The unfolding of a single thought

Schopenhauer said that his philosophy was the unfolding of a single thought. Theological materialism also unfolds a single thought, but it is the opposite of not only Schopenhauer but opposite many of the religious ascetics.

There is divine purpose inherent in life, which Schopenhauer denied, and it is a purpose very much connected to the material and supermaterial world. "Life" is activated to evolve in the material world of joy and suffering toward Godhood, which is a thoroughly optimistic single thought.

The drive, will, spirit, or activation within life, which I call Tirips, is material, not spiritual, and it defines the essence of life as seeking the zenith of success in survival and reproduction, or Godhood.

This activation of life is not an "evil" Id, we can be conscious or unconscious of it. It is more like a Super-Id seeking to activate life toward Godhood, which we can either help or hinder.

Humans see anthropomorphic endings and beginnings, but we do not have an elevated status in nature, however we can evolve toward higher beings within the structures and strictures of outside natural evolution. It is an endless evolution toward higher and higher Godhoods.

Human civilizations and cultures project from this single idea of life evolving toward Godhood, which organizes not only life but the whole universe.
