“True art is the moment of emergence
of the classic from the folk.” ( “The Folk and the Classic” by Frederick Turner )
To adapt Turner's images, religions or philosophies which attempt
to liberate modern man from tradition lose the roots of human
culture. But when religion denies new ideas it is like having the root
only without the flowering. Even so, new ideas without the roots of
tradition is like cutting the flower off from its roots.
Modern life
has increasingly lost touch with religion (and traditional art) and
the question is how to get it back? The Twofold Path in the religious
philosophy of the the Theoevolutionary Church brings the spiritual
to the material, religion to science, it is the emergence of classic religion out of folk religion, a flowering from the roots.
We are evolving in the Outward Path of
material life to the Godhood first seen and mirrored as the Father
within in the Inward Path of traditional religion. Art, philosophy and culture follow after from the same root.
