Speculating on future political and religious alliances


Evangelical Christianity in the U.S has been largely co-opted by the neoconservatives for their special causes. Edmund Burke and Russell Kirk have shown us that the old religions and civilizing institutions, which were built slowly over centuries, are not something you destroy in a vain attempt to begin the world over again---you can retain them but transform them. Many in the far right in the West have embraced or been co-opted by Alexander Dugin's Eurasian version of Traditionalism, which would seem to put Westerner's who follow him in the position of a fifth column for Dugin's dreams of destroying the West. Others in the far right have gone back to Paganism, but neither Paganism or traditional Christianity affirm the evolution to Godhood by way of material/supermaterial life. We recover our whole selves in the Twofold Path, where the Inward God of Christianity is transformed and fulfilled in the real Outward Godhood reached through material-supermaterial evolution. Evolution being central in theological materialism, the cosmos is seen as linear and historical, as the Christians see the world, but also cyclical and mythical, as Paganism suggests, although no cycle is exactly the same in our up and down but continual evolution toward Godhood.

But our political inclinations do not make us friends of the neoconservative cabal, who have inadvertently(?) strengthened the Eurasian-Islamic front due to neoconservative meddling in the affairs of Eurasia, the Middle-East, and so on. We would encourage economic nationalism in the United States, along the lines that Pat Buchanan advocates, and bring the empire home. But we approve of the ethnopluralism, ethnic states, and the light federalism of the French New Right, even though the New Right seems to have sympathy for Dugin's Eurasianism---and the New Right has hated the West for years, even though they are largely Western. I think the French could have better distinguished between the healthy West, and the people and groups living in the West who are destroying the West---such as the neoconservatives and global crony government capitalism. The U.S. Constitution with its separation of powers and states could one day accommodate ethnopluralism without a damaging radical revolution, especially as diverse ethnic groups in the U. S. become more hostile to one another---as they are now becoming in Europe---and might welcome their own ethnic cultures in their own territory, which relates far better to real human nature, in any case.

It is an uncomfortable fact that the Western traditional Catholics and the Orthodox who are against the Eurasianist movement contain in their traditions elements of Dugin's Traditionalism, as all Traditionalist's do. The development of the Twofold Path and theological materialism in the ECC addresses this by transforming the exclusively Inward Path of the God or the Father Within to real Godhood reached in material and supermaterial evolution. Materialism, progress, evolution, and science are not bad things in the ECC as they essentially are in Traditionalism, they are the vehicles by which we can evolve to the Godhood, which was only glimpsed symbolically in the ascetic Inward Paths of Traditionalism. Both the Eastern and Western occult versions of religion keep us blocked in the Inward Path to the God Within, and it is time to break out of that Great Spiritual Blockade. Some have claimed to unite the Eastern and Western religious traditions, but they tried to unite only the Inward Paths, and that was not nearly enough, both of these compete for the very same truncated Inward God, which is incomplete.

Personally I am a patriotic American, and the religious philosophy of the ECC, along with its political speculations on ethnopluralism, are in harmony with my patriotism. I believe the West needs to revive itself along these lines in a rebirth, so we can then get on with the business of evolving to Godhood---and the rest of the world can join us if they see fit.

I'll think further on this.
