How are the particular and the
universal the same? When they are contained within the living
object.
The universal is the activating,
material force within material life, the particular is gross matter.
They are never separate.
This sacred activation works within the
dynamics of natural evolution and selection, which means the sacred goal is
determined but the natural path provides choices.
The activating force, the Will-Spirit,
or Spirit-Will, is not trying to escape matter, as the Gnostics and
even some traditional religions believe, the material Will-Spirit
is seeking to activate life to evolve toward Godhood, which is also
material, or supermaterial.
The Will-Spirit-To-Godhood is the
keeper of the sacred goal, which calls all life to evolve all the way
to Godhood, over millions and millions of years.
The evolution to Godhood is a communal
activity, which can be affirmed in amphitheaters once again.
But this is not the particularism of an
exclusive Greek or Wagnerian nationalism, the more natural separations of
ethnopluralism call for the independence of ethnic cultures and
regions in accord with real human nature, which remains kin-centered
and group-selecting, as we all evolve toward Godhood.
New sacred Masses can include both the
traditional Inward Path, and the evolutionary Outward Path. The
symbolic God-within is reached through ascetic discipline, and real
Godhood-without is reached through material evolution.
The Will-Spirit is nurtured by
beauty.
The past, present and future are this
way joined together.
Creativity and originality are important
but secondary to the main goal of art and religion, which is the
affirmation of our evolution toward Godhood.
There is a nostalgia for the sacred,
which has been trampled. Sacred symbols have been transvalued into symbols designed to destroy the sacred. That is not art or
religion, that is destruction.
The mythological, theological,
scientific and artistic views of reality can be renewed and combined.
