How the Evolutionary Outward Path is primary and the Involutionary Inward Path is secondary

In the deep duality of the Hindu principle of correspondence (and perhaps also in the tree of life of the Kabala), every phenomenon, every thing, seems to be associated with an “immaterial” power, but not merely associated or corresponding with an immaterial power, every thing is actually the very immaterial power. These formless roots can be perceived eventually when material desires are blocked or unattached to by the sage, hence the sage can then perceive sacred “emptiness.” The emptiness is sought first as a principle, as Evola says, or an image of a principle, that is a yantra or mandala, which is supposed to relate to the forms assumed by the powers in the subtle plain. In Tantra what is sought is the realization that everything is the Spirit, or Shakti, “truly all of this is Shakti.” “Duality” is this way overcome.

What is sought in Hinduism, and in the more serious paths of all the revealed religions (many of which seem to have derived in one way or another from Hinduism), is not the real, living, material or supermaterial object of Godhood, which needs to be evolved to, but symbols and principles that in fact do not exist in the material or supermaterial world---however they can lead to the blissful condition of emptiness, nirvana, heaven, the Father Within, if the various ascetic disciplines for achieving nonattachment to material desires is attained. This is the Involutionary Inward Path, and the sole concern of the more serious paths of the revealed religions. The God Within is reached by a Great Spiritual Blockade or nonattachment to material and even supermaterial desires.

But there is another path, the Evolutionary Outward Path, where the primary goal is evolving to real Godhood in the material and supermaterial world. This is not symbolic, this is not a principle, and not the blissful human experience of complete emptiness of objecthood, this is not the spiritual blockade of material desires, this is real Godhood reached in real life by way of evolution toward the zenith of material desires, which is Godhood, or the zenith of success in survival and reproduction. The Spirit-Will within material life activates life to evolve to Godhood, and then life is shaped by outside evolution. This is the only way for the Spirit-Will to attain Godhood, that is, riding within the vehicle of material and supermaterial evolution---the Spirit-Will is never outside of material or supermaterial life---duality does not enter the worldview.

In the Twofold Path both paths can be applied, tradition is not abandoned, but the Evolutionary Outward Path is primary and the Involution Inward Path is secondary, with the Father Within seen as a symbolic-experience of the real outward Godhood reached by evolution. This defines the real "transvaluation of values" needed.
