Evolution moves inevitably in a pattern and that pattern has a discernible direction

Tirips, or the will to Godhood, does not receive its direction from elsewhere, not from the intellect and not from God. Material Tirips is a first cause, a first definition of life materially existing within the material body activating life to materially evolve to the supreme survival success of supermaterial Godhood. Natural selection and evolution then adapt the life-forms toward successful survival and reproduction.

Tirips replaces or takes the place of the soul and spirit, simplifying religious epistemology and ontology, joining religion, science, and all the fields. Modern life-affirming new creations are needed, conservatively synthesized and synchronized with the deep biological origin all social behavior, conservatively linked with old religious forms.

Both traditional religion and scientific materialism need to affirm that evolution moves inevitably in a pattern---even though it has random elements---and that pattern has a discernible direction, in spite of instances of stagnation and retreat, "toward higher and higher more effective living forms," and finally evolving toward continuing levels of Godhood. We have to let life and help life attain this sacred goal.

Speculation on Tirips and primal beginnings and endings

The “first cause” could 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.

The “let's you and him fight” intelligence strategy and what to do about it

As supposedly “conservative” Fox News was interviewing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo this morning and ramping up support for the assassination of Iranian General Soleimani, Pompeo said the deed was done following information coming in from intelligence forces, but no one asked the question, which intelligence forces other than our own intelligence forces? Who benefits most from this assassination? There is little doubt that the Israelis benefit most since Iran is their greatest enemy, and the Israelis are masters in the “let's you and him fight” intelligence strategy. But no matter how angry we may be for intelligence meddling which could easily cause another big war, antisemitism is not called for. 

The great error of the founding fathers of America was to assume or take for granted that America would always be a nation of European or specifically Northern European people and led by Euro-American natural aristocrats. That assumption couldn't stop the gradual immigration of non-Europeans into America. We have seen that Northern Europeans naturally act and govern differently from Southern Europeans, Jews, Blacks, Hispanics or Asians who govern in their own ways, largely due to the various ethnic traits existing in their genetic pools which affect the cultures they develop. Natural ethnocentrism then causes these groups to support the ethnic countries they came from, often in opposition to the county they immigrated to, and that natural loyalty to their own ethnic group helps cause such reactions as being antisemitic, anti-Hispanic, etc. Israel itself understands this in allowing only Jews to be citizens of Israel.

The long term way to manage this serious social problem is not to become anti-Semitic, anti-Hispanic, anti-Black etc but to work toward correcting the great immigration errors of the founding fathers by developing an ethnopluralism of ethnostates in America. If real kin and ethnic-centered human nature is allowed to be what it is, it naturally leads to regionalism, localism, ethnostates, and finally an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. In the U. S. this could legally be accomplished by adapting the U.S. constitutional separation of powers and states to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. All ethnic elements of the demographics in America could then be what they naturally are in their own ethnostates protected from marauding imperialists, supremacists, and global money grubbers, by a light federalism.

The activator of life as the essence of life

Contrary to traditional religious philosophy, the material will, or Tirips, is nobler than the material intellect because Tirips is the material activator of the intellect in every cell of the body, activating life to materially evolve to supermaterial Godhood, along with the ups and downs of outside natural selection and evolution.

Good and evil, truth and error in Tirips and in the intellect are material things and objects, as are ascending levels of supermaterial Godhood as the highest success in survival and reproduction.

If you are looking for the essence of life, Tirips as the activator of life defines the essence of life best. So all the talk in traditional metaphysics of there being something, anything, non-material and spiritual is primitive nonsense.

That old inward path ascetic spiritual view of the soul and God can be conservatively retained in the Twofold Path if seen as the first primitive glimpses of God and man, but that view is transformed in the Outward Path of the material evolution of man to real Godhood.

The great popular denial of real human nature

Watching a popular podcast praising the use of marijuana because it makes people want to love everyone and everything, I was struck with how in sync that was with leftist propaganda and the great popular denial of real human nature. I would like to see a graph that represented the connections in comparing real human nature to our modern social and political proceedings. We could then graphically see how deeply the great popular denial of human nature has invaded the modern world where there is party time, excessive drinking, constant marijuana use, drug overdose deaths, and increasing porn in at least half of the population of America and the world.

