The Outward Path of the hero and heroine in evolution is the next biological and cultural religious impulse


In essence, the love of tradition is the love of human nature. The science of sociobiology is more realistic and objective than religion in defining human nature, although their definitions of human nature are quite similar in seeing human nature as being kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, and religious-making, among other things, with group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection---although most religions swerve away from the ethnocentric and even xenophobic reality of human nature, perhaps due to a need of universalism.

Nietzsche thought that Christianity (and traditional religions) were mostly concerned with the production of the saint by way of the ascetic Inward Path. I believe that the Outward Path of the hero and heroine in evolution is the next biological and cultural religious impulse. This time the path is devoted to evolving in the material world to supermaterial Godhood. But the Outward Path of the hero and heroine conservatively does not reject the Inward Path of the production of the saint, the Outward Path of is just the next stage or transformation of religion---both are included in the Twofold Path to Godhood.

The pursuit of “progress” does not lead to despair, as the traditionalists tend to think; progress bonded to biological evolution is bonded to that which creates cultures and religions, due to the basic biological origin of social behavior, which seeks the highest success in survival by way of ever ascending levels of Godhood.
