The morality that is contrary to Nature, necessary in the ascetic discipline of reaching the God Within or the Father Within, as seen in Christianity and the great religions, and as examined in the great psychological studies of Frederich Nietzsche, needs to be seen in relation to the Twofold Path of theological materialism. Rather than affirming only the Involuntary Inward Path to the Father Within, or utterly rejecting it as anti-life, as Nietzsche did, the Inward Path needs to be transformed in the Evolutionary Outward Path, retaining, not rejecting, the Father Within, but seeing the Father Within as the symbolic-experience of the Godhood reached in the Outward Path of material and supermaterial evolution to Godhood in the cosmos.
With this transformation the wisdom of conserving the past, of conservatism, can finally harmonize with the present and future. The anti-life morality necessary in the ascetic discipline of reaching the Father Within by ridding the body of material desires, can be redeemed in the pro-life evolution of Nature toward real Godhood in the cosmos, the God first seen only inwardly. Science can join religion, the spiritual can join the material. Could Nietzsche have made this transformation toward accepting what he bitterly rejected? Can modern atheists and scientists make this transformation? Can traditional religion make this transformation? Are they religiously, philosophically, psychologically and physically magnanimous enough? Life on earth, and future life, and ultimately Godhood may depend on the answer.
