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.
