God is the end of all our actions.
The Inward Path: Seven Involutionary Virtues
Prudence, justice, courage, temperance, faith, hope and charity.
The Outward Path: Evolution
The goal of the Involutionary Virtues is to understand God, the goal of the Evolutionary Ethics is to evolve to God.
“ There are six main entities to which an individual's ethical values can be functionally oriented: fellow group members, the group government, other group governments, members of other groups, individuals committed to a Beyondist Ethic, and, above all, the Evolutionary Purpose. Each of these objects calls for precise alignment of its loyalties, in a situational hierarchy among them. For example, a man's ethical loyalty to his own group exceeds that to members of "mankind" generally. However (a) the injunctions of the different "object" ethics are different, mostly, in kind, and (b) circumstances put emphasis on the primary survival of all groups, if the total existence of man is threatened. The rose diagram of ethical values should answer many ethical questions now troubling teachers and religious-political parties.” “A Concise Beyondist Catechism” (Raymond Cattell) This can work in harmony with the Catholic social structure of Subsidiarity.
As we said in an earlier post, to love ones neighbor is not literally to love the whole world, which would be contrary to human nature, it is to love one's kin, one's group. This definition harmonizes with the definition of love of God: evolution takes place best in diverse, separate groups, thus in loving one's group and loving ones neighbor we love God, and we love God by evolving to God. We love the world in the sense that we affirm the right of every group to love its own neighbor, its own group, then all groups may love God by evolving to God.
Material law is in harmony with spiritual evolution, the Classical joins the Christian, science synchronizes with religion.
God is the end of all our actions, thus we must understand the right way to reach God, and if He is not the end of all our actions then our actions our meaningless, or ignorant, or perhaps even evil.
