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.
