Two
great minds, German Catholic philosopher Josef Pieper (1904 –1997),
and living Sociobiologist E. O. Wilson were brilliant in elucidating
their deepest means but middling in perceiving their deepest ends.
Pieper's means of “be still and know” and Wilson's systematic
study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world, miss the deepest end of life as described by theological materialism.
The
end of the deepest means of traditional religion is to reach heaven, but it is a
so-called non-material heaven reached by ascetic's ridding the body
of all desires to experience the bliss of an inward Godhood. The end
of science is to reach the zenith of material knowledge of reality,
which is an abstraction in the mind perhaps not unlike the experience
of the bliss of an inward Godhood.
The
problem is, their is no non-materialism, there is only materialism
and super-materialism, and supermaterial Godhood is evolved to in the
material and supermaterial world. So the deepest ends of Pieper and
Wilson are misleading.
Both
the cultures of religion and science need as the end to
their means the ever ascending levels of supermaterial Godhood
evolved to in the material and supermaterial world.
