Have our Gods failed us?

Have our Gods failed us? I think we can say that our priests and philosophers have failed us in their definitions and interpretations of Godhood. They demeaned the material world by defining God as non-material and spiritual.

Many priests and philosophers retired from the world and attempted to rid their bodies of all material desires to experience a non-material spiritual God within. But that experience was a blissful peak material experience as the result of the extreme privation of the body, and was not God.

Godhood requires the material world because we materially evolve to ascending levels of Godhood. Evolution moves 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, all the way to Godhood.

So our Gods and priests have failed us. We are now dying faster than being born and we have biologically and culturally diseased societies. We need to recognize real Godhood and get on with the primal mission of materially and super-materially evolving to ascending levels of real Godhood.

We can learn to prevent the decline and early death of a variety of people, ethnic groups, and societies by understanding the social and biological patterns that bring collapse (see Cattell's “Beyondism”), and by applying voluntary population control and genetics. We can help prevent negative ends, but we can also seek positive ends, even as we recognize that competition, separation, and distinctiveness are a good thing on the evolutionary path to Godhood.
