How the "spiritual" element in religion and philosophy became a Great Spiritual Blockade


If the fundamentals of philosophy are indebted to the Neoplatonists, as some have suggested, then no wonder philosophy has been so messed up and obfuscating.

I don't know if it all began with the Indian philosophers or with Plato but the "spiritual" element in religion and philosophy became what I call the Great Spiritual Blockade against material life evolving to real supermaterial Godhood---(it didn't end that natural process but just greatly slowed it down.)

That is also where "duality" got its false start. There is no duality between spirit and matter, mind and body, or spirit and body, these things are all material, including the zenith of these things, which is Godhood.

Forms and definitions can be important but they all material not spiritual, and are not something to be worshiped as a God.

That is the central point I make in the philosophy of theological materialism. The Twofold Path is not a duality, it conservatively retains the first glimpse of Godhood or the Father Within in the Inward Path of ancient religion and philosophy but sees that Godhood as a symbolic experience in the material mind only, which can be reached only in the Outward Path of material evolution.

There is no chair in any philosophy or religious department for this philosophy---that may be both a good and bad thing, good for independence and originality, bad for support.
