Inside and Outside Forces of Life

“Evolution comes from within, to actualize the lifes potential, and evolution comes from without, as adaptation to the external environment.” Richard Mcculloch

Is the power coming from inside life superior to the influence of the outside environment or to evolution? They work together. But the constant here in any environment is the Will to Godhood, or the Spirit-Will within life, which essentially defines “life.” Evolution from the outside shapes the activation of life from within although not always in an upward direction, depending on the environment.

We can help the Spirit-Will in attaining its divine goal of activating life to evolve to Godhood by influencing our evolution toward higher and higher intelligence, beauty and good character, the zenith of which is Godhood.

The modern world seems mostly anti-evolution---accept in technology---and not pro-evolution. Science refuses to see any activation from within yet alone a divine destiny to life. The evolution of man has been enfeebled, to use an old word, which is a serious degeneration when the goal of evolution is Godhood. To change an idea of Nietzsche's (from Aristotle?), virtue is having the capacity to evolve and then doing so and not turning away from the natural capacity. A healthy culture will do this, an unhealthy culture will not.
