The aim and zenith

 Andrew Balio wrote “Johann Sebastian Bach said that “The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.” That is another way to say that the aim and final end of all music should be Beauty, for it has always been with beauty that we glorify God just as it has always been beauty that refreshes our souls."

The philosophy of theological materialism believes that life evolves materially to Godhood and defines that Godhood as the zenith of beauty, truth, and goodness and the fulfillment of the soul, or Tirips, which is the the will-to-Godhood activating material life. Life is then shaped by the vagaries of outside natural selection and evolution. There is endless evolution toward higher and higher truth, intelligence, beauty, and goodness, that is, continually evolving ascending Godhoods are reached. Tirips or the will-to-Godhood within life decides where it wants to go first, toward Godhood, and then the body, mind and culture, and outside evolution, follow as best they can, given the various environments life finds itself living in. But life can also fall back in devolution, new cosmos are formed again, but always giving life another chance to evolve to Godhood. 

Progress (evolution) and puritanism (conservatism)

Progress (evolution) and puritanism (conservatism) can go together in political philosophy but only when the puritanism is first grounded in the biological origin of social behavior, or the survival and reproductive success of any given ethnic group; there is no better way to synthesize the contending elements of progress and puritanism: and it is the most import and way to retain conservatism. Babbitt and Kirk neglected it. But alas, it remains a “politically incorrect” taboo subject, so conservatism fades away along with the ethnic groups.

Toward a realistic national identity

 The acceptance of human biodiversity and the biological origin of social behavior is the best and perhaps only way for humans to define a national identity, not to first define a nation by religion, culture, creed, or principles. We have to admit that the different human races possess heritable differences do to localized group inbreeding through many generations, and that our behavior, intelligence, and personalities are to a large extent heritable. All races biologically inherit differences in behavior, intelligence, and personalities, and they usually and instinctively prefer their own kind. Until we openly face and accept the reality of human biodiversity and the biological origin of social behavior we will only be playing around with weak or unworkable solution's to our dangerous social problems.

I affirm the legal way to arrive at an ethnopluralism of ethnostates that synchronize or conform to real human nature. I think the instinctive and logical social outcome of discovering and defining real human nature, which is primarily biologically kin-centered and ethnic-centered, naturally leads to regionalism, localism, general conservative values, eventually ethnostates, and finally, if we're wise, an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red.

Regional autonomy within the current constitutional system, with a federalism designed to keep ethnostates safe from marauders, seems like the way to begin to save America, and indeed save the Western world. Ethnostates won't happen soon, culturally affirming the biological origin of social behavior still lags far behind and is fraught with political mind traps, but I have no doubt that if real human nature is allowed to be what it is it will lead to localism, regionalism, and eventually to ethnostates.

Intellectuals of the old far right and the new far right (from the archive)

 Intellectuals of the old far right had respect for Western science, men like Raymond Cattell, Richard Lynn, Roger Pearson, John Baker, and Wilmot Robertson respected the Enlightenment. But in the last several years the far right has seen the rise of the Traditionalist School and the works of Julius Evola and Rene Guenon who rejected rationalism and materialism in favor of a Vedic-Hindu, neo-Platonist worldview that disparaged Darwinist material evolution and downplayed the biological origin of social behavior in favor of spiritualism over naturalism.

Was it the deep desire for an all encompassing religion missing from Western science that drew the new Alt-right away from the science-oriented intellectuals of the old far right, or did the Traditionalist School de-emphasizing of race and genetics appeal to the new Alt-right as a way to escape the hatred of racism across the media-driven culture? It was probably some of both.

The new intellectual far right seems to have ignored or is unaware of work of research psychologist Raymond Cattell and his religion from science, Beyondism, or my religious development of theological materialism.

Theological materialism is thoroughly Western and proud of it, following the Western path in centering on science and reason. But unlike the Enlightenment, theological materialism affirms religious tradition transformed rather than rejected.

It is difficult to find ecumenical commonality between the ethnocentric proto-Indo-European pagan religion and the traditional Judea-Christian religions. Rather than getting lost in comparing the symbols of lost spiritualism it is better for us to return to the material world and find our religious connections that way.

