We can have the religiously divine material without negative spiritualism
The West has been falling,
Western people have been dying faster than being born, which does
relate to their loss of religion and cultural coherence. But that
dying has had much to do with the anti-material (or anti-life)
metaphysics of traditional religion, which ultimately sees Godhood
and morality as non-material and spiritual. That does not much
encourage breeding faster than dying.
Contrary to the spiritual
ideologues of traditional religion we can have the religiously divine
material without negative spiritualism. We can have Godhood, cultural
coherence, and religion
without spiritualism.
Traditional religions
often use such things as fear of eternal!
damnation to hold people to their spiritualism, not reason or
common sense, but they can also use very cunning arguments, such as
the difference between tolerance and magnanimity, or they will agree
to separate and different rules for religion and science in order to
include science with religion in their worldview---Thomas Aquinas was
a genius at synthesizing ancient Greek philosophy into Christianity,
which probably saved Christianity from being intellectually overcome
by it.
But we can have Godhood,
cultural coherence, and religion
without spiritualism when we acknowledge the undeniably biological
origin of our social behavior, which includes religion. We
don't need to use fear of eternal
damnation or cunning arguments to hold people to religion when
religion sees Godhood as evolved to in the material world.
Analogous to Aquinas saving Christianity, in the Twofold Path our
tolerance defined as magnanimity can conservatively retain
the old spiritual symbolism of the inward path to the god or
father-within, as long as that peak (material) experience
is transformed in the outward path to real supermaterial
Godhood evolved to in the material
world.
Every cell in our body
wants to live and evolve in the world not die to the world, we need
to get in harmony with that sacred activation.
