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.
