Healing religious blockades and illusions


The Great Spiritual Blockade is related to the Great Illusion of becoming the Spirit (usually meaning the Soul) when one finds the God or Father Within. No doubt it is a blissful and greatly expansive experience but one does not become the Spirit beyond the senses or beyond the mind, one experiences the Father Within within the senses, although they are the supersenses, which are in the world not outside the world.

The soul is not released from the mind, the soul is experienced at the zenith of the mind. Then, at least metaphorically, at the zenith of the soul one finds the Spirit-Will, which activates material life to evolve to real supermaterial Godhood, shaped by outside evolution. And Godhood itself is in the world although at the zenith of evolution in the cosmos, and not beyond the material world. Religion needs to move out of these blockades and illusions to save itself and to save future life.

Why are we not content? Why are our desires never permanently fulfilled? The solution is not to therefore block or end desires, or to destroy the ego and the id, as is called for in reality in the Inward Path. The solution is to attain the goal of unfulfilled desires by refining not destroying the desires, so that we may evolve in the Outward Path to real Godhood, and therefore fulfill our divine---not evil---desires. Was the human body given to us for the purpose of blocking the human body? Following the Inward Path alone and exclusively would be a perversion of life.  The Inward Path is there to show us what real Godhood may be like when we evolve to Godhood.  The Inward Path to the Father Within is a symbolic experience of the Godhood we evolve to in the cosmos, and not an end in itself... This affirms the Twofold Path in a world which is understandably rejecting the Inward Path of traditional religions.

But revitalized religion comes primarily to redeem us, not to judge us, in trying to create the longing not to return to the Father but to evolve to Godhood.
