The nonexistent duality between the material and spiritual

The revealed religions developed the great spiritual blockade of material evolution to real Godhood. St. Thomas Aquinas said “God has created all men for beatitude, ” and “The last end of human life is beatitude,” which is the perfect act of seeing or feeling the divine being, an utmost state of bliss, not unlike Buddha advocating the non-material path to nirvana.

That highest ascetic goal of the revealed religions is to feel neither attachment or aversion to the world, which can bring liberation and beatitude, freeing the mind and body of all material desires; it is a high category of hypertrophied hedonism, and no easy task to accomplish.

Beatitude and nirvana are are not the goal of the Evolutionary Outward Path to real Godhood, they are the goal of the Involuntary Inward Path to the bliss of the Inward God or Father-Within, the Heaven-Within which Jesus Christ and Buddha sought and found.

But Godhood is not merely calculation, not meditation, not presence, not intuition, not deduction, and not the human experience of bliss. Godhood is a real supermaterial object, or objects, reached through material and supermaterial evolution. The highest act of life is not to have blissful intellectual intuition of God, it is to become Godhood in evolution.

Even so, the Twofold Path can conservatively retain or include the blissful intellectual intuition of God, seen in the Involutionary Inward Path to the Soul-Within. But we need not be blocked in a great spiritual blockade. We need to move on to the Evolutionary Outward Path, which is material and supermaterial evolution to ascending levels of real Godhood.

Can perfection be reached? No, just as perfection in evolution is never final, at least not until Godhood is attained, and even then evolution continues endlessly with ascending levels of Godhood, with no ending and no beginning.

This is not an evil or satanic view of Godhood, there is no Satan when there is no duality between the material and spiritual, calling it evil depends on a misinterpreted view of Godhood.
