What is the next great sacred mythic theme for the next great civilization?
I believe the next great sacred mythic
theme for the next great civilization is the evolution of material
life to supermaterial Godhood which will require the cooperation of
a long-term culture and civilization.
This is the material/supermaterial
Godhood of material life and evolution, this is not the spiritual
non-material idea or ascetic experience of God. That first
gnostic/religious glimpse of God can be retained but transformed in
theological materialism. A great art and great culture, a great total
civilization can rise out of this religious/scientific, sacred,
mythic worldview, worthy of man and future man. The great Christian and scientific
Western ethos can be synthesized with the sacred goal of life
evolving in the material world on earth and out in to the cosmos
toward supermaterial Godhood.
This sacred materialism is a world
theme but it is also a deeply Western theme, and the defense of the
West remains a principle concern. The East, led by Russia, has for
the present, sunk back into the Traditionalist School which basically
hates materialism, aggressively hates the West, hates science, but nevertheless seeks another form of orthodox imperialism. That is not a healthy
theme for future man or future civilization, and it will not bring us
to real Godhood.
