Addressing the Moral Rot

It is politically incorrect to say it but it was largely the loss of religion in the West, ie. Christianity, which brought the moral rot we see all over today. But not only modern liberalism rejected religion, the less political sciences also looked disdainfully at religion, even those which tend to support traditionalism, such as sociobiology, anthropology, and genetics. Look at today's hits in music, film, television, books, but also in high art, and in much academic work, the moral rot is widespread, and we all know it---is there any need to count the ways?

However, what we don't ever hear from religious people is that much of this has to do with the deep discounting of materialism and material life by religion, especially by the more serious sages and thinkers in religion, who center on the Inward Path to the God-Within or Father Within, which can only be reached by thoroughly unattaching oneself from material life and the desires of life. This has gradually led to the denaturalization of morals and values and allowed material culture to go largely unattended and open to the rejection of religious morals and values.

This is why the Twofold Path, the Involutionary and Evolutionary Paths to Godhood, are redeeming of the times. The Evolutionary Outward Path of material and supermaterial evolution to Godhood unblocks the Great Spiritual Blockade against material life, which means necessarily addressing the moral rot, since a keen interest in material life, evolution, and culture is required if we are to evolve to Godhood, the Godhood which was first only symbolically-experienced in the Inward Path of religions.  It remains true that no culture ever rises or lasts long without religion.

Religion is not going out of fashion, but what religion offers to people will change. I think evolution, material and supermaterial evolution to Godhood will be the next offering of religious philosophy in the centuries ahead.

History does repeat itself but in a slightly different way---which really means history doesn’t repeat itself, it resembles itself. Religion in the future will resemble past religions. I think the Twofold Path: Evolutionary and Involuntary, is such a change, bringing the past Involuntary Path forward into the future Evolutionary Path.