As I repeat here often, because virtually no-one else does, human nature is generally understood by the biological or evolutionary sciences as being universally kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making, among other conserving things, with group-selection and ethnic-selection as the primary unit of successful selection and survival. This biological origin of social behavior is declared to be “politically incorrect” and even taboo by the present academic world and by the deceitful Hollywood/New York/Washington media, but it is believed by at least half the people in America.

So as this new year and new decade begins if there is hope for ending or slowing the great popular denial of real human nature and the denial of the biological origin of social behavior, it is that cultures are eventually pulled back by the biological and genetic leash of real human nature to cultures that better reflect real human nature, and humans then work within and adapt to the environments they find themselves living in.

Evolutionary conservatism: the new synthesized with traditions

In general the speed of conservative change seems best for successful human civilizations. Two historical examples of conservative change affirm the projected changes of theological materialism in religion and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates in politics. In religion the philosophy of St. Thomas synthesized the newly rediscovered Ancient Greek philosophy into Christianity, and in politics the American Revolution grew out of the practical governing experience of both old Britain and new America---the American Revolution was not like the radical French Revolution which tried to overturn everything, and St. Thomas didn't reject Christianity with a superior Greek philosophy.

In the Twofold Path of theological materialism, the God-Within, the Father-Within of the traditional Inward Path is retained but seen as only the first symbolic glimpse of the real Godhood reached through material and supermaterial evolution in the Outward Path. The Outward Path brings the sacred goal of attaining real Godhood in evolution, the God first seen and only mirrored in the Inward Path of the great religions.

In politics an ethnopluralism of ethnostates or regions could be adapted and established, legally, in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states. That is a practical and conservative solution to kin and ethnic-centered human nature and the diversity of competing racial/ethnic identities, each with its own natural urge to perpetuate itself and establish its own culture. The solution is not to try to jam everyone together in the same territory or to demand a creed of equality or multiculturalism, but to establish ethnostates for all distinctive groups and then protect them from marauding imperialists, supremacists, and money grubbers, with a light federalism.

Crossing theological rivers

Sri Ramana Maharshi said, “To identify oneself with the body and yet seek happiness is like attempting to cross a river on the back of an alligator.”  I would turn that aphorism around. To identify yourself with the traditional definition of the spirit is like attempting to seek happiness by crossing a river with no legs, no arms, and no body.  

Seeking happiness by the death of the body (by blocking material desires) as the ascetic's do for the peak material experience of bliss it brings is seeking only the death of the body, and the bliss is not even God.  

The “spirit” is not non-material the spirit is the activating material will to Godhood, or Tirips. Tirips activates within material and supermaterial bodies to cross material rivers and evolve to supermaterial Godhood. Ascending levels of Godhood are supermaterial not spiritual.  

We are activated to live and evolve by way of the activation of Tirips or the will to Godhood within life, and then life interacts with the outside forces of natural selection and evolution which shapes us genetically and culturally.

Fighting race hatred with an ethnopluralism of ethnostates

Hearing about another anti-Semitic attack in New York yesterday got me thinking about the analogy of using viruses to fight viruses, which was the anti-intuitive genius way Edward Jenner pioneered back in 1796 to fight small pox, and the technique has been used since then to fight other viruses. Using viruses to fight viruses is not a perfect analogy to use against racial hatred, but it might help to make the point about using an ethnopluralism of ethnostates to fight race hatred.

Ethnostates are not viruses. Contrary to received opinion, the not yet obvious solution to the diversity of racial/ethnic identities, each with its own natural urge to perpetuate itself and establish its own culture, is not to try to jam everyone together in the same territory or to demand a creed of equality or multiculturalism, but to establish ethnostates for all distinctive groups and then protect them from marauding imperialists, supremacists, and money grubbers, by a light federalism.

The rise of race and identity politics demonstrates races and cultures being pulled back by the biological and genetic leash of real human nature, which remains genetically and biologically kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making, among other things, with group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection. So race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation tend to eventually conform to the genetic human nature reflected in identity politics.

Unfortunately all we hear, even from those who have been most on the receiving end of race hatred, is more of the impossible demand that we all get along while jammed together in the same living space. With multiculturalism race hatred increases. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates or regions could be established, legally, in the United States adapted from our constitutional separation of powers and states.

A more realistic evolutionary art, filling the void left by postmodernism (from 2012)

The narrative of our evolution to Godhood can unify the modern progressive world with the utopian world of the old romantics. This was something that the 19th century struggled with and then lost out to International Marxism and Global Capitalism, in spite of the remedies attempted by Carl Jung and Rene Guenon. We do not have to work backward to paradise when we apply science and religion in our evolution to Godhood.

