Keeping the evolutionary faith while avoiding totalitarianism and gnostic-idealism

Eric Voegelin worried about political Gnosticism, and Russell Kirk was concerned with political idealism, both men were worried about how these led to totalitarianism and revolution. Carl Jung eventually more or less rejected the political for mythological gnosticism (see Robert Ellwood, “The Politics of Myth") and thought that the political should only protect the more important practice of self-examination and self-enlightenment. The Traditionalist School retained both political and mythological Gnosticism. The Conservative response was that mankind is sinful and unperfectable and therefore we should retain modest order and freedom, and avoid gnostic, idealistic, totalitarian saviors. 

All were somewhat right and somewhat wrong. The Theoevolutionary Churchholds to the roots of the great religions while affirming the flowering of the evolutionary religious synthesis.  Ordered Evolution is the key.  Revitalized Conservatism applies to both religion and politics. We are not only seeking a way out of the world by exclusively following the Inward Path, we are also seeking a way into the world in the Outward Path. Salvation can be seen as both inward and outward. The mirror of God is seen in the Involutionary Inward Path, and Real Godhood is reached in the Evolutionary Outward Path.

We do not condemn half the world to make the other half happy, as Marxism and Fascism did, and as crony Capitalism is now doing. We are all evolving to Godhood, and given the group selection of basic human nature, we can do this best and most practically in small states, which tend to become virtual ethnostates, with all protected by light federalism, and guided by religion. The state can do not much better than to protect the freedom of evolution in all its variety. Religion and science can guide evolution, but voluntarily. Ordered Evolution is how we proceed, evolution not revolution is the conservative pattern. This is how we keep the evolutionary faith while avoiding totalitarianism and gnostic-idealism.
