Bringing material beauty back to religion (from the archive)

The highest possible degree of the spirituality in Traditionalism leads to the decline of the material body due to the Great Spiritual Blockade. But the Half-Truth of the Inward Path can join the Half-Truth of the Outward Path to end the spiritual blockade of the Outward Path of material evolution toward Godhood. We can bring Eros, survival, and reproduction back to the sacred, after it has been largely exiled by Traditionalism due to its materialistic content which is considered inferior.

The sacred essence of survival and reproduction is the activating thirst for heavenly beauty which can be reached in the Outward Path of material evolution toward Godhood. When this Sacred Goal of Eros is missing, sex and reproduction can be defined as profane. “Eros with ethics” was the way someone defined advanced Paganism but this was lost in the spiritual abstractions of the Inward Path of the revealed religions. 

 
Sacred Art follows the thirst for heavenly beauty, whereas profane art does not. The activation of material life within, Tirips, helps activate the thirst for the beauty without. Traditionalism tends to see and define only the recalling of the inner path, making an idol of the Soul Within; Traditionalism then puts up a Great Spiritual Blockade against the thirst for material beauty which reaches its zenith in supermaterial Godhood.

Life need not be thought of as “sinking” to scientific rationalism any more than it should sink to spiritualism. Both have been idol-worshiping at one time or another. Traditionalism made an idol of the Soul Within even as it virtually rejected the earth and the material world by calling these things idol worship. Godhood is an evolved sacred material object in the world, not merely an equation outside the world defined as non-material Perfect Truth.

Traditionalism gave us hubristic authority beyond the material world, beyond the stars, and Traditionalism continues to supplant astronomy and biology with the exclusivity of the spiritual Inward Path. But life and beauty can be religiously exhumed from this material neglect.

The Inner God is the Outer God we must evolve to. The Order of the Outward Path of evolution to Godhood brings Eros back, reproduction and evolution to Godhood can be affirmed.

Would this view of art and religion have given aid to Nietzsche?
