On Fascism, Conservatism and the Theoevolutionary Church

"Before the yews, no (evil) magic can remain."

Conservatives generally accept the concept that history arises from the cult, our religious bond regarding the sense of the sacred (see Kirk). Conservatives tend to downplay (but not overlook) the genetic qualities of the people bonding within the cult. Racialists say that history arises essentially from the race, from the genetic qualities of the people who develop the cult (see Cattell). Racialists tend to downplay (but not overlook) the religion of the people.

The Theoevolutionary Church (TC) affirms both Traditional religion and the genetic qualities of a people, and we insist on not singling out, for example, a “noble Aryan” or a “chosen Judaic.” Racial and state imperialism have damaged the variety and separation necessary for the true evolution of all of the human species, as well as destroying the maintenance of Traditions.

Ethnic Federalism in some form, with small independent states---for example, the U.S. Constitution, which is (or should be) tolerant of all religions and small states---seems to be a good way to proceed in the world of competing peoples and competing states. A balance of order and evolution (Ordered Evolution), or a balance of conservatism and evolutionary change is necessary. Conservatism alone tends to stagnate, and evolutionary change alone tends to destroy evolved Traditions. We need both. In TC, the Evolutionary Inward Path affirms Traditional religion and the Evolutionary Outward Path affirms evolutionary change. We must make it possible for all people and all states to evolve to Godhood.

Our existence is defined as the movement of evolution to higher and higher stages, and we must not on the one hand stagnate at any one level, or, on the other hand destroy the various levels which were so painfully attained. One day the laws of science may reveal the more precise manner in which we evolve to Godhood (Evolutionary Outward Path), which is the God first revealed in Traditional religions (the Involutionary Inward Path.) Our planet and the Kosmos moves with the force of evolution to Godhood and we must affirm this sacred bond with the Spirit if we are to save ourselves and the world. As the old religions fade we will need this transcendent bond for the rising worldview to endure, mere political ideology does not endure.
