Unity In the Sacred Goal
Religion can
be defined as the Will-To-Godhood, or Tirips, become conscious, philosophical,
artistic, political, scientific.
Traditional religion tends to be
anti-naturalistic, but the projected Theoevolutionary Church (TC), with its
theological materialism, is naturalistic. Walter Kaufmann pointed out
in his insightful book on religion and philosophy that traditional
religion says you will be holy because your God is holy, or it says
you will not be holy so therefore you must worship what is
holy. The TC and theological materialism says you will be holy and
attain Godhood because Tirips activates all life to evolve
to Godhood, working along with natural selection and evolution.
This evolution is not a disenchantment with the
material world or a seeking to escape beyond it, the
material world is the means by which we evolve to Godhood. There is
hope in this world. Godhood is not something other than the
world, Godhood is the zenith of evolution in the world.
The ancient Inward Path of the great religions saw God inwardly by the method of blocking out this world, by blocking out all the desires of the flesh so as to see the Father-Within. The Twofold Path of the TC includes the Inward Path but only as the first ancient glimpse of what Godhood will be like when attained in the Evolutionary Outward Path.
I would like to see all the fields come
together in religion, that is, philosophy, art, politics, and certainly
including science. In ancient times, before Homer, religion
did this and it offered man lasting satisfaction, a work of art was a
work of religion, the best kind of art.
Unity of the Will-To-Godhood, or Tirips, not
necessarily intellectual agreement, can unite the world of separate
people and separate states. Each people, each state, has its own
way, its own anthropology, yet mankind can be united in evolving on
earth and in the cosmos toward Godhood. Tirips
is shaped differently in different environments by evolution. Humans are capable of cooperating through knowledge shared in this great mission.
