Religious Transformation in the Twofold Path


Ascetic freedom from material and bodily desires which the Hindus, Buddhists, Christians and others feature, is in reality limited to the Inward Path symbolic experience of the God or Father Within, but total religion requires the Outward Path of evolution, which can channel material desires toward evolving to real Godhood, and not destroying that sacred activation.

In general, the Great Spiritual Blockade of the Inward Path of traditional religion says, in reality, as Schopenhauer said, it is better not to be born than to be. Think of that! But even so, the Twofold Path does not reject the traditional Inward Path, which was our early, inward, ascetic glimpse of Godhood, it transforms it into the Outward Path of material/supermaterial evolution to real Godhood.

This is conservative evolution rather than radical revolution. One of the basics of conservatism is that you don't abolish your culture, you change it or reconstitute it on a new basis. This is the opposite of the Marxists who openly admit that they act contrary to all historical experience.

The material world, science, culture, can legitimately re-enter religion again with the Twofold Path. Present man and present religion are only the beginning of the man and woman of the future, as we all reach toward Godhood. This means also that politically we have to find a way to keep life and the world going, which leads to the ethnopluralism written about here.
