Theological materialism in one paragraph
I realized awhile back that I like to try to write my whole philosophy in one paragraph, it
organizes and concentrates the mind---I think Nietzsche said
something about liking to do this. Here is my Latest:
Theological materialism renders
religion and Godhood concrete, material, and mostly verifiable by observation or
experience, but it requires the affirmation of purpose in the inward activation of
material evolution to evolve toward supermaterial Godhood, which is
the zenith of success in material survival and reproduction. Godhood
is not the wholly spiritual God of traditional religion and not the wholly spiritual Absolute of philosophy. The often crude and
sometimes seemingly random outside forces of natural evolution and
selection, which have been increasingly mapped by science, work or
can work in synchronization if not rational harmony with the inward
activation of material life to evolve toward Godhood. The old Inward
Path of traditional religions of symbolically experiencing the
god-within is not rejected but is conservatively seen in the Twofold
Path as the first glimpse of Godhood, which is transformed in the
Outward Path of material evolution and leads to the supermaterial
object or objects of real Godhood.
