Reviving teleological purposes
I agree with Nietzsche that the inner
activation of life is a more important dynamic in evolution than the
environment, but I think the inner activation is more than the
“will-to-power." There is a goal, a sacred destination, beyond
strength (Nietzsche) or utility (Darwin.)
Happiness and hunger are part of
a deeper instinctive process which only uses these things to aid in
the goal of evolving toward Godhood. Even success in survival and
reproduction are a secondary result of the activation (the
Spirit-Will-to-Godhood) toward Godhood.
Why does a thing want to survive
successfully? The deeper purpose is not mentioned, if we can't
measure it we won't consider it. Teleological purposes are buried. It
is the development toward Godhood that is the real “progress.”
Godhood by way of evolution is the God
we have been trying to define for millenniums, it is a transformed
version of the inward God of traditional religion, which is
conservatively retained but transformed in the Twofold Path.
