Change and Conservatism
The Revitalized Conservatism I write
about is based in the concept that we are evolving to Godhood, which
certainly defines change, but we are doing so within conservative
structures which provide the best foundation for Ordered Evolution.
We have always survived and evolved best in familiar surroundings
among homogenous people who are loyal and patriotic regarding their
local environments.
This is somewhat different from Edmund Burke's modern conservatism, or Irving Kristol's neoconservatism.
Religion makes sacred the moral and ethical standards which also tend
to help us survive and reproduce more successfully. This is the
insight of the new/old science of sociobiology.
The religion of the Theoevolutionary Church affirms the Spirit-Will To Godhood which activates
life to evolve to Godhood. But it retains the traditional Inward Path of the Revealed Regions, which puts us in the camp of conservatism. This gives a new
foundation to understanding change and conservatism.
It is the Twofold Path of Involution
and Evolution that provide the basic religious foundation for uniting change
and conservatism. The God seen in the Inward Path of traditional religion
is the Godhood reached in the Outward Path of evolution to
Godhood.
