The generating principles of theological materialism

The two principles: the activating Spirit-Will-To-Godhood within material life, and the shaping of outside evolution and selection. Both are within the realm of naturalism, a naturalism that evolves life to Godhood, if successful in evolution.

The material superseded equals the supermaterial, not the spiritual. Existence is not manifest in thought alone but in the physical existence within which thought takes place. Religion and philosophy have been hidden under so-called non-material but still sensual disguises.

St. Thomas defines God as “He who is.” Theological materialism defines Godhood as “What we evolve to become.” The traditional Inward God is transformed by the Outward Godhood reached through evolution.

In theological materialism religion can find its naturalistic confirmation---and a place can be found once again for the sacred in society.
