The Divine Goal of Heredity

Teilhard De Chardin defined “orthogenesis,” the principle of purpose, as the only complete form of heredity. I see the Spirit-Will as a supermaterial form of heredity which is received through reproduction and survival and is the activating instinct of matter. The Spirit-Will is teleological, Its purpose is to attain Godhood by way of evolution, activating matter as its vehicle to Godhood. This means that Godhood is the divine and ultimate goal of our heredity.

The Spirit-Will is an implicit supermaterial force (not merely “psychic or immaterial), yet to be defined explicitly by science, but it will be. The Spirit-Will works with natural selection at any level, evolution then shapes matter. Life has evolved in stages moving upward in complication, consciousness and intelligence, as well as sideways and backward, and it will continue to do so, as long as life survives, all the way to Godhood, and then in the next Kosmos.
