Why do the religious mystics and
philosophers require a world other than the real world? Is it
because there is suffering in the world? There is also satisfaction
in the world, should all people judge the world as suffering because
some suffer? Why this preoccupation with pain?
Healthy people don't make pleasure and
pain the ultimate question, these are secondary conditions in the
evolution of life. We can even be skeptical of the connection between
truth and happiness, which continues to confound philosophers.
Plato didn't start this transvaluing of
reality, this making concepts causes, this making the conditioned out
of the unconditioned, this was going on in the East, and probably
before Plato. Buddha said life equals pain! But the dangerous thing
about this resentment of reality is that morality is created out of
it, as Nietzsche brilliantly pointed out.
It is well overdue time for this
“vaporization of God,” (Goethe) to end. The material world is not
only good it is the vehicle by which we evolve to real supermaterial Godhood, the
Godhood only hinted at, or feared, or hidden inwardly as a desireless state.
