The return to religious transcendence while including naturalistic modernity

Religious philosophers, Christian and otherwise, like to think that special human dignity cannot be found on the basis of modern materialism, and that only the return to the transcendent values of Christianity can reinvigorate Western civilization. This is an incomplete perspective.

When the Godhood goal of evolution is understood and affirmed, then can come the reinvigoration and re-sacredness of Western civilization (and Eastern), which has no doubt been lost or degraded by irreligious modernity.

That is, it is not the return (sometimes violently) of the religiously fundamental dislike or even hatred of materialism that will reinvigorate us, it is seeing and knowing that the material world evolves to supermaterial Godhood which will bring the divine and sacred back. This is the same Godhood seen only inwardly by the great religions, which is included and transformed. Our evolution to Godhood is founded in modern materialism and philosophical naturalism while vitally adding to its formerly irreligious nature our transcendence to Godhood, shaped by evolution.

We need to include but transform the inward Soul to the outward activating Spirit-Will, which activates life to evolve to Godhood, shaped later by evolution. This is the Twofold Path.

Nature calls us to this sacred mission to evolve to Godhood. To reinvigorate the West, and indeed to save the West, this religious philosophy needs to be more widely known and promoted, which is no small task.