The eastern experience of Buddhist nirvana, and the beatific experience of heaven, or the Father Within of Christ, were just that, a peak experience in the physical mind after much ascetic discipline in blocking or overcoming material desires. We can conservatively retain that preliminary Inward Path experience of the God Within, but it needs to be transformed in the Outward Path of material evolution to real Godhood.

We can look beneath thoughts and feelings and find the multifarious processes of the instincts activating life to evolve toward the supreme survival success of Godhood. This activation exists within material life and is never separate from it, and adapts and evolves within the environments life finds itself living in---there is no spiritual/material duality here. The activation of material life toward evolving to Godhood is the unchanging constant as natural selection and evolution make new discoveries and present new challenges as we evolve toward ascending levels of Godhood.

While I respect some of the conclusions of the Traditionalist School (Guénon and Evola---and now Aleksandr Dugin) the Traditionalist School does not find science (a jewel of the West) nearly as important as Eastern spiritualism (a jewel of the East) and they reject and want to destroy the Western world (and its great genetic potential?) due to its gross materialism. Among American followers of Dugin, patriotism seems unfairly lost in seeing only the flaws of the West, which are redeemable. For example, an ethnopluralism of ethnostates or regions could be established, legally, in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states, protected from marauding imperialists, supremacists, Marxists, chosenites, and money grubbers, by a defensive federalism.

The Will to Godhood (Tirips) manifests itself through evolution

The Will to Godhood (Tirips) manifests itself through evolution, and its goal is the ongoing realization of perfected being, physically, intellectually and morally. The-will-to-evolve-toward-Godhood, or Tirips, is an inward, purely physical, activation working along with the shaping of outside evolution and selection. But even without acknowledging this inward purpose we can see that evolution has been moving toward more efficient forms, more complexity, with occasional stops and side-turnings along the way.

What is the best way to reach these goals?​ Bonding with a religion of theological materialism. Theological materialism (and the projected Theoevolutionary Church) will affirm the mission and path of the Third Covenant, the Cosmic Covenant of the Evolutionary Outward Path, which revitalizes Primordial Tradition, Christianity, Hinduism etc. by once again affirming the First Covenant of genetic and biological qualities within our material evolution to supermaterial Godhood as applied to the Outward Path of material evolution to supermaterial Godhood, yet also, as in the Second Covenant, this is applied to all people, all nations, all races, all people, preferably living in their own protected states or ethnostates with access to knowledge of the material evolution to Godhood. That is the synthesis of the Three Covenants in theological materialism.

I have written of the Three Covenants explaining how in the First Covenant of Primordial Tradition the Spirit and Soul of the Inward Path were understood as existing in the blood, that is, as being passed on only racially and tribally to a chosen eg. (Jewish) or noble (Aryan) people, etc.. Then Jesus Christ (and Eastern masters) brought the knowledge that the spirit and Soul-Within need not be understood and affirmed only racially or tribally but could be understood and followed by any race, any people, universally, provided they were taught the proper way to see or experience the God Within; Christianity said we were “Chosen” through faith in Christ not chosen by blood. That was the Second Covenant.

The Third Covenant acknowledges the biological origin of our social behavior which can end the intellectual separation between political ideologies and religious covenants, pointing toward the religious/political/cultural solution of the ethnopluralism hypothesis, often written about here. It is a conservative transformation---not revolution---that can bring about an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, which is the sociopolitical or political/cultural structure most in harmony with kin-centered and ethnocentric real human nature which evolved many thousands of years ago and remains with us today. Each ethnostate, each ethnic group, each race, can have access to knowledge of our sacred material evolution to supermaterial Godhood, and can pursue that sacred evolution in their own way in their own protected states, in the variety that is conducive to evolution, perhaps aided by nonpartisan international sociobiological research centers, as Raymond Cattell suggested.

