Why the radical Nietzschean and neopagan paths are not necessary
Christian tradition does not condemn
the desire to affirm ones country and ones ethnic culture. Even St.
Thomas Aquinas said we are to honor our kin and country, only in second place
to God.

The religious problem comes
when only the Inward Path experience of the God or Father Within is
affirmed, because the Inward Path requires rejecting and virtually
abandoning the natural laws of material desire, which Jesus centrally
advocated (and Buddha too). Universalism and equality are easier to
swallow when you care little or nothing for the material desires
of natural law and human nature, which is the necessary ascetic path to symbolically experience
the Inward God.
The religious and political solution
here comes when the Father Within of the Inward Path is seen as only
the first glimpse, the symbolic experience of real Godhood which is
reached in the Outward Path of material and supermaterial evolution.
Material desires refined by conscious evolution are in fact necessary
to reach Godhood in the Outward Path. But both Paths are retained in
the Twofold Path of theological materialism. Conservatism can remain
a viable philosophy.
This is why we do not require the
radical Nietzschean or the neopagan path to restore natural law and
real human nature. Real human nature remains as it has always been,
ethnocentric and group-selecting, among other traditional things, and this naturally, and rationally, leads to a political ethnopluralism, which can counter the modern liberal version of Christianity and
cultural Marxism, which have nearly destroyed the West.
One thing that can be done: the U. S.
Constitution with its separation of powers and states and protecting federalism could
accommodate ethnopluralism. Then with ethnopluralism affirmed
culturally and territorially we can get on with the most sacred
mission of conscious evolution toward real material/supermaterial
Godhood for all ethnic cultures and groups, which is a legitimate universalism.
This is how we conserve our nations and identities, and restore and
evolve Christianity, natural law, human nature and science, without
radical Nietzschean goalless power drives, or neopagan reversals.
