Raymond Cattell rightly warned against
combining science and poetry, using the example of the hatred of Karl
Marx for the middle class which strongly influenced his house of
cards economics.
But the emotional satisfaction of
identifying the Father Within, or God Within of traditional religion
with the Godhood attained at the zenith of material evolution is such
a combination of science and poetry. If such a dynamic were not
real, and it is real, it would be brilliant and practical to invent
it.
Such emotional bonding as the Twofold Path can enhance and encourage our successful survival and evolution
out into the cosmos, while avoiding the radical revolutionary break
from traditional religion.
But the fact is, we do claim idealism
and faith at this time as necessary to see and know the zenith of
evolution as Godhood, and to see the Spirit-Will or Tirips as activating life,
which is then shaped by evolution.
This does not need to contradict
science, or future science, which is why it is such a powerful poetic synthesis.