The forced imperialism, supremacism, and multiculturalism of the world will give way to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, in line with real kin and ethnic-centered human nature. I think the real debate in the U.S. should be over how we can conservatively adapt the Constitutional separation of of powers and states to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. Cooperative competition between small ethnostates and regions, protected internally and externally from imperialism, supremacism, and multiculturalism by some sort of federalism can bring the variety and creativity that evolution prefers, as we all materially evolve toward Godhood.

Theological materialism can re-enchant and repair the world

Conservative Christians see materialism bringing only narcissism and nihilism into the world, and they look forward to the religious “re-enchantment” of the world. They believe only traditional religion can restore a politics and a culture oriented toward the highest Good.

But conservative Christians are mistaken about materialism. Materialism can give us a Godhood that includes both religion and science.

Conservative Christians think that our disenchantment with the religious world coincided with scientific advances but scientific advances have given us the best way to repair and re-enchant the world. Meaning can once again pervade the world, producing men and women capable of restoring a politics and a culture based in the evolution of the material world.

There is a way to reconcile and synthesize these things: Godhood is evolved to in the material world. It is the material will to Godhood that replaces the will to power and the spiritual drive. The “first cause” is the material activation within life, Tirips, or the will-to-Godhood activating material life, and then life is shaped by the vagaries of natural selection and evolution. There is endless evolution toward higher and higher truth, intelligence, beauty, and goodness, that is, continually evolving ascending Godhoods are reached. But life can also fall back in devolution, new cosmos are formed again, but always giving life another chance to evolve to Godhood. 

We can repair the world not tear it down. We can conservatively keep the old ascetic inward path to the "god" within in the Twofold Path, but only as a symbolic glimpse of the real Godhood reached in the outward path of material evolution to real Godhood. The Twofold Path can make room for the traditional, non-object-idea-only definitions of the God-Within, or even the bliss feelings of Father-Within of the Inward Path of the great religions---this is included but transformed in the Outward Path of the evolution to Godhood in theological materialism.

High and Low Art (from the archive

If high art is essentially the refined the affirmation of the sacred, and low art is the unrefined affirmation of the sacred, profane art would not affirm the sacred or could even actively deny the sacred. This is seen in traditional cultures.

Does this imply a “universal” art and a universal sacred? Not necessarily. Each culture, each people tend to have their own version of the sacred---which can however show universal similarities. This is another argument in favor of ethnopluralism which best allows separate ethnic cultures to affirm their own ideas of the sacred.

This also allows cultures to exist in harmony with our existing human nature, which remains ethnocentric and group-selecting. Some sort of cooperative yet competitive federalism can then protect the whole.

Reason, the Senses, and the Super-Id (From the archive

Unlike Burke I don't think that a man left to his passions will necessarily be a savage beast. Even Nietzsche made the same mistake in seeing the instincts more as a Dionysian beast, but unlike Burke, Nietzsche did not want to mediate the beast with reason (which to Burke seems to have been morality). Nietzsche claimed to like the beast, which had no goal other than power itself.

I define and present a Super-Id as the the Spirit-Will-To-Godhood, and define Godhood as the material or supermaterial sacred goal of the Super-Id, the instincts combined, and the evolutionary goal of life itself. Godhood is the evolutionary zenith of intelligence, beauty, truth, goodness etc, and of course, is not a savage beast.

Reason and morality too often overcompensate or repress the creative imagination that comes from our senses (Burke's moral imagination), and also can obfuscate the data from our senses, which can become a Great Spiritual Blockade. I see reason more like the rider of a valiant steed called the Super-Id/Spirit-Will-To-Godhood, which the rider/reason can help harmonize with, or even guide, but the rider is not the steed itself---and the rider would be arrogant in thinking that he alone sets the sacred goal.

The material primal plot and the sacred path (From the archive)

What someone called the “primal plot” usually does not include the evolution of life to Godhood, which is the real primal plot. It does not begin in Eden and end in Golgotha, or Nepal, or Mecca, that is only part of the plot. It begins at the various primal origins of various universes, all of which appear to be evolving material life toward Godhood. Some make it, some do not. That is the material primal plot as well as the sacred path. The ultimate purpose of life, which includes art and culture, is not merely to confirm a “maker” but to affirm the sacred path to Godhood of material and supermaterial evolution, guided by the activating Spirit-Will-To-Godhood within life.

