We want to civilize the beast, not kill it

“Instincts” are often thought of as uniformly bad in civilized societies in comparison to the control of the Neo-cortex. Even psychology has tended to paint the instincts, the Id, with one dark brush, not unlike religions often did.

Certainly we want to rid our societies of dangerous psychopaths, with their lack of a conscience and their unchecked instincts. But we don't want to block out the most sacred instinct of the Spirit-Will-To Godhood, which essentially defines the dynamic of life itself. That is what we retain of the beast.

Indeed, we can't eject this out of our beings, we can only block it--with great ascetic discipline--as the Inward Paths of the great religions advocated, in order to get a glimpse of the God-Within, or the Father-Within.

The Twofold Path does not want to reject the God-Within of the Involutionary Inward Path, which leads to the desire-free Soul. The Twofold Path includes the Inward Path as having been the first glimpse humanity had of the Godhood which can be reached in the Evolutionary Outward Path.  The sacred instinct to Godhood of the Spirit-Will activates life, and then life is shaped by evolution.  We want to civilize the beast, not kill it.
