What is the deepest root of culture?
Clear thinking and clear
writing religious philosopher Joseph Pieper wrote about an era where
the world of work and moneyed business is the whole field of human
experience, in contrast to living in an era where the
deepest root of culture is in concord with and validated by undisputed
festivals, celebrations, or masses of the gods as the deepest root of
culture.
But traditional religions
introduced into the “deepest root of culture” festivals and masses
celebrating a non-material spiritual world not of this
material world. How can a world whose religious founders reject the
material world and affirm a non-material spiritual world be the
deepest field of human experience and the root of all culture? In
reality the world has faded away from religion that way.
Yes, we need a world where
religion is the root of culture, but a religious philosophy that
affirms the evolution of the material world as the path to
Godhood, which can heal the rift between religion and science, not by
considering them two different ways of looking at the world but as allies in affirming the deepest
root of culture as being the evolution of the material world to
always ascending levels of supermaterial Godhood.
Masses celebrating the
sacrificing of the material world to the spiritual world need
to be transformed, not rejected, with Masses celebrating and validating the
evolution of the material world to supermaterial Godhood. With the Twofold Path the Inward Path saints can be transformed by Outward Path heroes. That
is the goal of theological materialism and the projected
Theoevolutionary Church.