The return to the spiritualism of the traditional cultural archetypes really means a return the biological origin of social behavior

Esoteric traditionalism advocates that all civilizations and peoples should return to the spiritualism of their traditional cultural archetypes—but that includes different forms of paganism, and not only the orthodox Christianity of the traditionalist Dugin or the Islam of Guénon. The biological origin of social behavior, and naturalism, is given short shift among the traditionalists, as well it might, because the biological origin of social behavior points toward the biological evolution of life toward a real living Godhood, and not a god which is attained only in the minds or hearts of men.

The highest possible degree of the spirituality in Traditionalism leads to the decline of the material body due to the Great Spiritual Blockade of life and the body with the Inward Path to the god-within. But the Half-Truth of the Inward Path can join the Half-Truth of the Outward Path to end the spiritual blockade of the Outward Path of material evolution toward real Godhood. We can bring survival and reproduction back to the sacred, after it has been largely exiled by Traditionalism due to its materialistic content which is considered inferior.

Traditionalism gave us hubristic authority beyond the material world, beyond the stars, and Traditionalism continues to supplant astronomy and biology with the exclusivity of the spiritual Inward Path. But life and beauty can be religiously exhumed from this material neglect. The Inner God is the Outer God we must evolve to. The Order of the Outward Path of evolution to Godhood brings the real return to the traditional cultural archetypes where reproduction and evolution to Godhood can be reaffirmed.

The acceptance of human biodiversity and the biological origin of social behavior

I believe the acceptance of human biodiversity and the biological origin of social behavior is the best and perhaps only way for humans, both conservatives and progressives, to exist in the best ways possible. We have to admit that the different human races possess heritable differences do to localized group inbreeding through many generations, and that our behavior, intelligence, and personalities are to a large extent heritable. For example, clear differences in behavior, intelligence, and personalities of blacks and whites are not primarily caused by anti-black prejudice of white people, all races tend to biologically inherit these differences in behavior, intelligence, and personalities, and they usually prefer their own kind.

And we should allow all races to prefer their own kind and even set themselves up in ethnostates according to real human nature. If real kin and ethnic-centered human nature was allowed to be what it is, it would naturally lead to ethnostates, and finally to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc., and defended by a defensive federalism. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states.

Until we openly face and accept the reality of human biodiversity and the biological origin of social behavior we will only be playing around with weak or unworkable solution's to our dangerous social problems.

The object is superior to the idea of the object

The object is superior to the idea of the object. A thing doesn't really need the idea of a thing; Spiritualists, intellectuals etc, elevate ideas into gods. The living or dead objects are the the real things no matter what you call them. The object is superior to the idea of the object.

There is a way to reconcile and synthesize the endless battles for First Things

 In the battles between the right and the left, the replacement the spiritual by the material, the group by the individual, the will to power versus reason, Nietzsche against Aristotle, there is a way to reconcile and synthesize these things: Godhood is evolved to in the material world. It is the material will to Godhood that replaces the will to power and the spiritual drive.

The “first cause” is the material activation within life, Tirips, or the will-to-Godhood activating material life, and then life is shaped by the vagaries of natural selection and evolution. There is endless evolution toward higher and higher truth, intelligence, beauty, and goodness, that is, continually evolving ascending Godhoods are reached. Life can also fall back in devolution, new cosmos are formed again, always giving life another chance to evolve to Godhood.

We can conservatively keep the old ascetic inward path to the "god" within in the Twofold Path, but only as a symbolic glimpse of the real Godhood reached in the outward path of material evolution to real Godhood. The Twofold Path can make room for the traditional, non-object-idea-only definitions of the God-Within, or even the bliss feelings of Father-Within of the Inward Path of the great religions---this is included but transformed in the Outward Path to Godhood in the theological materialism of the projected Theoevolutionary Church.

