In “evolutionary therapy” the psychologist/priest would need to mediate a deal or balance between Tirips and the mind and society which we can live with. “Befriending” Tirips may be a task which could involve politically incorrect insights since human evolution remains an almost taboo subject. Egotistical human life and modern values may seem limited in the face of the long evolution to Godhood, beyond man, beyond superman, beyond angels, all the way to ascending levels of Godhood.
When Tirips is blocked it turns away from its central path and that makes for unhealthy people and unhealthy societies, and the psychologist/priest “art” is to help “release” Tirips into the energy of the person and society, making the energy of Tirips available for the individual and for society---like the martial arts, we can learn to use or turn the powerful force of the activation of Tirips away from hurting ourselves toward helping ourselves, and helping our societies evolve.
Meanwhile the mind maintains its task to intelligently help guide or “ride the tiger” of Tirips. We need to befriend the unconscious Tirips which activates the body and we need to correctly define Tirips and its direction. The great goal of Tirips is the goal that lies beyond us, at the zenith of evolution, and the psyche needs to be balanced in that direction.
“The striving for significance, this sense of yearning, always points out to us that all psychological phenomena contain a movement that starts from a feeling of inferiority and reach upward. The theory of Individual Psychology of psychological compensation states that the stronger the feeling of inferiority, the higher the goal for personal power.” (Alfred Adler)
That quote by Alfred Adler is not only an interesting quote, but Adler was an interesting psychologist. Adler (who freely acknowledged Nietzsche) postulated a single drive, which we would transpose in evolutionary therapy as Tirips or the Will to Godhood within material life, the activating force behind evolution and the cosmos, the most important force in individual psychology. This “striving for perfection” is the activating Will to Godhood in material evolution, which works along with the ups and downs of natural selection and evolution.
Rather than the “will to meaning” of Dr Viktor Frankl, or the “will to pleasure” (pleasure principle) of Freud, or the “will to power” of Nietzsche (as well as in Adlerian psychology), we may say that the primary motivational force within man and the cosmos is the evolutionary material will to Godhood, or Tirips.
The interesting psychology comes in relating this primary drive socially as well as individually. All men, all groups have this drive to perfection, but how do we integrate them? Our answer, unlike Adler's world socialism, is the ordered evolution of evolutionary conservatism, which can lead toward an ethnopluralism of ethnostates in harmony with real kin and ethnic centered human nature,
Here is another Adler quote: “God...is the most brilliant manifestation of the goal of perfection.” That is affirmed in our material evolution to Godhood.
