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.
