The central lesson of Christianity is not “unconditional love” as we are often told, the central message is the call to reach the Father Within, through the ascetic discipline of stopping or blocking all material desires. As in Buddhism, non-attachment to all things in the world is necessary to attain the state of the God Within. Affirming the poor was a value derived from this nonmaterial prospective, because for Jesus material things were not the path to the Father Within---compassion also came from this perspective. This is the way of the Involutionary Inward Path to the symbolic-bliss-experience of the Father Within, but we require the Evolutionary Outward Path to reach real Godhood.
The Evolutionary Outward Path unblocks the Great Spiritual Blockade against our material and supermaterial evolution to the Godhood first seen in the Inward Path. This is not a rejection of the Inward Path, this is the application of the Twofold Path, one working with the other. Hunter- Gatherers saw nature as more harmonious than Farmers who had to contend more with nature, and their religion's reflected the differences. In human history the manifestations of religion have changed, but the Spirit-Will-To-Godhood does not change. We now can see our evolution to real Godhood, activated by the Spirit-Will-To-Godhood. This dynamic was unconscious for a long time, but it is now conscious and we can aid in our evolution to Godhood.
