Social problems from unreal abstractions
Conservative Christians define such
modern liberal mistakes as sexual freedom and gender sameness as
negative and unreal abstractions, but then they go on to affirm the
even bigger abstraction of spirituality claiming that
abstraction can make us all love one another. It has not worked. The
latest street disruptions between black and white seem even more full
of hatred than the “love-ins “ of the 1960's which nearly tore
our country apart.
Real respect for others needs to take
into account what human nature actually is. Human beings remain kin
centered and group or ethnic centered and real respect comes from
allowing distinct people to live and worship in their own distinct
ways, and not jammed together in the same abstract multicultural
space. This logically and emotionally suggests an ethnopluralism of
ethnostates, well protected by a federalism limiting
itself to that protection.
We could actually do this legally due
to the constitutional separation of powers and states, even if a few
amendments to the Constitution are necessary. It is certainly worth
the effort since the alternative seems to be increasing civil
disruptions, civil war and the fall of the West.
Worshiping together has not been enough
to bond and harmonize “multicultural” societies. Religious and
political problems always go back to abstractions and ideologies with
little or no basis in reality. But absurd as it sounds we can retain
bonds of religion, Godhood, and political philosophy without unreal
abstractions. The great spiritual blockade of
material life and material evolution was promoted mainly for the sake
of experiencing the inward God or the Father Within. That Inward Path can be retained but transformed in the Outward Path to the real Godhood reached through material evolution, grounded in the concrete reality of real nature, real human
nature, and real evolution, which requires variety, separation, and
differences, as we all evolve toward Godhood.
