Nothingness and goallessness seen as in error


Darwin, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Wilson all brilliantly described activating dynamics behind human life, but none really described material evolution to Godhood as the goal of those life dynamics. Schopenhauer saw an irrational will behind everything which needed to be blocked, Nietzsche found an irrational will-to-power which needed to be let free, and Darwin and Wilson found the drive to survival and reproductive success behind life. Some of these men rejected or down-played religious views regarding the drives of life---in explaining life, religion itself had already been largely put aside by the material sciences.

In theological materialism religion is revived, but the entirely spiritual Godhood is understood as an entirely material and supermaterial Godhood. The goal of the inward activation of life (called here the spirit-will although it is material) is to evolve to a succession of material/supermaterial Godhoods, seen as the zenith of success in survival and evolution, while working unconscionably and then consciously with the ebb and flow of outside evolution. Science works with religion in this sacred quest.  In the Twofold Path the old religions are seen as the first Inward Path glimpses of God, and are retained, but now transformed in the Outward Path of material evolution to real Godhood.
