Sociobiological Aims of the Theoevolutionary Church


If we are to ever evolve outwardly to the Godhood first glimpsed in the Inward Path of the great religions, which saw God or the Father within, we need to continue to move beyond fear and taboo regarding genetic and cultural evolution.

The following aims were first suggested about forty years ago in Raymond Cattell's "Beyondism." We accept the far-sighted general ethos of these aims, but have made a few important changes.

The TC affirms a genetic and cultural character for each group, each small state, each ethnostate. Variety in evolution is vital.

A central purpose is survival, for all states, and toward this end offering voluntary genetic, cultural and religious advice for the particular conditions of each group, always ready to change with new scientific, cultural or religious knowledge.

Not a complete break with the older systems of religion, the Outward Path of our evolution to Godhood is synthesized with the Inward Path to the Father Within of traditional religions, in the Twofold Path.

The voluntary adaptation of the genetic pool to the religious-cultural goal of evolving to Godhood for all groups.

Always affirming the adventurous creation of new genetic and cultural variations which may advance the cultural-genetic upward direction of evolution.

To monitor and assist the voluntary genetic and religious evolution of all groups with church sociobiological research centers.

To maintain competition between groups, but within cooperative federations, knowing that blocking competition with hedonistic pacts of no competition between people creates stagnation and also blocks creative new changes.

These evolutionary religious aims can apply to any people and to almost any political system, but perhaps work best where a light federalism protects the independence of small states.

This is a religion for the future, while including the past.  This is change brought about with Ordered Evolution, consciously avoiding revolution.  This is the realistic and long term survival path forward out of the relativistic and nihilistic modern world.
