Theological and scientific misunderstandings

From the beginning God was seen inwardly by the founders of the great religions and only nominally outwardly, whereas it should have been the other way around. This led theology to the Great Spiritual Blockade against the material world, but most destructively, it blockaded material life from evolving to Godhood. Life was too strong to be blockaded by all but a few mystics, yet the blockade remained within the ethos of traditional cultures.

Science simply rejected both the inward and outward God as its way to cope with the misunderstandings, which became a misunderstanding at the base of Western science. The inward and outward God do exist and they do not conflict with material life, although the mirror-God-within can only be seen or experienced by blocking all the material desires. Jesus Christ was the Messiah of the God Within, as were a very few mystics of the great religions.

Religious values have been centered on salvation first and not on worldly values no-matter how theologians might reluctantly allow real life to live. It is simply going against the basic teachings of the religious founders to define a worldly kingdom in place of a spiritual kingdom, or to apply such theological tricks as doing good works as long as one is not attached to good works or attached to the world.

The Twofold Path seeks to resolve these misunderstandings. The Inward God or Father Within is implicit, clarified and fulfilled in evolving to Outward Godhood. Re-experiencing the Father Within is only preliminary to evolving to Godhood. Science can be the Logos of God when applied to our evolution to Godhood. The results will be neither pure science nor pure religion but something greater than both.
