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.
