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.
