So-called “becoming” describes evolution, which is a biological and super-biological dynamic, with biology activated inwardly and this activation never separate from the material being it inhabits, shaped by outside evolution. There is no duality here, contrary to various philosophers. Becoming-In-Being replaces Being-In-Itself. This does not deny the world of being as Nietzsche did, it denies the Platonic/Traditionalist School world of only “ideas,” it places the emphasis on living, evolving, life rising in a zig-zag and up and down pattern, activated inwardly by the Spirit-Will toward Godhood, and shaped by outside evolution.
There is no phenomenal/noumenal distinction, there is only material and supermaterial evolution. Mystics did not discern the supermaterial so they created the fiction of the spiritual, which was mainly an abstract name only for the material/supermaterial experience of the God Within. Abstract ideas can only define concrete things, the concrete thing is the reality.
With naturalism, only natural forces and entities make up the world. A nominalistic naturalism, where abstract ideas and universals are only the secondary definitions of particular concrete things, then affirms Theological Materialism, that is, we evolve to Godhood with concrete material and supermaterial evolution.
