The aim and zenith

 Andrew Balio wrote “Johann Sebastian Bach said that “The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.” That is another way to say that the aim and final end of all music should be Beauty, for it has always been with beauty that we glorify God just as it has always been beauty that refreshes our souls."

The philosophy of theological materialism believes that life evolves materially to Godhood and defines that Godhood as the zenith of beauty, truth, and goodness and the fulfillment of the soul, or Tirips, which is the the will-to-Godhood activating material life. Life is then shaped by the vagaries of outside natural selection and evolution. There is endless evolution toward higher and higher truth, intelligence, beauty, and goodness, that is, continually evolving ascending Godhoods are reached. Tirips or the will-to-Godhood within life decides where it wants to go first, toward Godhood, and then the body, mind and culture, and outside evolution, follow as best they can, given the various environments life finds itself living in. But life can also fall back in devolution, new cosmos are formed again, but always giving life another chance to evolve to Godhood.
