Right, progress, and sacredness are on the side of evolution

Hegel placed “right” on the side of the victorious in history, which stood for progress. I think progress in evolution is the higher more sacred calling, since essentially we are evolving to Godhood. Then we can examine history through the eyes of our evolution toward higher forms.

Are the Ancient Greeks and the Apostles the highest types of men for all time in evolution? We don't need to harken only back to the Greeks or Jerusalem---even if philosophy and religion did this over the years---we can learn from past history but we need to look to future evolution. In the Twofold Path, the Outward Path of material and supermaterial evolution to Godhood supersedes but does not exclude the Inward Path of involution to the Father Within or the Truth within.

The idea that we are all fallen creatures, flawed and imperfect, is overcome not by thinking our flaws derive from having departed from “pure being,” which most religions believe---I don't see such a departure as having taken place, nor do I see Godhood as pure being, even when real Godhood is attained in material and supermaterial evolution. Godhood is attained in the process of ongoing evolution always reaching ever higher.

Men have dealt with the ugliness of the real world by trying to reconcile ugliness with their definition of a beautiful spotless God. Nietzsche's other early solution to this was to use art as a reprieve from the reality of creation and destruction---Dionysus embraced destruction as part of creation. Hegel saw progress in history as good and bad worked out dialectically. I see the evolution of life toward Godhood as the natural way out of our less than perfect selves. Evolution does not always make progress, backsliding occurs, which is not evil, but “right” is on the side of evolutionary progress. This is the main reason for our conscious involvement in the formerly unconscious process of evolution.  And "conservatism" in fact is necessary in evolution since most new things are not successful and need time to be worked out in orderly societies.

The social and political challenge is to develop some sort of estate style ethnopluralism, where every ethnic culture has its own kind of progress, with a variety of states, protected by some sort of federalism, which can include voluntary guidance in our evolution by national and international sociobiological research centers, as Raymond Cattell talked about.

This seems to be our future, should we survive until then. Right, progress, and sacredness are on the side of evolution.
