Contrary to Nietzsche, Nature is not aimless

In the wild notes of his masterpiece, “The Will To Power,” Nietzsche thought that the idea of Nature was invented by Nature-enthusiasts with little knowledge of what he describes as the terrible, implacable and cynical elements of Nature. Nietzsche sees the Christian ideals as having been read into their notions of Nature. But then Nietzsche proceeds to read his own ideals into Nature as being terrible, implacable, cynical, and aimless. He writes of “the aim that seems to have crept into the evolution of man.”

But there is an aim in Nature seen in the evolution of life from the simple to the complex, from unconsciousness to consciousness, with stops and backward goings along the way. This indeed means reading aim into Nature, and I go one further, material and supermaterial life is evolving all the way to Godhood in the cosmos. This can also mean a revitalization of the revealed religions, which Nietzsche loathed. The aimless Will To Power is really the Spirit-Will-To-Godhood activating life inwardly, and shaped by outside evolution. The God or Father first seen inwardly is the Godhood reached outwardly in evolution...Science may one day back up the idea of a long term aim in Nature, and is already beginning to, for example, in the work of Francis Heylighen.
