Briefly looking at Whitehead's process
philosophy, or theology, for the first time, it seems to me that his
intriguing idea of “eternal objects” (EOs) was developed so that
Whitehead could hold on to the idea of a non-material spiritual God.
With my concept of Living Objects, Godhood is evolved to in the
material and supermaterial world, and Godhood is reached through the
“process” of the material evolution of objects. One need not
cling to a nebulous definition of a non-material God.
Contrary to Whitehead (and Plato) I
think reality can be reduced to the actual, thought is not wider than
the real, the virtual is not more real than the possible. Whitehead
seems to undervalue the potential of real life, as most theologians paradoxically do. The living objects of life, life itself, especially
human life, is capable of the highest creativity, life itself
contains the actual material potential of evolving all the way
to a supermaterial Godhood.
We will find empirical proof of Godhood
as we evolve toward Godhood. It is the material Will-Spirit,
or Spirit-Will-To-Godhood within material life that essentially
describes life itself, which activates life to evolve to the zenith
of success in evolution, defined as Godhood. Ideals are always
secondary to the objects they represent. All objects evolve (or
don't evolve)) endlessly, including Godhood. But here too the
definition “evolution” is not sacred, evolution is secondary to
the real objects evolved.
It is very difficulty for intellectuals to keep their feet on real ground, they live too much in artificial academic towers. I think this philosophy, which I have called theological materialism, saves both dying religion and
Godless science.
