Thoughts on classic functions of new myth/religion/philosophy


The “universal” is supplied by theological materialism and the life-activating material Spirit-Will, or Tirips. The “specific” is elaborated by the cultural-ethnic-environment in which the universal proceeds.

Cultures take on specific shapes related to their environments and the ethnic/racial traits of the citizens which forms a “style” of consciousness as well as the forms of art, architecture etc. But all cultures are activated by the universal, that is, theological materialism and Tirips, with the same goal of evolving to Godhood in the cosmos.

The political or practical ramifications of this myth-religion/philosophy suggests small states or ethnostates to accommodate kin and ethnic centered  human nature and nature itself, protected internally by the citizens and externally by a defensive federalism, and guided by science, religion and the universal goals of theological materialism in the evolution of life to Godhood in the cosmos. The artistic ramifications lead to the affirmation of the sacred myth-religion/philosophy through popular and high art.

This supplies the classic functions of myth/religion/philosophy as defined by the mythologists (eg. Jung, Eliade, Campbell), that is, a sacred religion of evolution to Godhood in the cosmos, sacred new/old images in relation to our time and place, the creation and bonding of values and morals, and helping us to live our daily lives.
