The sacred synthesis of theological materialism (from 2018)

I think theological materialism better solves the tragic separation that took place as rationalism weakened or destroyed myth and faith, which Hegel, Nietzsche, and others intellectually wrestled with.

Science, the jewel of the reason and the Enlightenment, can be a great aid in the material evolution of life to supermaterial Godhood, which retains myth and faith since the God or Gods are not rejected but transformed in evolutionary theological materialism.

The philosophy of art which Nietzsche thought could replace a religion that ascetically rejected material life, can affirm life, evolution, heroism, and creative moral art, with the sacred affirmation of material evolution to supermaterial Godhood.

For conservatives or traditionalists the Twofold Path retains the old religion of the involutionary inward path to the symbolic God Within but transforms it in the evolutionary outward path of material evolution to real supermaterial Godhood.

Three cheers?
