Transforming the ascetic inward experience of God in the Outward Path of material evolution to real Godhood
Conservatives and
traditionalists rightly believe that religion should create the
foundation of long-term culture, but which religion? A religion that
does not ignore the biological origin of social behavior and the biological origin of religion and culture.
Traditional religions
declare that a non-material non-biological spiritual God is at the origin of
religion and culture. But the material activation of life in
every cell of the material body (here called Tirips) activates
life leading to the origin and creation of religion and culture.
Ascending levels of
Godhood are reached through material evolution, not the other way around. Supermaterial
Godhood is the goal of evolving life, not the origin of life, unless
you want to call the material activation of
life God.
Being
aware of the importance of conservative order to life and culture and
to maintaining the best of the past, the Twofold Path of theological
materialism retains in the Inward Path that first traditional human
glimpse of God as the ascetic, material, symbolic, experience of bliss, which
ascetics called God, arrived at by ridding their bodies of
biological desires. That ascetic inward experience is then
transformed in the Outward Path of material evolution leading to
ascending levels of real material/supermaterial Godhood.
Not
even a leap of faith is necessary to believe in the Godhood reached
by way of material evolution, but a little faith may be needed---and much work---in
believing we can and will attain real Godhood. And fading religion itself needs transforming if we are to have religion in the future---religion and science can be merged.
