The Absolute and the Evolving Object

The Evolving Object is defined by the instinctive drive toward the true, the good and the beautiful. For example, when we seek out the most beautiful over the less beautiful we are driven by the usually unconscious sacred ideal of Absolute Beauty, or Godhood.

Carl Jung wrote of how spirits-alcohol could be a plea for spirit-God. I define the Evolving Object not as a sublimation or misdirection but as a gradual, incremental evolution toward the Absolute Object, or Godhood.

The religious philosophy of the Theoevolutionary Church seeks to focus material desires toward the sacred goal of evolving to Godhood by way of incremental Ordered Evolution, not to rid life of material desires, as does the Inward Path to the God Within.

This means mankind is gradually evolving toward Absolute Truth, Goodness and Beauty. The Outward Path always seeks the most truth, the most goodness, the most beauty which points the way in evolution naturally toward Absolute Godhood.

This means that in the Outward Path material desires certainly are not evil, on the contrary, they are essential drives directed toward the Sacred Supermaterial Object. Sociobiological conditions can misdirect these material desires in the course of evolution, but the desires are the vehicle that evolution requires to reach supermaterialism and Godhood.

We need to stop the great materiaphobia, the Great Spiritual Blockade against material-supermaterial evolution to Godhood.

A total art philosophy can be defined this way too, as an affirmation of the sacred drive for the true, the good and the beautiful. Psychology can affirm this dynamic in human behavior.
