Truth is primarily in things


Truth is primarily in things, not in the intellect. This is opposite the definition of St. Thomas. Truth in the mind is a mirror or likeness of the thing known. Truth in the mind is a lesser thing than the thing itself, opposite Plato. And the “thing-in-itself” is not a non-material being. Truth in the mind is based on the most accurate judgment of the reality of the thing seen.

Theology and philosophy go off track when they greatly devalue the actual thing, the actual object, which then causes the belief in nothingness, the belief in mirror images in the mind and not belief in the object that is mirrored. This hypertrophies into defining God as a mirror image of material things and not a real supreme object or objects.

Godhood is not merely a non-material thing in the mind or in the Soul, Godhood is an actual supreme object or objects evolved to in the cosmos. The God of the Involutionary Inward Path is a mirror image of the Supreme Object Godhood evolved to over time in the Evolutionary Outward Path. Both are retained in the Twofold Path of the Evolutionary Church.
