Religion and evolutionary conservatism
Most
philosophers if affirming theological materialism would probably
reject the old Inward Path to the symbolic or spiritual God or
Father-Within as an inaccurate and unrealistic block on the material
evolution to real supermaterial Godhood in the evolutionary Outward
Path. Indeed, to attain the peak experience of the God Within, which
is a blissful experience, ascetics turn their backs on material life
entirely and specifically block reproduction with celibacy, which
blocks the natural method of evolutionary reproduction toward
Godhood.
My respect for the
conservative and traditionalist philosophy is indicated by the
Twofold Path retaining
the old Inward Path to the symbolic God or Father-Within even though it
is transformed in the Evolutionary Outward Path of material evolution
to supermaterial Godhood. The
Twofold Path
synthesizes
traditional religious philosophy with the great Darwinian book of
nature and evolution.
We
need to conserve
the best that evolves even as we continue to evolve toward ascending
levels of Godhood and toward supreme intelligence, beauty, and
goodness. Change using steady pressure and not revolution is the
conservative way to evolve, in same way we evolved three brains, one
evolved upon the other---the reptilian and the mammalian brains
were retained even as we evolved the higher neocortex. That describes evolutionary conservatism in religion.