And evolutionary conservatism believes that if real kin and ethnic-centered human nature was allowed to be what it is, it would naturally lead to regionalism, localism, general conservative values, eventually ethnostates, and finally an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc., and defended by a defensive federalism. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states.

when human behavior is seen from the realistic biological origin of social behavior

All races are “systemically racist” when human behavior is seen from the realistic biological origin of social behavior. The Black Lives Matter movement which has been loudly accusing all whites of being racist is driven by the very same systemic black racism, and we are not going to solve any racial problems until we admit this.

The biological origin of social behavior which was introduced with Darwin and later sociobiology showed us that real human nature is and has always been genetically kin and ethnic centered (ie. racist and ethnocentric) with group selection or ethnic selection as the main unit of successful survival and reproduction, followed by individual selection. America has not successfully united different races and ethnic groups, we are naturally fragmenting into a nation of competing races in a zero game where the gains of one ethnic group is offset by the losses of another ethnic group, with much cruel social discord in the process. But all is not lost.

As one historian put it, what formerly divided us can put us back together again. It would be far more realistic to talk of un-assimilating differences rather than about superiority/inferiority. A true natural rights or civil rights movement would promote ethnostates and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established, legally, in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states.

The central purpose of power

Making Peace in the violent world is best way for the long flow of ordered material evolution toward Godhood to take place, which is the central purpose of life and therefore the central purpose of power. Wars slow down or even destroy sacred ordered evolution.  Correctly defining human nature is a greatest help in making peace in the sequence of power. The biological origin of our social behavior suggests that ethnopluralism is the sociopolitical or political/cultural structure most in harmony with kin-centered and ethnocentric real human nature which evolved many thousands of years ago and remains with us today.

Each ethnostate, each ethnic group, each race, can have access to knowledge of our sacred material evolution to supermaterial Godhood, and can pursue that sacred evolution in their own way in their own protected states, in the variety that is conducive to evolution, perhaps aided by nonpartisan international sociobiological research centers, as Raymond Cattell suggested. Forced imperialism, supremacism, and multiculturalism have been the wrong way to wield power in the world and it needs to give way to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. Making Peace in the violent world is best way for the long flow of ordered material evolution toward Godhood to take place, which is the central purpose of life and therefore the central purpose of power.

The Third Covenant versus both the Traditionalist School and the Great Reset

Political philosophers talk of ideologies, like the Great Reset, religious philosophers talk of covenants, mysticism, etc, like the Traditionalist School, I believe the Third Covenant, the Cosmic Covenant, surpasses both of these.

As Michael Rectenwald said in his excellent essay on Klaus Schwab, chairman of the World Economic Forum, “What Is the Great Reset?” (Imprimus, Dec 2021) “Another way of describing the goal of the Great Reset is “capitalism with Chinese characteristics”—a two-tiered economy, with profitable monopolies and the state on top and socialism for the majority below...While approved corporations are not necessarily monopolies, the tendency of the Great Reset is toward monopolization—vesting as much control over production and distribution in as few favored corporations as possible, while eliminating industries and producers deemed non-essential or inimical. To bring this reset about, Schwab writes, “[e]very country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed.”

As have said before, my view of the absolute importance of human evolution kept me away from the brilliant seduction of the Traditionalist School which is where the Alt-right turned. Many have now gone over to the school of Guenon, Evola, and the Russian Dugin, and embraced a non-populist, old spiritual religious, imperialist, hierarchy of rule, and have downplayed or even rejected the idea of science and evolutionary progress. Why didn't the Alt-right feature more Western geniuses, men like the brilliant British/American psychologist Raymond Cattell, or the great Neo-Darwinist field of sociobiology, rather than converting to the West-hating Russian imperialist Aleksandr Dugin and his Traditionalist School teachers, Guénon and Evola who did not find science (a jewel of the West) nearly as important as Eastern spiritualism (a jewel of the East).

