Less spiritual frustration
There is less indirect sublimation of
the instincts (ergic drives) in the Theoevolutionary Church
(TC) than in other religions, because the Spirit-Will is seen as the
Zenith of the Instincts. This sacred instinct needs to be allowed to
come forward rather than blocked---any sublimation comes in the form
of consciously moving toward evolution rather than devolution.
As Cattell and others pointed out, when
basic instincts are frustrated people have different reactions, some
with violence, some with creativity, some with mental illness,
depending on the culture and the individual.
Material life and spiritual life are
not at odds when material life is seen as the vehicle for evolving to
Godhood. In the Twofold Path this means movement toward the Outward
Path of evolution, and away from the exclusive concentration on
involution in the Inward Path of the mystical traditions, while still
retaining their insights.
The healthier advantage in the TC is
being able to apply creativity in both science and religion toward
our evolution to Godhood, with less spiritual frustration.
