The Anthropomorphic Guru Blockade

Ken Wilber's "transrational" or “universal consciousness” is not on the opposite end of the spectrum from the pre-rational, as Wilber and other gurus claim. What Wilber calls the Pre/Post Rational Fallacy is basically not a fallacy, it is a rationalization regarding the unwanted similarity between the pre-rational subconscious and so-called transrational universal consciousness.  The trans-rational state of supposed universal consciousness is arrived at by consciously, at first, rejecting or blocking out all material desires, including rationality and normal consciousness.

This brings one to a state not unlike the unconscious state of subconscious life, the difference is that one is aware of it, or conscious of it in a rare state of consciousness. But the state of "universal consciousness," blissful as it is, is only a mirror, or a virtual experience of what real Godhood will be like when Godhood is reached by way of material and supermaterial evolution. Godhood is far beyond the anthropomorphic experience of transrational bliss.

There is much snobbery and elitism in this guru blockade of material things, although it is disguised with nice words like “include rather than reject.” It is said that only 1 percent of the population reaches this transpersonal state, while the rest of humanity is mired in the lower level of ethnocentric materialism. This is a gross misconception of the Path to Godhood, which requires the vehicle of material-supermaterial evolution to reach Godhood. 

That being said, we can, and do, retain the Involutionary Inward Path to the blissful God-Within in the Twofold Path of the Theoevolutionary Church---which was mankind's first glimpse of God. However, this long-lasting Great Spiritual Blockade by the gurus needs to be unblocked to include the sacred Evolutionary Outward Path of evolution to true Godhood in the cosmos. If  Paul Tillich was correct in defining “spiritual intelligence” as referring to that which indicates a persons “ultimate concern,” then it is time for our ultimate concern to be the evolution of material-supermaterial life to real Godhood, not merely attaining the blissful but anthropomorphic state of God-Within, which only mirrors some aspects of real supermaterial Godhood.
