Misrepresented Instincts


The instincts have been too often misrepresented as only uncontrollable and evil, it has been thought that to act instinctively is not to act rationally, the instincts have been thought of as barbaric. But to follow the call of the Spirit-Will, or the Will-To-Godhood, is to follow the Zenith of the Instincts.

The superego does not hold the instincts, or Id, in check, as Freud and others have suggested, the ego and superego,with their realism and idealism, make the choice between profane and sacred instincts, with the profane being devolutionary and the sacred being evolutionary.

Evolution confirms the internal commands of the instincts, and most importantly, attends the activating commands of the Spirit-Will, or Will-To-Godhood. This can involve reason as an aid to instinct and instinct as an aid to reason. To follow the moral call of the Spirit-Will, which seeks to evolve to Godhood, is a great moral act.
