Saving Art With Transvalued Religion

Plato and the religious sages before him started this revolt against the object, which over time led to non-sacred modern art objects in themselves, with no reference to ideals or faith or even representation, as a revolt against Plato's objectless world. What a revolt!

This began with the idea that sense experience cannot be real because the real is nonperishable and unchanging, which was the audacious claim that set mankind on a path away from real objects and real sense experience, which was a Great Spiritual Blockade against the world.

Science more or less trans-valued this blockade against the material world, and Nietzsche utterly rejected it. But the way to keep ideals in religion and in art, and to revive real representation, is to understand that Godhood is the sacred goal of material and supermaterial evolution. Evolutionary Realism can then be confirmed, not unrecognizable objects as an extreme revolt against the Platonic world free of real material objects. The path of sacred art, evolution and religion is Godhood.

We can and do keep the Platonic world of the great religions in the Involutionary Inward Path to the God Within, but this object-less world is transvalued from Plato and the founding religious sages and seen as the useful mirror of real Godhood reached in the Evolutionary Outward Path.
