How to avoid Nietzsche's radicalism and affirm materialism in religion
Nietzsche was too radical, he jumped
from the traditional spiritualism and celibacy of religion to the
affirmation of amoral material desire, especially with his goalless
will-to-power. Such a radical jump can be considered unrealistic when
one absorbs the more realistic evolutionary rather than revolutionary
ideas of change in conservatives like Burke and Kirk.
Philosophical or ascetic priests tried
to bring about a Great Spiritual Blockade of material desires, which
was designed to aid in the ascetic experience of the God or Father
Within. This did not work well among the population, it worked best
in monasteries ( although it also led to homosexuality among the
priests.) So the “sins” of materialism remained, as they well
might.
The Twofold Path is the less radical
more evolutionary approach to religion, the Involutionary Inward Path
to the God Within is retained as the first glimpse or human experience of God but it is now transformed by affirming and not blocking the material
desires of evolution which lead toward real Godhood in the Evolutionary
Outward Path.
Material desires are not defined as
the “free,” radical, amorality of Nietzsche's goalless
will-to-power, material desires are subsumed in the evolutionary ethics of material and supermaterial evolution leading toward Godhood in the
Evolutionary Outward Path.
