Why theological materialism doesn't have to venture into spiritualism
Materialism doesn't have
to venture into spiritualism, materialism covers all the forms of
matter all the way to Godhood. Matter is convertible into energy or
light (photons or atoms of light), the same matter can change from
solid to liquid to gas. The beginning world-cosmos originally can
have been in the material form of vibrating atoms of light, then as
the world cooled the forms of matter changed to their other forms of
matter and those various forms of matter interacted and selected in
evolutionary ways, eventually evolving us. Matter
evolved to be materially activated from within toward metabolism,
growth, reproduction, which suggests direction toward an end, at
least toward survival and reproductive success, or evolutionary
success in the world...No need for spiritualism
in that dynamic. Energy or light is not God, it's a primitive form of
matter. The deepest drive of “life” is toward
evolving in the material world to ascending levels of Godhood,
supermaterial Godhood, which is also the zenith of success in
material life.
Theological
materialism instinctively and logically suggests totality, more than
a total
work of art (“Gesamtkunstwerk”),
more a total religion which can include all distinctive groups
politically living and evolving toward Godhood in an ethnopluralism
of ethnostates, with as much social order as is possible given real
kin and ethnic centered human nature, and retaining their uniqueness.
The
philosophy of theological materialism sounds fantastical, unreal,
phantasmagorical, but it is also down to earth, material, practical, and we
determinedly need it in our increasingly chaotic world.
