The epic transformation in seeing Godhood related to natural not supernatural spiritual forces


Many people in the "civilized" world have virtually no religion or mythology that interests them and so they often feel lost in the modern world. But order and direction can be brought back to the people and the culture by reattaching religion, philosophy, poetry, and science to the biological origin of our social behavior---which perhaps most importantly includes religion---that is, by affirming the evolution of material life to supermaterial, not spiritual, Godhood. We can then have an historical religious synthesis worthy of the past, present, and future.

Godhood is related to natural, not supernatural or spiritual forces. The spiritual was deeply inserted in religion---but not maliciously. As science and reason advanced, the religious insistence on the supernatural and spiritual led to the rejection of God, religion, and even morality. So it was religion itself and not merely science and reason which was responsible for the rejection of God, religion, and morality.

We can return to Godhood, religion, and morality, after the devastation caused by its loss, with the epic transformation in seeing Godhood related to natural not supernatural spiritual forces. We evolve unendingly in the material world to higher levels of supermaterial Godhood. That is a change in metaphysics as prodigious as the discovery of reason and science by the Greeks, only without causing the the slow death of Godhood, religion, and morality.
