Recovering The Instincts As Sacred
Conservatives often misjudge the
instincts, or inherited behavioral patterns. Both liberals and
conservatives misdefine the instincts as Dionysian, as disordered and
frenzied. But the instincts are family-oriented, kin-centered,
patriotic, and driven by the needs of successful survival and
reproduction (see sociobiology).
The instincts are even sacred, in that
reproduction, the sex and family drive, is in essence the drive of
life to evolve to eternal survival in Godhood, activated by the
Spirit-Will.
The instincts are often blocked in
conservatism due to centering on the God-Within of the Inward Path, which is reached by blocking or stopping the material instincts.
This is legitimate but incomplete religion.
Religion needs to affirm not only the
Inward Path to the God-Within but also the Outward Path of evolution
to supermaterial Godhood in the cosmos. This is the Twofold Path of the Theoevolutionary Church.