I wrote of Three Covenants explaining how in the First Covenant of Primordial Tradition the Spirit and Soul of the Inward Path were understood as existing in the blood, that is, as being passed on only racially and tribally to a chosen eg. (Jewish) or noble (Aryan) people, etc.. Then Jesus Christ (and Eastern masters) brought the knowledge that the spirit and Soul-Within need not be understood and affirmed only racially or tribally but could be understood and followed by any race, any people, universally, provided they were taught the proper way to see or experience the God Within; Christianity said we were “Chosen” through faith in Christ not chosen by blood. That was the Second Covenant. Theological materialism (and the projected Theoevolutionary Church) affirm the mission and path of the Third Covenant, the Cosmic Covenant of the Evolutionary Outward Path, which revitalizes Primordial Tradition, Christianity, Hinduism etc. by once again affirming the First Covenant of genetic and biological qualities within our material evolution to supermaterial Godhood as applied to the Outward Path of material evolution to supermaterial Godhood, yet also, as in the Second Covenant, this is applied to all people, all nations, all races, all people, preferably living in their own protected states or ethnostates with access to knowledge of the material evolution to Godhood. That is the synthesis of the Three Covenants in theological materialism.

The Third Covenant acknowledges the biological origin of our social behavior which can end the intellectual separation between political ideologies and religious covenants, pointing toward the religious/political/cultural solution of the ethnopluralism hypothesis, often written about here. It is a conservative transformation---not revolution---that can bring about an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, which is the sociopolitical or political/cultural structure most in harmony with kin-centered and ethnocentric real human nature which evolved many thousands of years ago and remains with us today. Each ethnostate, each ethnic group, each race, can have access to knowledge of our sacred material evolution to supermaterial Godhood, and can pursue that sacred evolution in their own way in their own protected states, in the variety that is conducive to evolution, perhaps aided by nonpartisan international sociobiological research centers, as Raymond Cattell suggested.

The forced imperialism, supremacism, and multiculturalism of the world will give way to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, in line with real kin and ethnic-centered human nature. I think the real debate in the U.S. should be over how we can conservatively adapt the Constitutional separation of powers and states to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. Cooperative competition between small ethnostates and regions, protected internally and externally from imperialism, supremacism, and multiculturalism by some sort of federalism, which can bring the variety and creativity that evolution prefers, as we all materially evolve toward Godhood.

Re-imagining moral imagination (from the archive

 In theological materialism Godhood is transformed from the non-material to the material/supermaterial, and then re-imagined culturally in moral art (perhaps another version of Burke's “moral imagination”). God is not rejected but conservatively transformed: the God or Father Within of traditional religion is understood in the Twofold Path as a symbolic experience of the real Godhood reached through material and supermaterial evolution.

There is teleological purpose in the activation of the evolution of life, and not “mere” utility or strength. Basic causality is seen in the Will-To-Godhood which activates and virtually defines life. The teleological equation becomes utility (survival success of Darwin) plus strength (power) leads toward upward evolution (theological materialism). Both religion and science are transformed, and saved. Godhood is seen as the zenith of beauty, truth, goodness, power, etc. attained in material/supermaterial evolution.

Avoiding Genocide

In an article in Chronicles, Feb 2020 called “The New American Genocide,” Pedro Gonzalez writes: “The political hostility of the United States today is directed at no one more than America’s European-descended whites—the group whose ancestors are largely responsible for settling, building, and defending this country...According to the United Nations definition there are “two main elements” of genocide in practice, and they can occur either “in the context of an armed conflict” or in “a peaceful situation.” The first element is “mental,” defined as the “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such.” The second is the “physical” element, which is broken into five different acts, ranging from the outright killing of group members to deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part..It is a strange and unfortunate thing that this framework is increasingly useful for understanding the plight of whites in America as a group targeted for deliberate cultural dispossession and physical discrimination. Of course, a rebuttal here is that we have not yet reached the point where whites are being persecuted enough to warrant such an assertion. But then it would seem we must hold our tongues until that awful fate befalls whites...” Then Gonzalez goes on to list many examples of discrimination against whites and against white history that we all have seen exemplified lately with “critical race theory” etc. etc.

