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.
