The Twofold Path and the nature of the Sacred Cause (from the archive)

The Will or Tirips within matter seeks to materially evolve to Godhood by activating matter to do so, which is then shaped by evolution and natural selection. As long as we are alive every cell in our body demands survival and reproductive success. This natural activation, which I call Tirips, can be blocked, subverted, or it can be unknown to us, but it can't legitimately be intellectually or instinctively denied. This cause is not like the child of Gods, it is more like the Mother of Gods, like a Materia-Spiritus giving birth to evolving matter which can then evolve to ascending levels of Father Godhood. The matter and supermatter which do not succeed in evolving to Godhood can fall back to Primal Matter and can try again. And so the cosmos acts. This religious perspective can harmonize with natural science theories of the origin of the universe, with the Will or Tirips added.

“External alchemy” is the material and super-material ongoing evolution of human beings all the way to Godhood by way of the Evolutionary Outward Path, whereas “internal alchemy” is the traditional way of seeking the “God” Within of the “Soul” by way of the Involutionary Inward Path---the “spiritual” God Within of the Soul is inwardly and materially experienced as bliss when all the material desires are gotten rid of by ascetics, like Christ or Buddha, which, alas, blocks evolving matter from evolving to ascending levels of Godhood.

“Alchemy” denotes the remaining mystery of these goals, now merged with the modern sciences of chemistry, biology, genetics, and so on in the Outward Path of material evolution toward Godhood.
