A realism and a neo-romanticism that both religion and science can believe in
Quantum physics is not spiritual, even
if we cannot perfectly understand it, and the same thing can be
applied to Godhood, which is evolved to in the material world.
Energy isn't spiritual either, it is based in the material, as all
things are.
The origin of life isn't spiritual, it
begins at the lowest stages of life and then evolves in the material
world to the highest stages of evolved life, which is Godhood.
It is evolving life that is probably
eternal, with many starts and stops along the way, and then if life
is supremely successful life can, and has, evolved to Godhood.
Why did the spiritual invade the
material? I suppose for wish-fulfillment. James Tate called this
invasion a definition of romanticism.
The great gurus found that if material
desires were blocked with much discipline it would also block all
pain, and they equated that blissful state with Godhood, which was a
great limitation of real Godhood.
Since about the Enlightenment science
hasn't believed there is a spiritual or a Godhood. But that was
mainly because they thought of God as spiritual, since all the gurus
defined God that way.
Science can be brought in from the cold
when Godhood is seen as material or supermaterial and is understood
as that which we can evolve to in the material world.
That is a realism and a neo-romanticism
which both religion and science can believe in.
