Reductionism in religion and science has to watch not to kill the thing observed

Just because a physical object is a collection of subatomic particles held together by energy does not mean that “all is energy,” any more than man is only mind. These things evolved to be the increasingly complicated material objects that they are. Reductionism has to watch not to kill the thing observed.

Just as we can't say that all is energy, we also can't say that all is spiritual. Ascending levels of Godhood are not gradually evolving toward the nothingness of non-material spiritualism, there is no non-material spiritual, all is material and evolving toward supermaterial Godhood.

The God of traditional religions lives only in the mind as a peak experience of the mind and body, seen best after ascetically blocking or overcoming all desires, then it is wrongly defined as a blissful non-material experience of God.

In the coming world we can have Godhood and religion and priests who work with scientists on the ways and means to materially evolve to real supermaterial Godhood.
