Bringing back poetry and myth to religion
Unlike the older pagans, the revealed religions have
said that God cannot be objectified or embodied, God is no It but
only Thou. This, which both the Hindu's and Moses revealed, ended up
rejecting the objectifying myths of the earlier age.
It seems true that when the poetry is
taken out of religion it damages or even kills religion. I have more
or less added poetry to both Christianity and to Raymond Cattell's noble religion from
science, which he called Beyondism, not for the sake of saving
religion, but because I have seen the unconscious intention of the
Spirit-Will-To-Godhood activating material life to Godhood, later
shaped by natural evolution, and science has not affirmed this yet,
nor do the revealed religions.
Although it defies standard
interpretations, this brings back poetry and myth to religion, as we
can embark upon the heroic mission of evolving from man to superman to
supermaterial Godhood in the cosmos.
This religious philosophy also retains the first glimpse of
Godhood seen inwardly by the Hindus and by Moses, in the Twofold Path, which allows a Revitalized Conservatism and an Ordered Evolution.
