As the asceticism of the Inward Path is rolled back
As the asceticism of the
Inward Path, which is the foundation of the revealed religions, is
rolled back (transformed not rejected) in the theological materialism
of the projected Theoevolutionary Church, we will better see the
ascetic Inward Path contrast with the Outward Path of material
evolution to ascending levels of Godhood.
We will also see how the
Outward Path corrects the rejection of some of the values of
European paganism, especially in the Inward Path disparagement and
spiritual blockade of materialism in favor of non material
asceticism.
The material evolution of
life toward Godhood brings back the contrast between Outward Path
evolution and the Inward Path values seen in its sacrifice,
renunciation, asceticism, fasting etc. designed to reject the drives
and desires of material life mainly so as to
experience the beatific vision, which like nirvana is a peak material
experience brought on by severe ascetic restrictions.
The
evolutionary Outward Path to Godhood
brings back the ideals of life and living, heroism, cultivating
wisdom, strength, beauty, health, kinship and ethnic bonds, harmony
with life and nature, instincts such as sexuality are again religiously
appreciated and vital because we evolve to Godhood only by way of
material evolution and successful survival and reproduction, which
now can be aided by the genetic sciences.
But
we can conservatively retain that old Inward Path to the God within
as the first imperfect glimpse of Godhood wrongly defined as
spiritual now seen as materially evolving to ascending levels of Godhood in the Outward
Path.
