The "real self" is the activation to life from within

The "real self" is the activation to life from within, here called Tirips. All the traditional religions, in there most serious modes, have asked us to deny that activation to life and have declared that the way to salvation is to renounce the desires of the flesh. And they furthermore say that desirelessness is "pure knowing." Knowing what, we may ask? Knowing non-existence, knowing the opposite of life. That is a macabre knowledge to claim. It is life turned on its head.

Even so, we human beings began the search for God that way and that Inward Path can be conservatively retained as having been the first attempt to find real Godhood, which is reached in the Outward Path by way of the very material evolution hedonistically renounced by the early gurus. This is the Twofold Path of theological materialism.

The canon of the traditional (Catholic) Mass, according to Coomaraswamy and many others, consists of parts instituted by Christ Himself, with a few sacred prayers added by the Apostles. The Inward God is reached in this Mass. But in reaching real Godhood tradition and material evolution flow together. We evolve in the material world to supermaterial Godhood.  A new or combined Mass of Joy for the Evolutionary Outward Path to Godhood is needed.
