Theiosis
Ideas similiar to Sri Aurobindo's teaching about divinisation of matter,
were very popular
in Oriental (Byzantine and Russian) Christianty (theosis/theiosis)
Some Russian religious philosophers of around the turn of the 20th century
were extremely fond of the idea of divinization of matter, the world of
perfect God-Men, etc. Vladimir Solovyev (died in 1900) was the most
famous
representative of this trend of mystical thought (it is interesting
also that he was a great admirer of Kabbalah and Gnosticism).
