Choosing contemplation or action, past or future?

People think in terms of two kinds of "defense" against what Eliade called the largely deterministic “terror of history”: action or contemplation. The revealed religions chose contemplation, at least the mystical elite did, by going inward with the Involutionary Inward Path to experience the Father Within, the God-Within. This can block the terror of history, but does it really make it go away?

It is the the Outward Path, the Evolutionary Outward Path, which takes real action against the terror of history, by helping to advance life toward Godhood in evolution. But we may also affirm the Inward Path of contemplation as the mirror, or virtual experience, of the Outward Path leading to Godhood. This is the Twofold Path of the Evolutionary Christian Church.

The past, the primitive, the nonmaterial is idealized by the traditionalist school, but we can also idealize and affirm the future with our feet on materialistic ground, because  the furthest we go is to supermaterialism, which helps define Godhood. We can contemplate the past but we don't seek to go there, we take action toward the future.

This is a truly modern religious view which says that there is not really a timeless world of shamanistic, sacred, heaven-time.  All is in time, including Godhood, which we evolve to in time. A Jungian might ask, is not Godhood a sacred, timeless, archetype, appearing at different places in time? If Godhood is an archetype it seems to be a super-instinct within the DNA of life itself, the inward, supermaterial, Spirit-Will seeking Godhood by activating life, which is outwardly shaped by the ups and downs of natural evolution.
