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.
