Being and becoming are essentially material evolution


Being is mainly becoming, never static, never really absolute, always evolving---although when material life evolves to the level of eternal life that seems almost absolute. Being and becoming are essentially material evolution.

When Nietzsche says becoming I say material and supermaterial evolution, when mystics say Being I say material evolution leading to supermaterial Godhood. This brings material reality back to the mind and body, and back to nature itself.

It was a metaphysical and philosophical error to make a God of logos, reason, and even science. That error caused the worship of words, equations and ideas which are only abstract definitions of living truths and living Gods. A living thing is more important than its definition. The name of Godhood needs to be transformed from a mere abstract spiritual name or idea into a living or future living material/supermaterial object, or objects.

The blocking of a conscious material evolution has taken place along a wide path, from religion to politics to the arts, and even science, which means many obstacles remain in the evolution of life toward Godhood.

This does not call for the rejection of religion, politics, the arts, and science, but requires their adaptation to take up the cause of the evolution of life toward Godhood, which may be the closest we can come to defining the sacred meaning of Being and Becoming. Religion, politics, the arts, and science can grow and become more real and less alienating with the worldview of theological materialism.
