The sacred goal of material life evolving to real supermaterial Godhood has been blocked

When you think of God as “Being itself ” you then are told by St. Thomas that you can strive to be a “likeness “ of God. This assumes that material life cannot become Gods since we are told that God is non-material and spiritual.

That worldview undervalues and underestimates material life and the sacred goal of material life, because it misdiagnoses the path of the material evolution of life to ascending levels of real material/supermaterial Godhood.

I don't see a “last end” where a one perfect non-material God is attained, there is only ascending levels of real Godhood reached by continual material evolution, with starts and stops along the way. Final endings and first beginnings are a human bias brought on by our own mortality.

When life is artificially divided by a false duality between the nonexistent spiritual and the existent material this undervalues, underestimates, and blocks the sacred goal of material life evolving to real supermaterial Godhood.
