When the Great Spiritual Blockade is lifted and transformed in the Twofold Path

The Inward Path to the unworldly God or Father Within increases in value as it proceeds in proportion to the devaluation of the material Outward Path to real Godhood, and vice versa. This is the dynamics of the Twofold Path in theological materialism. Neither path is rejected, the Inward Path is retained but transformed in the Outward Path of material/supermaterial evolution to real Godhood.

The hedonism of the world indicates that the ascetics of the Inward Path were not successful in promoting the Inward God to the world, or in curbing the material desires of the world, which is necessary for the symbolic experiencing of the Inward God. Monastic life is not popular with the masses.

But when the Great Spiritual Blockade of the Inward Path is lifted and transformed to reveal the Outward Path of material/supermaterial evolution to real Godhood, then the value of the Outward Path increases as it proceeds in proportion to the transformation of the Inward Path to the Outward God.

A society without a transcendent meaning loses itself, as many conservatives have said. The core material ontology of the Outward Path, which has been corrupted by greed and hedonism, and denatured and blocked rather than religiously reformed, is the transforming sacred path of evolution toward real Godhood.
