Comparing Plato's First Mover with the Spirit-Will


Plato's argument for God from motion, the spontaneous first mover in the "Laws,” is called the Soul by Plato, but is called the Spirit-Will-To-Godhood in the theological materialism of the ECC. But the Spirit-Will is never separate from the Primal Material, the Spirit-Will activates all living matter.

In theological materialism the Spirit-Will is not God as it seems to be in Plato, and as it is in the great religions, the Spirit-Will as the activator seeks Godhood by activating matter to evolve to Godhood, matter is then shaped by evolution.

Good and evil are values connected to our evolution to Godhood, and not to the Soul versus Matter, which is the error of Plato and the gnostic perspective and of many mystical traditions. The higher we evolve to Godhood the better we are and also the more in harmony we are with the goal of the activating Spirit-Will in the world.

And the Spirit-Will is material, or supermaterial, and very much in the world, not outside the world.
