The sacred sufficient reason and purpose of life
Everything represents perceptive things
in time and space and can be empirically understood, but for some
things to be understood, sense experience and intelligence need to
further evolve. Causal explanation can explain the world but there
appears to be no beginning and end to the world and so further
knowledge of this will also have to await further material evolution.
Material things can exist without the human mind perceiving them,
which is just common sense, but this is also related to the level of
evolution of the perceiving mind.
Prior to the operation of the the
intellect is the operation of the senses, but prior to the senses is
the general activation of life itself which takes place within
material life and is never separate from life. This is the first
cause of life, which I call the Will-Spirit or Spirit Will---I
include the word "spirit" simply to show the connection to
traditional religion, which is included but transformed---the
spiritual is really supermaterial.
Concepts and definitions are secondary
to the the objects defined, the living object comes before its
definition. Truth is a reference to material or supermaterial objects
and does not stand alone without materiality. Truth is grounded in
objects outside of itself. The sacred sufficient reason and
purpose of material life is to evolve toward supermaterial Godhood.
Again, this knowledge, this ontology and epistemology of theological materialism---which has been argued about for 2000 years usually in
obscure ways---does not destroy traditional religion or philosophy,
it includes and transforms them.
