Reverse Ontology


I'm not putting down the thinking process, I do a lot of it, but what I like about feeling in comparison to thinking is that it places us more in the realm of the real object before the object and subject are falsely separated. In thinking, the subject seeks to comprehend the object but then the subject tends to think it is king and the object recedes in importance.

The subjective and objective get confused. There is only the object which is the subject, and what is called objective is only the definition of the object by the object. This does not mean that all is subjective, as modern philosophy since Nietzsche has thought, this means that objects exist which may or may not relate to other objects.

Much of theology and philosophy placed the idea, the definition of the object, far above the object itself---as feeling is placed below thinking. But Godhood is seen here as an Object, although the highest evolved object, or objects, and Godhood is not merely the definition of God. Godhood is at the successful zenith of material/supermaterial evolution---non-material spiritual definitions and symbols alone are not Godhood or Being. We can apply symbols to help us understand, but symbols and definitions should not be taken as God, as they often are.

This ultimately relates to placing the spiritual (the idea-definition-ascetic symbolic experience) above the material, or even describing the material as really spiritual, which caused the Great Spiritual Blockade of material/supermaterial evolution to real Godhood. This needs to be reversed.  The Twofold Path retains the old understanding of the "non-material" Inward God, which is really a material or supermaterial state/condition brought about when ascetics rid themselves of material desires---as Jesus (and other great sages) advocated---but the Inward God, which perhaps helped us better understand real Godhood, is then transformed in the Outward Path of material evolution to real Godhood.
