We can keep religion but end the Great Spiritual Blockade
How can it be possible that the highest
religious traditions are suicidal?! This is the goal of the deepest
ascetic discipline, an end to all willing, an end to all material
desire in the pursuit of the plateau of the sublime, where the
attachment to life falls away! The originating Vedas, Buddha,
Christ, the philosopher Schopenhauer and many others advocated just
that as the goal of at least serious religious life.
That Great Spiritual Blockade is not
seen in theological materialism, which retains religion and Godhood
but removes the suicidal goals which in any case do not lead to real
Godhood but lead only to the blissful feeling of no pain or suffering
when all willing and all desires cease, like a death in life, which
is a phrase actually used by some gurus!
We reach Godhood by affirming
material life and desires, Godhood is not reached by committing
suicide. Godhood is reached by refining and reforming the drives of
life with continuing knowledge of material and supermaterial
evolution toward real Godhood. We can keep religion but end the
Great Spiritual Blockade, which should make real conservatives happy.
