The Involutionary Inward Path is the traditional path to the Kingdom of God within, and the Evolutionary Outward Path is the evolutionary path to the Godhood first seen in the Inward Path. The Outward Path applies science and any other knowledge, including knowledge from the Inward Path, to help mankind evolve from the material to the supermaterial and finally to Godhood.
Political philosophy can follow this evolutionary lead, making possible the evolution of all people, all races, all states through decentralization and light federalism, which protects the freedom to evolve, even in the face of competition.
It took many centuries for man to develop the philosophy of decentralization and decontrol over centralization and control, from the Vedas and Aristotle to the Founding Fathers of the United States, with the checks and balances on power in the Constitution, which created the highest standard of basic living in human history. In the absence of these religious and political principles, evolution will certainly continue, but selfish imperialism and brute force become likely, which can lead to the destruction of evolution.
The arts too can follow this direction affirming the sacred direction of evolution with moral creativity.
The fundamental religious principle of the evolution to Godhood guides these concrete considerations. But principles alone do not move history unless they are aligned with the reality of evolution, or to be more precise, in harmony with the teleological evolution of life to Godhood, which is defined in the theological materialism of the Theoevolutionary Church.
