The Ideal of The Instincts
It seems to me that one of the difficulties conservatives have with imparting a “moral imagination” (Burke, Kirk) derives from the difficulty that comes from disdaining and denigrating the “naked ape” notion of man.
When you try to teach morality by appealing only to “spiritual things” while demeaning the instincts and material things, you are ignoring the 1000 pound Gorilla in the room. It is not the instincts that are bad but the teaching of goalless instincts that is bad. The Ideal of the Instincts is Godhood, what could be higher? This is far more than a mere naked ape view of the instincts.

Joseph Schumpeter: “make of eugenics a religion.”
"The genes hold culture on a leash. The leash is very long, but inevitably values will be constrained in accordance with their effects on the human gene pool. The brain is a product of evolution. Human behavior . .is the circuitous technique by which human genetic material has been and will be kept intact..." Edward O. Wilson
“We have decommissioned natural selection and must now look deep within ourselves and decide what we wish to become.” E. O. Wilson
“Ethnopluralism”: Different ethnic groups are equal before the law but ought to live in separation from each other in ethnostates, protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc., with some kind of defensive federalism.
Reform should repair, not tear down. (Sharon James, on Burke)

Various Quotes
Truth sprouts from the earth -- Psalms 85:12
"Nature holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction. " E. O. Wilson
“All modern political teachings are secularized theological concepts” (Carl Schmitt)
"A state without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation." Edmund Burke
“The impossible missions are the only ones which succeed.” ~Jacques Yves Cousteau
“...For if America is to endure as a nation, her peoples are going to need the freedom to live differently and the space to live apart, according to their irreconcilable beliefs...”
“...Can we all just get along?” asked Rodney King during the Los Angeles riot of 1992. Well, if we can’t, we can at least dwell apart...After all, it’s a big country. ”
Patrick J. Buchanan
"... New faiths have to be grafted upon old ones. All great teachers have built upon the past traditions of the race. They have to come to lead. They alter and adapt the Eternal Ancient Wisdom to the peculiar needs of that race, to the particular Message which that race is destined to leave for humanity. So also the Lord Zoroaster found a certain mass of tradition in Iran and the Message He gave to this branch of the human race was based upon what they had inherited from a dim and distant past..."

"He who hath grown wise concerning old origins, lo, he will at last seek after the fountains of the future and new origins." (Friedrich Nietzsche "Thus Spake Zarathustra")
"Wherever an altar is found, there civilization exists" – Joseph de Maistre
"Far from being the ultimate measure of all things, man can only realize himself in reaching beyond himself."

"What is enclosed in the sanctuary of the arcana

"The universe is a machine for making gods." Bergson
“The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens.” Rilke
"Things change because they are not complete." St. Thomas Aquinas
"All culture arises out of religion. When religious faith decays, culture must decline, though often seeming to flourish for a space of time after the religion which has nourished it has fallen into disbelief... no cultured person should remain indifferent to the erosion of apprehension of the transcendent." Russell Kirk, Eliot and His Age
Fundamentalists claim to be returning to an original Christianity based on biblical texts, seemingly unaware that as early as the third century, Christian scholars such as Origen were arguing that the scriptures, at a time when the New Testament was still not in its final form, needed to be interpreted allegorically rather than literally. Who are the traditionalists here? — Charles Freeman
“A writer’s goal is to fight the lie.” Alexander Solzhenitsyn
"The innovator has for enemies all who have done well under the old conditions and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under the new” Machiavelli
“God who is eternally complete, who directs the stars, who is the master of fates, who elevates man from his lowliness to Himself, who speaks from the cosmos to every single human soul, is the most brilliant manifestation of the goal of perfection.”
Alfred Adler
Believe one who has tried: You shall find a fuller satisfaction in the woods than in books. The trees and the rocks will teach you what you cannot hear from the masters.

If I have the least bit of knowledge
I will follow the great Way alone
and fear nothing but being sidetracked.
The great Way is simple
but people delight in complexity.
Tao Te Ching, 53.
"What is culture? The word itself comes from “cultus” or cult and has intrinsic religious dimensions. Culture, strictly speaking, refers to all the aspects of daily life that bear the imprint of society’s religious center: tools, architecture, clothing, as well as art, literature, and music. From this perspective, culture refers to the sanctification of daily life.”
The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God.

According to Aristotle, nature itself drives toward the good.

Einstein: “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
"We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question that divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct." Niels Bohr
"Archetypes are like riverbeds which dry up when the water deserts them, but which it can find again at any time. An archetype is like an old watercourse along which the water of life flowed for centuries, digging a deep channel for itself. The longer it has flowed in the channel the more likely it is that sooner or later the water will return to its old bed."[Wotan, C.G. Jung]
“A theory is more impressive the greater is the simplicity of its premise, the more different are the kinds of things it relates and the more extended its range of applicability…”

“To Know the Absolute is to Be the Absolute.” Bede Griffiths
To define is not to know, to be is to know. To be or not to be is indeed the question. KLA
My teachings are very easy to understand and to practice; yet there is no one in the world who is able either to understand or to practice them. This is because my teachings have an originating principle and arise from an integrated system. This is not understood, so I am unknown.
~ Lao Tzu
Take refuge in the law of evolution.
It is possible to learn the outer steps that must be accomplished in a rite without learning the inner meanings that are the keys to the sacred traditions. Each seeker must therefore open his heart to the Great Mystery as he tries to follow the sacred way, because the perfect accomplishment of the outer steps of a rite will be worth nothing without the knowledge of the inner meanings.

We can only accommodate the changing demographics of the nation and the world if we hold fast to the rights and independence of the states and of local rule. Otherwise the always changing demographics may vote the laws and the Constitution out of existence, and the freedom to evolve will be lost. KLA

It is not words or numbers or the order of words and numbers that govern the Kosmos, it is the Objects that the words and numbers define which govern the Kosmos. (KLA)
Materia and energy are INTERTWINED with time in physics. So there can not be any time before materia and energy, neither can we say that materia and energy are eternal as if there was some kind of meta-time, because there is no such thing. And if the supernatural does exist, it is natural. There is no point in talking of something being supernatural. If something does exist IT IS PART OF NATURE, part of Ahura.
Alexander Bard
