It should be understood clearly that although the goal of evolving to Godhood is the Divine Path in nature, following this Path is a voluntary act in the Theoevolutionary Church. Coercive means are prohibited. Private voluntary programs for positive evolution, practiced by individuals and groups is affirmed. The hope is always that social mores and religious knowledge will change so that people will see the importance of positive evolution.
The Revitalized Conservatism I advocate enhances this laissez-faire attitude toward positive evolution. Society should be left alone without government meddling so that the healthiest people rise naturally. Small is beautiful and variety is seen as the best environment for positive evolution. But at the same time the Theoevolutionary Church will help the less conscious, the less intelligent, the less refined, to evolve toward higher things, and this applies to all people, all races, all states.
Defining what improvements are desired has been called a pseudoscience because it has been seen as a cultural choice and therefore not determined by science. But sociobiology, the Human Genome Project, genetic engineering, prenatal testing, genetic counseling, in vitro fertilization etc. have brought science to positive evolution. Small differences in IQ at the group level can have very big effects at the social level. And the effects of diseases are almost always negative on society. Positive evolution can reduce much suffering in the world.
The research centers for sociobiological projects envisioned by Raymond Cattell can be modified to be included in the Order of the Outward Path of the Church, where each group, each race, each state can find counseling on the path to Godhood. And this would be separate from the state, as religion is in the United States.
It is important to see that this is not merely a controversial and heretical social plan, this is the Path to Godhood, the purpose of existence, which has been blocked even by religion up to this point. The God Within is not enough, although it is included in the Inward Path, and the Twofold Path, of the Theoevolutionary Church. We, or our descendants, must evolve to Godhood in the Kosmos, which is the Zenith of Evolution.
