Both faith and reason can distort reality
In traditional religions, faith and
reason can distort or manipulate reality so as to affirm their
particular worldviews. But both
faith and reason are subordinate to the essential life-activation of
the Spirit-Will-To-Godhood. Faith and reason can affirm or deny
life's sacred activation with their particular procedures, but they
are not superior to it. However, since the Spirit-Will is seen here
as a material and supermaterial living substance or living object
activating material life to evolve toward Godhood, it seems that
reason and science can one day discover and affirm it.
The
human mind can govern the passions but the Spirit-Will-To-Godhood
actives both the human mind and the passions with a sacred goal, if we can see it.
“Freedom from the passions”? It is more the direction
of the passions, the freeing of the passions, toward evolving to Godhood, which is the sacred goal
of life and religion, as described by theological materialism.
Traditional religion sought to rid the body of all material desires
so as to experience the God or Father Within, which can certainly be
retained in the Inward Path, but that is a preliminary glimpse
of the Outward Path of material/supermaterial evolution to real
Godhood.
