Future evolutionary values
The means have been misunderstood as the
object, and definitions or symbols are also misunderstood as the
object. This is a problem with religion and philosophy: God or Being are not seen as real,
living, material or supermaterial objects, but as non-material
definitions and symbols, or blissful inward experiences, or a means
only of explaining life.
We require a scale of values
constructed according to an order of values representing real
evolution. That is, evolution toward a physiological,
material/supermaterial Godhood at the zenith of evolution. The ascent
in evolution represents an increase in value, the descent a
diminution or decline in value. The central dynamic is not first an
increase in consciousness, pleasure, survival or power, but is the
advance of evolution toward supermaterial Godhood, which contains
these characteristics as secondary to the central activation of
evolution.
Contrary to Nietzsche and his
postmodern followers, there is a goal to power, consciousness and
evolution, life is evolving toward material/supermaterial Godhood.
And this need not lead to exclusivity or old imperialism since the mission of the evolutionary values defines all groups as
evolving toward Godhood in their own particular ways in their own
territories, helped along by international research centers, ethnopluralism and various forms of federalism.
What values are big
enough for the future? We have lost the value of living
objects in religion and in philosophy. Theological materialism brings Godhood back to
the reality of living objects and evolution, without rejecting the
old symbols, but by putting them in their secondary and reactive place
in the Inward Path, and by applying the Outward Path of evolution toward
Godhood.
