The essential and the particular in religion


I don't merely reduce all religions down to a sacred time or a sacred place, or to universal archetypes, although I affirm those things, I do "reduce" religion down to a universal sociobiology, along with the activation of the Spirit-Will-To-Godhood, with the sacred goal of evolving to Godhood in natural evolution. This biological or superbiological base runs through all religions and cultures.

The “particularism” within this universalism comes by way of the variety of life, the variety of people, species, subspecies, each in their own environments, and all evolving in their own fashions. Present academic objections coming from the “postcolonial” particularism crowd to the “imperialism” of any universal perspective is simply wrong. Universal biology trumps the particular culture even though they work together in evolution. And the Spirit-Will which activates life in general is the deepest base of universalism, although science has not acknowledged it.

This all leads to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates as the most rational and instinctively true political from for a variety of humans.