I agree with Gonzalez, but I take the even even deeper view and see the biological origin of social behavior behind all the ideologies and social schemes now adding up to an assault by nonwhites on the whole Western world and on the white people who created white Western culture. Nonwhites are coming after Whites more openly and undisguised every day.

I believe that the the biological origin of social behavior and real human nature, which is genetically kin and ethnic centered, leads naturally to regionalism, localism, and eventually an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, and so the sanest and most humane way (“equitable”) I can see to deal with the biological origin of social behavior and what we all are is for all ethnic groups or races, black, brown, red, white, or yellow to eventually form into an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. A federalism of the American variety with strong states rights can work for future ethnostates. The Constitution certainly gives the states independence and freedom, especially with the Tenth Amendment, which means that radical solutions such as supremacism, genocide, radical revolution or secession are not necessary.

Darwinian evolution doesn't define the material “agency” that first activates material life and then the process of natural selection which follows

Speculation on Tirips and primal beginnings and endings (from the archive)

The “first cause” would be the material activation within life, Tirips, or the will-to-Godhood activating material life, and then life is shaped by the vagaries of natural selection and evolution. This activation is not confined to biological life, it happens with prebiological life, chemicals, even in big bang beginnings, etc. I do not see a final cause, I see endless evolution toward higher and higher truth, intelligence, beauty, and goodness, that is, continually evolving ascending Godhoods are reached. Life can also fall back in devolution, new cosmos are formed again, always giving life another chance to evolve to Godhood.

This suggests that the “essence” of life is Tirips or the will-to-Godhood within material life.  Tirips is the “God-Instinct” (rather than the "soul") and is the highest of all the material  instincts, higher even than the conscious brain which the activation of Tirips helps develop. Tirips has been concealed under the superficial polish of civilization. We need to go back and allow Tirips or the will-to-Godhood to develop and evolve. Science needs to discover and define Tirips.

This suggests that Tirips is “rational,” within the bounds of reason, not irrational like Nietzsche's power-seeking Dionysus. Tirips could be a form of divine consciousness since it "knows" to seek Godhood by activating material life to evolve to Godhood.  But Tirips is not Godhood, it seeks Godhood and is shaped by the vagaries of outside natural selection and evolution.

Human consciousness develops in the brains of humans which the materially-life-activating Tirips first helps develop along with outside natural selection and evolution. The Tirips theory of history says that the outer events of material life are the result of the activation of the usually unconsciousness inward Tirips or will-to-Godhood, and then is shaped by evolution from the outside, all the way from big bangs or electric universes to human civilization and beyond.

This resembles the way intellectual intuition is often followed by empirical science, that is, Tirips or the will-to-Godhood decides where it wants to go first, to Godhood, and then the body, mind and culture, and outside evolution, follow as best they can, given the various environments life finds itself living in.

What we require in religion and political philosophy

We require that real human nature and the natural laws discovered by intuition and proven over time by science be included in religion and political philosophy, with a religion and political philosophy that admits the biological origin of human social behavior. Then we require the conservative principle that reform should repair, not tear down established cultures when working to establish a religion and political philosophy that admits the biological origin of human social behavior.

For example, the biological origin of social behavior and real human nature, which is genetically kin and ethnic centered, leads naturally to regionalism, localism, and eventually an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all ethnic groups or races, black, brown, red, white, or yellow. A federalism of the American variety with strong states rights can work for future ethnostates. The Constitution certainly gives the states independence and freedom, especially with the Tenth Amendment, which means that radical solutions such as revolution or secession are not necessary.

As to religion, theological materialism sees material progress as life infused with the upward climb of evolution toward ascending levels of Godhood at the zenith of material evolution, which we can and should aid with the evolutionary sciences. Natural law in evolutionary conservatism brings a conservatism grounded in the order of material evolution to Godhood. The coming species can evolve far beyond the human species, and far beyond increased human consciousness to God-Consciousness, which counters both the stagnation of traditional conservatism and the nihilism of empty spiritualism.
