Similarities and differences with Zoroastrian Asha
Theological
materialism believes in a world of evolution, which some have called
“flux.” Like Indian Vedic Hinduism, Zoroastrianism is very old
and was very influential in other old religions, and Zoroastrian's
called this world of flux “Asha,” which defines how the real
world works. Zoroastrian's seek to live in accordance with asha or
how the world works according to their best knowledge, which leaves
them more open to science and new knowledge.
There
is the “idea” of existence in theological materialism and the
projected Theoevolutionary Church (TC) but actual existence is
central. Existence changes through material, not spiritual,
evolution. Truth defines even the changes, yet truth itself is not
existence, it is only the idea of existence.
But
outward material evolution and natural selection are also
activated from within to evolve toward Godhood (the zenith of
successful survival and reproduction) by an inward activation called
here the spirit or will or spirit-will, which is also
material.
TC
seeks to live in accordance with the evolution of material existence,
which is our essential asha or flux. The core of material evolution
also leaves us very open to science and change. It is evolution that
leads to real Godhood...and that Zoroastrian's probably
wouldn't define as the way to Godhood any more than Traditionalists
do, but new knowledge of asha says it is true.
Even
so, the Inward Paths of traditional religions need not be rejected,
they are retained in the Twofold Path and seen as the first human
glimpses or understandings of God, now superseded by the Outward Path
of material evolution to supermaterial Godhood. And that is living in
accordance with new knowledge of asha or evolution.
