Bringing real life back to religion
The libido (basic biological drives) is
brought back to religion when the one-dimensional, exclusively
spiritual God is seen as the product of material-supermaterial
evolution. This is a recovery of human nature harkening back to
archaic times when God was seen as a real object. This brings real
art back, real life back, in contrast to the pale aestheticism of
modern art and the lifeless asceticism of modern religion.
Real biological drives are more
powerful than thoughts, definitions and mathematical equations. It
is not progress to move away from biology and separate ourselves from
our instinctual natures. Our instincts are divine when the zenith of
the instincts is understood as the Spirit-Will-To-Godhood which
activates material life to evolve to Godhood, later shaped by
evolution.
It can seem almost grotesque to define
God by way of killing all the material drives and desires and
rejecting all material definitions of God. This is like making a tabula
rosa of the mind and the body as a mystical trick, when the inward God should be
seen as only a symbolic or virtual way to see real Godhood which we
evolve to in the cosmos. In the Twofold Path we can retain the
inward view of God but it needs to be seen as only a glimpse of real
Godhood reached in the Outward Path of evolution.
