In some respects the “liberation of women” has, perhaps unknowingly, agreed with the traditional, Inward Path perspective in the denigration of reproduction. How demeaning to define the female principle, prakriti, or Shakti, as profane powerful nature opposed to the sacred, spiritual Shiva, or purusha, the male principle. At the mystical level, the Involutionary Inward Path of the Revealed Religions has at best used women as symbols for the beloved Holy Wisdom. The medieval Knights and the troubadours, according to Evola, were dedicated to this kind of symbolic spiritual woman.
In the Evolutionary Outward Path of the Theoevolutionary Church women are certainly far more than symbolic of spiritual wisdom. Women are, along with their men, sacred vehicles and vessels that move evolution upward through reproduction, eventually to Godhood. Real, physical beauty can be glorified. The true liberation of women, and men, comes from unblocking the Great Spiritual Blockade of the Inward Path. Physical virility is affirmed in the Outward Path, spiritual virility is affirmed in the Inward Path. Spiritual values are first reflected in material values, not the other way around.
This may not be the denigration of reproduction that modern liberation movements prefer, but in this evolutionary sense, the “animal-nature” needs to be liberated, or exhumed. Reproduction is not taken here as irrational Dionysian frenzy, but as carefully directed evolution upward to Godhood. Evolution is not profane, devolution is. Call it evolutionary alchemy, the laboratory of evolution, the true divine chemistry.
