Unblocking The Sacred Erg

The instinct or erg which is frustrated in our present culture is the sacred instinct of the Spirit-Will-To-Godhood that activates life, which is then shaped by natural evolution. This is the instinct which most causes---usually unconsciously---our need for religion or our fascination with the mystical or supernatural. The religious/scientific and cultural task is to unblock and better understand this instinct so that we can get on with evolving to Godhood, which is the sacred goal of the instinct.

Once unblocked this sacred instinct can lead us to adapting something like Cattell's Beyondist hope of having a UNESCO type international religious/scientific center for sociobiologically informed decisions about our evolution toward Godhood, which can be applied in democratic republics or with whatever type political system there is, with a free exchange of ideas between different regions, states and nations, and with a mutual interest in maintaining their differences and variety as we evolve.

This is a religious mission with Godhood as the goal, but we are not now able to see too far into the future, so we will need the spirit of scientific discovery and adventure, grounded in religion, as we evolve toward higher intelligence and character.
