The super-materialization of the sacred


The Outward Path evolution of material and supermaterial life to Godhood in the cosmos is made more real, more concrete, as a theology of love, than the traditional religious Inward Path transformations, seen as human to divine, eros to agape, kama to prema, which are also affirmed in the Twofold Path of the the Theoevolutionary Church (TC). Theological materialism is not so much a “secularization of the sacred” (Joseph Campbell's term) as it is a super-materialization of the sacred.

With evolution, love for the particular in real survival and reproduction, for example, love for a beautiful woman, literally becomes love for the supermaterial divine, both are living objects, not abstractions, not inner Godhood, not merely symbols, but the real thing which we can evolve to.

This is bringing new mythology, new-old religion to a myth-starved, God-starved modern world.
