Toward a more natural sacred sublimation of the instincts

Social psychologist Raymond Cattell (and Freud before him) pointed out that the frustrations of the natural instincts (ergs, genetic propensities) to attain food, sex, raising young, defense, order, etc can bring about both aggression and creativity. The enforced blocking of the natural instincts brings forth the sublimations of pugnacity and aggression, or such creative sublimations as art and religion.

Learning usually begins with failure of an existing approach, and the Revealed Religions, as well as secular philosophy, are failing to save the earth, or save mankind, even having the ideals to do so. Thus we see militancy in religion and politics, but not much creativity. My religious-philosophical worldview seeks to bring religion and culture more in line with the natural instincts in creative rather than aggressive sublimation.

The material world needs to be released form the unnatural bondage of the Great Spiritual Blockade against evolving to Godhood in the cosmos. Seeking only the God-Within was not enough and has frustrated the natural and sacred instinct to evolve to Godhood. We need the Twofold Path of the Theoevolutionary Church.
