Culture's take on specific
shapes related to their environments and the ethnic/racial traits of
the citizens which forms a “style” of consciousness as well as
the forms of art, architecture etc. But in theological materialism all cultures are activated by
the universal, as seen with the same goal
of evolving to Godhood in the cosmos. The “universal” is supplied
by theological materialism and the life-activating material
Spirit-Will, or Tirips. The “specific” is elaborated by the
cultural-ethnic-environment in which the universal proceeds.
The political or practical
ramifications of this myth-religion/philosophy suggests small states
or ethnostates to accommodate kin and ethnic centered human
nature and nature itself, protected internally by the citizens and
externally by a defensive federalism, and guided by science, religion
and the universal goals of theological materialism in the evolution
of life to Godhood in the cosmos. The artistic ramifications lead to
the affirmation of the sacred myth-religion/philosophy through
popular art and high art.
This supplies the classic
functions of myth/religion/philosophy as defined by the mythologists
(eg. Jung, Eliade, Campbell), that is, a sacred religion of evolution
to Godhood in the cosmos, sacred new/old images in relation to our
time and place, the creation and bonding of values and morals, and
helping us to live our daily lives.
