Why we no longer need Gnosticism

We no longer need Gnosticism, that is, the world seen as evil and the prison of the soul. The new "Alchemy," the new "Hermeticism" changes the elements and converts man and society toward Godhood by way of material and supermaterial evolution. This is defined as theological materialism, based in naturalism. If there is a “metaphysics" of naturalism this is it.

Theological materialism advances the transcendence of human beings toward Godhood by way of material/supermaterial evolution. The traditional Inward Path to the God Within, which is symbolic, is retained but transformed into the Outward Path of evolution toward Godhood.

The evolution toward Godhood is a permanent activation of life composed of changing parts. The higher determinism of Tirips which is material or supermaterial inwardly activates life and determines the sacred goal, the outward path of evolution and selection can take various paths toward the goal, or even away from the goal.

In this religious philosophy theological materialism is the significant factor, and the social or political expression or affirmation of theological materialism needs to harmonize with sociobiologically defined human nature and the centrality of group-selection, which needs to be seen in our social and political structures. This advances some form of natural ethnopluralism, with regions and states set aside for ethnic cultures, and their evolution, and protected in their near-independence by some form of federalism. That sort of variety is good for general evolution, survival, and for genetic and cultral  development.
