Abstraction and universality are definitions and denotations of real things, or often times unreal things, and they should not be worshiped or idealized, as they often are.

Opening the abstract door closed to Godhood
Abstraction and universality are definitions and denotations of real things, or often times unreal things, and they should not be worshiped or idealized, as they often are.
This describes the belief in
supermaterial Godhood, where abstractions and universalisms are
finally grounded in real life. Although the supermaterial properties
of Godhood remain unknown, this is not a definition of God beyond
nature and materiality. Go ahead and use spiritual abstractions when
you must, but call then that, see them as that, refrain from calling
them God.
Religion can open its virtually closed
door to the material world, science and evolution, with Godhood
realistically remaining as supreme materiality which we evolve to by
way of refining material evolution, not blocking it or killing it.
The Twofold Path includes the largely abstract God-Within of tradition but transforms it into real Godhood in the outward path of evolution. Opening the abstract door closed to Godhood can also help save dying religion.
