“From fullness comes greater fullness” (Gus DiZerega)
When it is said that there are no boundaries to the spiritual but there are boundaries to nature, material and supermaterial evolution are usually not considered. Religion has all but blocked matter from evolving by trying to block the desires of the world and the flesh, rather than refining them in evolution.
The old spiritual is transformed into the supermaterial. This can help end the great antagonistic duality between matter and spirit, science and religion. Desire implies a lack and God does not lack, say the classical philosophers, but it is evolution to Godhood which material desire ultimately seeks.
Perfect completeness with no further evolution is an abstraction, an idea, or God as only an idea. Godhood exists when we evolve to Godhood. Godhood is conditionally rooted in the conditions of the material and supermaterial world.
Humans are a stage along the evolving path to Godhood---love, life, suffering, victory occur within this evolutionary stage. When we fail or succeed it is our own fault or our own strength, not Godhood, and it is not the fault of the Spirit-Will which inwardly activates life to Godhood, shaped outwardly by an evolution that is not always upward, often do to our own ignorance.
