The materialization of the spirit in our evolution toward Godhood

The powerful effect of recognizing the activation of material evolution steadily moving toward higher consciousness and complexity, with stops and sideways-going along the way from environmental natural selection, while always moving toward the zenith of success in survival and reproduction, and leading logically and instinctively toward Godhood, means that we need worry less about sublimating or "spiritualizing" the instincts because the very base or foundation of the instincts seeks Godhood.

This does not mean that unreasoning or ignorance advance, and it doesn't mean that we don't need to be an aid our evolution toward Godhood; it means we can untangle ourselves from the blockade of over-intellualization and pedantry, and from the ascetic blockade of all material desires. We can apply the sophisticated evolutionary sciences and the rational but still harmonious material sublimation of the instincts as aids in our upward evolution.

I see evolution moving inevitably in a pattern, even though it has its random elements, and the pattern has a discernible direction, in spite of instances of stagnation and retreat, toward “higher and higher more effective living forms,”as Cattell put it. The goal of evolving to Godhood need not deprive us of either science or religion. Defining life as internally and materially activated (Tirips) toward evolving to higher and higher forms and eventually to Godhood, shaped by natural outside evolution, may be a bit further than some want to go, but I think such a drive and direction needs to be acknowledged by science and religion.

What this is is the materialization of the "spirit" (Tirips) in our evolution toward Godhood. That is also the deeper meaning of the term Civilizing the Beast---and the "beast" is not Satan, though some have sanctimoniously confounded it, and me, as that (what a dove-like way to make a guy feel wanted.)
