Meritocracy in the face of resentment and non-action

Nietzsche seems to have missed the importance of the non-action element in Christianity, whereas he saw it in Buddhism. The “resentment” Nietzsche saw in Christianity of the low against the high was largely St. Paul's work. Christ, like Buddha, was against resentment because resentment leads to action. The psychological challenge for St. Paul was to actively build a religion that was essentially against action, and so the resentment of the low against the high was applied. The demagogues of socialism use the same resentment of the lowly against those in high places. Let quixotic founders of religion be warned (a large group what?), the structure of your work is often used only as a slight reference by your followers when they build their lumbering superstructures.

It is the task of meritocracy not to let the demagogues live off resentment and non-action. Societies which can somehow enhance their best even with the natural resentment of human nature toward hierarchy and territoriality are going to be healthy and advance the most. People tend to like the fair play of meritocracy if it is pointed out to them, continually, in postive ways. People really don't like it when the less deserving are promoted over the more deserving. The problem here is that socialism and modern liberalism derive originally from imitating the values of the Involutionary Inward Path of the great religions, with their exclusive concentration on the Inward Path to the Father Within, the God Within, arrived at through ascetically blocking the natural desires of material life. This is where the Twofold Path can enhance life, meritocracy and evolution. The Father Within is seen as the symbolic-experience of real Godhood reached through material and super-material evolution. In the Evolutionary Outward Path resentment of the lowly against those in high places and the banishment of action do not apply, here meritocracy has a chance once again---and without meritocracy we may not reach Godhood.
