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.
