is not a Supreme Supermaterial Object. We are
not able to fully conceptualize Godhood at this stage in our evolving
intelligence but this does not mean that Godhood is therefore
non-conceptualizable. It takes a God to accurately conceptualize a
God, and when this is done it is a Mind conceptualizing within a Body, not a non-material body-less mind.
