The philosopher is concerned with
truth, the religious mystic is concerned with experiencing
enlightenment, the evolutionary religion I affirm is first concerned
with the actual object of material evolution and secondarily
concerned with truth and enlightenment. This is the object-first
evolutionary reality I work with.
The object is defined only later as
truth, object-less truth is secondary. Godhood is a supermaterial
living object, or objects, not merely a symbol, definition or proposition, and
not merely an experience. This theological materialism brings
philosophy and religion down to earth, yet it moves beyond the terrain
of the earth out into the cosmos as we evolve.
The ironic thing is this perspective
is arrived at by fiercely seeking the "truth" from all sources,
including intellectual intuition, and truth from the heart. This
means the way of life and the way of evolution become as important as
truth seeking. To change a Walter Kaufmann phrase, this is an assent
of objects over propositions.
