“Divine constraint?” That would be
following the laws of nature as closely as we can discern them, and
we would have freedom within that determinism. Natural laws provide
rules for the actions of men. The question is, what are the laws of
nature and how do they apply to human nature, religion and
philosophy?
We can start by acknowledging the
biological origin of much of cultural behavior, which has been
studied closely at least since the time of Charles Darwin one hundred years
ago, leading up to the Neo-Darwinism of the brilliant E. O. Wilson
who developed sociobiology.
The “constraints” of the laws of
nature on human nature across all cultures in the world even today
have included: being kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded,
heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even
xenophobic, and religious-making, among other things, with
group-selection as the primary unit of selection. This does not
indicate a “good spirit” versus a “bad spirit,” it is a natural restraint in harmony with nature, versus a profane
dissolution caused by tying to move away from what we really are.
Affirming the laws of human nature can
bring real life back into the intellectual world, unblocking the
Great Spiritual Blockade against our material evolution to
supermaterial Godhood. The living object can once again be primary
over the secondary Vedic and Platonic mere definitions of sacred things.
The sacred is not separate from the creative powers of the natural
world. There is no creation from nothing, there is only the
continuous transformations of evolution.
This view of the laws of nature and
human nature applies to the fields of religion, philosophy and science.
And this gives deep significance to such things, for example, as the
bio-political separations of ethnopluralism, which are most in harmony with
the laws of nature and human nature, certainly far more so than the corrupt cultural Marxism and border-less global capitalism of today.
