Josef Pieper writing about the “purely receptive stance toward reality undisturbed by any interruption by the will,” or Thomas Aquinas saying that the human being can only be satisfied by the vision, the beatific vision, of God, or mystics saying that human beings are designed for that vision and nothing less than such an end, has put up a great “spiritual” blockade against material life evolving toward real supermaterial Godhood.

The end-goal that real life is designed for
Josef Pieper writing about the “purely receptive stance toward reality undisturbed by any interruption by the will,” or Thomas Aquinas saying that the human being can only be satisfied by the vision, the beatific vision, of God, or mystics saying that human beings are designed for that vision and nothing less than such an end, has put up a great “spiritual” blockade against material life evolving toward real supermaterial Godhood.
“Interruption” by the
will? What about the sacred activation of the material will within life (Tirips) to
activate material life to evolve toward success in survival and reproduction which eventually leads to supermaterial Godhood (from the frogs to the Gods), always working within outside evolutionary selection and in spite of instances
of stagnation and retreat? That Godhood is the
end-goal that real life is designed for.
Even so, the
ascetic Inward Path can be conservatively retained in the Twofold
Path as the first inward glimpses of the Outward Path of material
life evolving to real supermaterial Godhood, just as both
conservatism and material evolution retain the best of the past even as
they change.
