On Freedom and Determinism


Freedom matters and is important but it is not what matters most, evolving toward Godhood matters most in life. Man's mind and life are not totally free of any law, natural life is essentially activated by the material Spirit-Will which seeks Godhood in evolving nature, and this is defined as objective truth. It does matter what religion and philosophy we have, this is not a relative choice, we need to have the religion and philosophy which moves us toward evolving to real Godhood, and not just an inward mirror or experience  of God as the Father Within.

In this sense, I can agree with Kant who claims the truth of his moral ideas for men of all times and places. This does not mean that Western thought is not alien to other cultures or vice versus, understanding between different cultures and ethnic groups is very difficult. But these secondary differences simply tell us about the natural variety and separation of people and states, which human nature and evolution works best with in any case.

Evolution is an unshakable truth, but so is the religious essence of evolution, which has the end-goal of evolving to Godhood. Here there is something constant, and universal, not because we want it to be so, but because it is so in nature.

We are driven and determined by the Spirit-Will-To-Godhood within the world, which seeks to activate life to Godhood, and life is then shaped by natural evolution. But we do have some freedom or choice in whether we follow the Spirit-Will or not. Intelligence and reason have something to do with life getting in harmony with the Will-To-Godhood, but it also first seems to require an intellectual intuition to affirm the instinct of the Spirit-Will.
