Counter-Abstraction in religion and philosophy


“Ultimate happiness” is not in the contemplation of God, as Aristotle and the Catholic philosophers tell us---important as that is in the Inward Path---it comes in attaining physical and supermaterial Godhood in ongoing material evolution in the Outward Path. This view takes religion and philosophy out of the dead world of abstraction, while retaining the experience of the God Within, and into the real world of the objects of life. It is not the definition of God, truth, beauty or virtue that comes first, it is actually becoming and being or embodying these things as physical living objects. This counter-abstraction counters the Great Spiritual Blockade, and affirms theological materialism.
