The material basis of sacred life and religion

Basically, men create or develop politics, laws, morality, religion, philosophy in their attempts at successful survival and reproduction, in relation to their genetic qualities and the conditions of nature and the environments they live in. But deeper even than this is the activation and purpose behind successful survival and reproduction, which is to evolve in the material/supermaterial world toward Godhood. The activation within life of the material Spirit-Will toward Godhood is not “encumbered” with matter (contrary to the Gnostic religions), matter is the means by which life evolves to Godhood. Consciousness is created and determined by this process, consciousness grew out of this existence, existence didn't grow out of consciousness.

This evolutionary process is at the origin of the religious philosophy of theological materialism, a natural religious philosophy. In this sense the truth, the real, is mainly anthropocentric, but since man is evolving toward new species on the path to Godhood, anthropocentrism is not quite the criterion for truth. Religious and psychological error may be more like physiological confusion about what life is. Beneath most observations and competitive ideas there is a struggle for successful survival which often is covered or unrecognized. Life and truth are not ugly, we only define it wrongly because we don't find the truth useful in our wills to power. Life is not purposeless, we just don't see the purpose. Although the evolutionary sciences are gaining ground, so far science does not affirm this sacred purpose, science tends to prefer non-active and static truths it can directly measure.
