The Full Use of Nature, Human History, and Tradition
T. S. Elliot's “tradition” was the
full knowledge and use of history, “provincial” was not using
longer-term history. This needs to be taken further to say that
tradition is the full and sacred use of nature. One hears the voice of nature awakening in the religion of the the Theoevolutionary Church (TC).
Religion has slighted nature, at least
since the Revealed Religions arose, religion has even blocked out
nature in the higher initiates. Science rushed in to fill the gap.
The TC brings nature back to religion after being buried in the
Great Spiritual Blockade. The Twofold Path can be called “classical”
in the sense that classicism is balance between “opposing”
forces, unity in duality. The Involutionary Inward Path of religion is synthesized
with the Evolutionary Outward Path of nature.
This is a healthier remedy for
balancing culture (Apollo and Dionysus) than Nietzsche's rebirth of
tragedy through the apotheoses of lone supermen, which was a worthy
but desperate attempt to avoid the nihilism of relativity with hyperindivualism, and having
no religion. The TC brings balance back to religion rather than
rejecting religion, which defines Revitalized Conservatism.
The choice is more accurately defined
as between evolution (Outward Path) and involution (Inward Path) than between "'good and evil." The material world is no longer seen as evil but as
the essential vehicle to evolve to Godhood. The Spirit-Will To Godhood is affirmed which
activates life to Godhood, shaped by evolution.
Nature and culture, science and
religion, can be balanced, when the Father Within of the Inward Path
is seen as the Godhood evolved to in the Outward Path. This is the full use of nature and history.
