In order to enter the future we need to bring religion and culture back to real human nature
Our
task is as big as Nietzsche's task, but more religious and
conservative. In order to enter the future we need to return to the
distant past where the human nature we have today was developed and
evolved. We have to go back to before the great religions and
philosophies were developed, back to hunter-gatherer times thousands
of years ago, and learn about ourselves from those times.
Darwin and sociobiology
defeated the “tabula rasa” hypothesis but you wouldn't know it
from the affectations of modern culture. Our human nature today is a
collection of genetic and mental patterns developed during
hunter-gatherer times and our cultures are the product of that same human
nature adapting to the environment. Our real human nature is defined
by such things as gender differences, age-grading, marriage-making,
hierarchy, ethnocentrism, religion-making, group-selection, and all
of these traits are blocked or rejected by our pretentious modern
culture.
But the origin of our culture lies even deeper within the
morals and values of the great religions which developed the
Involutionary Inward Path seeking the God Within. The Father
Within is reached by blocking or stopping the drives of human
nature and evolution. The central thrust of our task is to turn
religion and philosophy back to real human nature and to open up the
great spiritual blockade of morals and values which have devalued,
blocked and nearly killed real human nature and culture.
The
Involutionary Inward Path needs to be transformed in the Evolutionary Outward Path,
the Father Within is “only” the symbolic blissful experience of
what Godhood will be like when Godhood is reached by evolving in the
material and supermaterial world to Godhood. This exhumes the
material world and revives human nature and culture.
We
do not murder God and religion as Nietzsche tried to do when he saw some of the
same serious cultural and biological problems we see. The religious
philosophy of theological materialism renews religion and culture, as
the Evolutionary Christian Church and the Twofold Path make sacred our evolution on earth
and out into the cosmos toward real Godhood.
