The future of religion transformed
Matter is energy, but energy is
matter. There would be no matter without energy but also no energy without matter. Do we really want to rate one higher than the other?
I would then rate living matter as more evolved than simple energy. Spiritualism turns the real material world upside-down and claims that the
religious/philosophical ideal is not really material, is not
matter, or is more sacred energy than lowly matter. They claim that
their supreme ideas are non-material and Godlike, or even God.
Why the hatred of the material world
even to the point of blocking all material desires or blocking all life, at least for ascetics? They do it so
that they can dwell in the blissful bodily experience of supreme
ideas, unbothered and unaffected by material desires. It is a
cloistered world ultimately driven by hedonism.
The main problem with traditional
asceticism is that it blocks the path of material evolution to
real supermaterial Godhood, which requires material
desires, but channeled desires that need to genetically and
culturally funnel evolving life-forms toward the supermaterial zenith
of beauty, truth and goodness. This allows material science to enter
religion as a help-mate. That is the future of religion transformed.
We can conservatively keep the old ascetic inward path to the "god" within in the Twofold Path, but only as a symbolic glimpse of the real Godhood reached in the outward path of material evolution to real Godhood.
