On Instincts

“Following the instincts” has often been defined as a bad thing by the rational world, but the instincts are good, the Spirit Within is the highest instinct in nature.

Instincts began to be something to block when philosophers and theologians misread and misdefined God and Godhood. This led to a material-hating and life-hating concentration exclusively on the Involutionary Inward Path to the Soul Within, which defined the Soul essentially as God, while excluding or simply being ignorant of the Evolutionary Outward Path to the real Godhood.

Following our instincts need not lead backward to the “noble savage” but forward to civilizing the beast through material evolution to Godhood, activated by the Spirit Within, which is the Will To Godhood. The instinct of the Spirit reaches for higher consciousness, higher intelligence, greater beauty and goodness, and wants to evolve beyond the noble human savage.

Evolution is amoral, it shapes life from without and can be evolutionary or devolutionary. The Spirit Within which activates life is the zenith of human morality, It's goal is to ride the vehicle of life all the way to Godhood by way of upward evolution. Logic and reason essentially derived from instincts and were evolved because they were useful in survival and reproduction. The Spirit can guide us in our heroic journey to Godhood.
