The inward life does not seem to work
so well with the outward life in the great religions and in the great
psychologies, the exciting inward life of St. Thomas Aquinas or Carl Jung is
often at odds with the less exciting outward life.
This is not necessarily so with the
Spirit-Will-To-Godhood in the philosophy of the Theoevolutionary Church. Here the inward activating Spirit-Will requires
outward material life to evolve to Godhood.
This suggests not the volcano of
repression over the inner sexual self of Freud, but harmony and
rhythm with the flow of natural life. It is not merely the sexual
libido that seeks to break free into full expression, it is more
deeply the Spirit-Will-To-Godhood.
Modernity isn't the main problem, as
Traditionalism always suggests, it is disharmony and discord in the
basic instincts. The fullness of human nature need not be repressed
or suppressed as it often is in sentimental modern liberalism. Real
nature, and human nature, prefers truth, beauty and merit, and
sublimating human nature toward these virtues can be more harmonious.
With the Spirit-Will affirmed there is
less inner/outer conflict, yet there is sublimation of the
human forces of sex, aggression and compassion, because the
Spirit-Will has a definite goal to which material life needs to be
guided or sublimated, which ultimately is Godhood.
This sublimation takes the form of
voluntary, non-coercive, culture-genetic selection in reproduction,
in Ordered Evolution, directed toward Godhood, which is at the zenith
of truth, beauty and merit. This culture-genetic dynamic can lead to
real and more natural psychological maturity and fill the spiritual emptiness and
rootlessness of modern life.
