Bringing Godhood back reformed and redefined in the Twofold Path


Of course it sounds like a big inflation or a grandiose delusion to say so, but to look into the abyss and see that the God defined in the past is not there, or is there only inwardly in the human mind, leaves humanity without real solace in the cosmos. This calls for a remedy, the healing balm of religion and art, which Nietzsche saw as the deepest origin of ancient culture. That is, it calls for revitalized religion, bringing Godhood back reformed and redefined as ascending levels of Godhood reached by way of material and supermaterial evolution. This is myth-religion-art brought forward by nature itself through human beings, to help make sense of existence, to make existence bearable and truthful.

In the Twofold Path the Inward Path is synthesized and fulfilled in the Outward Path which can heal us and create a religious, psychological and cultural wholeness. Biology, science, art and social philosophy can legitimately join religion in the goal of nature itself, which is to materially evolve to ascending levels of Godhood. We can turn our gaze away from the horrible to the sublime as ancient religions once did.

Human culture should not be asked to mutilate human nature by grafting the incongruous Inward Path of mystic religions on the deeper and far stronger Outward Path of material evolution, like putting a superficial veneer over a natural oak. We need to go back, but religiously, to our neglected deeper biological roots and give the material world a better chance to evolve to real Godhood.

We do this not by rejecting the Inward Path to the God Within, or Father Within, which is a mirror or virtual glimpse of real Godhood evolved to in the cosmos in the Outward Path. Human nature and conservative human history tell us that we need ordered evolution not radical revolution. In the Twofold Path the Inward Path is synthesized and fulfilled in the Outward Path.
