The leap too far and bringing Godhood back to reality


The times of Homer were more right philosophically than the times of Plato in seeing the life-force depart with death, extended only with reputation and material offspring. The life of the non-material transcendent soul, the “leap of being,” was a leap too far.

But this does not mean that Godhood and order are lost, far from it, the evolution of material life to ever-ascending levels of Godhood brings Godhood back to reality, back to the natural world, back to philosophical naturalism (see theological materialism).  It will require all the real conservative order, all the bonding of religion, all the discoveries of science that we can muster to retain the best of the past as we continually evolve toward the future.

Audacious as it sounds, the death of religion, the death of God, the death of order, the death of the West, the death of Western people, need not advance if we can transform outworn, non-material, theological spiritualism into theological materialism.
