Reversing metaphysics

The fact that Plato thought Homer was the worst possible example of values is a negative aspect of Platonism, and Neoplatonism---and this can be seen in traditional religions as well. Plato's pie-in-the-sky metaphysics, his non-material forms, can actually be more damaging to humanity than Homer's heroes. Although Nietzsche made his attempt to criticize the spirituality of Plato, and religion, his solution of radical aristocratic individualism was perhaps as damaging as Plato, his supposed opposite.

The way to become whole again in our values is to bring the new into the old, to bring about change within order, not by a metaphysical revolution, but with the Twofold Path, in understanding that the Inward Path to the God or Father Within of the traditional Revealed Religions, and of Plato, is only a symbolic-experience of the real Godhood which can be reached in natural, upward, material and supermaterial evolution, by way of Ordered Evolution.

We can be saved from life-denying metaphysics meant only for the Inward Path and not the Outward Path of sacred material evolution. This is defined in the new religious philosophy of theological materialism, which can help unblock the Great Spiritual Blockade we have been trying to come out from under for centuries with sophisticated religious metaphysics, such as Thomism, or various social and political philosophies, such as Marxism.
