The “immediate needs of
life” which the mystics say we must look past to see the “essences”
do “say it all” if we include the taboo biological origin
of social behavior, which includes religion.
There is no real invisible
non-material world of essences reserved only for “un-bourgeois”
ascetic mystics and philosophers to see, as German Catholic
philosopher Josef Pieper and thinkers all the back to the Vedas and
Plato claimed.
The same will to life,
which includes the “bourgeois” drive to survival and reproductive
success, drives material evolution toward supermaterial Godhood, the
real Godhood.
Calling the immediate
concern for material interests and social respectability
insignificant compared to the invisible world of essences, or calling
the ascetic blocking of material drives to experience the God within
“un-bourgeois,” attacks real life even deeper than Marx did, and
deeply demeans the path of material evolution to
real supermaterial Godhood.
