On the virtues

Virtue resides in the Spirit, and the Spirit is also the Will to Godhood which activates life to Godhood. The highest virtues are related to the force that leads to Godhood. This defines virtue in the older sense of “a power to accomplish the task.” St. Paul added the theological virtues of faith, hope and charity.

There are the virtues of nurture (Saints), and the virtues of nature (Heroes).

To truly revive a people the Involutionary Virtues alone will not suffice, it would be like building a structure without a foundation. We must also affirm the Evolutionary Virtues which relate to the biological origins of much of social behavior.

The Involutionary Inward Path Virtues: (eg. Catholicism) Faith, hope and charity (Christian), Prudence, justice, courage, temperance (Greek).
The Evolutionary Outward Path Virtues ( Beyondism): Evolution: higher intelligence, higher consciousness, higher beauty,

The goal of the Involutionary Virtues is to understand and see God, the goal of the Evolutionary Ethics is to evolve to God.
