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.