The one-race supremacy and imperialism of the 19^th and early twentieth century looks simplistic and short-sighted when compared to a world of small states, or ethnostates, with each state and people affirmed in their distinctiveness, and set alongside the others, all evolving in their own way.

This is more in harmony with human nature as defined by sociobiology and cultural history. In America there already exists a pattern for independent small states, protected by a light federalism, if the original Constitution is followed.  We would emphasize the distinctiveness of the individual states.  Europe, Russia, China also have their small states and provinces which can be affirmed and protected in their distinctiveness.

Religion can then bond and help advance the whole, as each in their variety evolve to Godhood in the cosmos.  This defines a more realistic evolutionary art, filling the void left by postmodernism.

How traditional conservatism and human beings can be saved by evolutionary conservatism

The political views of American conservatism that favor free enterprise, private ownership, and socially traditional ideas are natural and realistic for real human nature and for healthy survival and reproduction. The American republic can retain the concepts of ancient Greece and Rome and the ideas and mores from Britain that founded America, with only a few changes, such as broadening the constitutional separation of powers and states to include an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. And the Biblical understanding of religion and God on which most of the above ideas and mores were grounded need to transform from spiritual theology to theological materialism.

Traditional conservatism has been pulled apart by multiculturalism, trying to jam different ethnic groups together in the same living space, which then fall apart because distinctly different ethnic groups do not or cannot easily assimilate and therefore they compete against one another and even become enemies. This is the reality of real human nature, which remains kin-centered and ethnocentric. And to complicate multiculturalism even further, it is usually promoted by people who exploit the disorder and chaos of multiculturalism to advance their own group.

Religious, political, or ethnic totalitarianism, fascism, or empire-building have often been the temptation to try to create order out of chaos, but these always fall apart for many of the same reasons that multiculturalism falls apart: distinctly different ethnic groups and states do not or cannot easily assimilate, even with force, and so the empires fall.

As I say often in this blog, I think social and political philosophy will gradually change as the biological origin of social behavior, which includes human nature, is more accurately understood as being universally kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making, among other things, with group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection.

If real kin and ethnic-centered human nature is allowed to be what it is, it naturally leads to regionalism, localism, ethnostates, and finally an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. In the U. S. this could be accomplished by adapting the U.S. constitutional separation of powers and states to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. All elements of the ethnic demographics in America could then be what they naturally are, protected from marauding imperialists, supremacists, and global money grubbers, by a light federalism. The question is can this be done consciously and rationally, or will we have to completely fall apart first?

We don't need to lose religion, Godhood, or morality, the biological origin of social behavior can be expanded to high culture, which can create a natural world with the possibility of evolving all the way to Godhood. Religious and political universalism sits at the weakest end of the bonding by altruism, or being-for-others, which is why world peace and harmony are so difficult.

The spiritual Godhood exists not as a spiritual God but as ascending levels of supermaterial Godhoods at the zenith of material evolution, which religion and culture can affirm.

That is how traditional conservatism and human beings can be saved by evolutionary conservatism.

In the Twofold Path the hero can supersede the saint

Tirips is not like the soul other than both having the destination of Godhood, but they define Godhood and the method to Godhood differently and oppositely.

Tirips, or the will to Godhood, is material within the material body and materially activates the material body to evolve within the material world to material/supermaterial Godhood. The soul is said to be non-material and spiritual, and is claimed to be part of the spiritual Godhood that the soul seeks.

Tirips is not Godhood, it is the primal activation to Godhood, it does not intellectually know Godhood, whereas the soul is said to intellectually know Godhood and is a spiritual part of Godhood within the body.

Tirips essentially defines “life” since it is that which activates life within every cell of the body, then outside natural selection and evolution adapt life to what is best for successful survival and reproduction. The soul is a non-material intellectual vision; the beatific vision, like nirvana, is a peak material experience brought on by severe ascetic restrictions of the body and is not a transcendence of the natural material functions.

The ascetic vision of the soul and spiritual Godhood has put up a great spiritual blockade against material life evolving to Godhood. Some, like Nietzsche, thought it was an intentional blockade designed to give power to the spiritual priests, but it was probably more ignorance and misunderstanding.

We can call that ignorance and misunderstanding of Godhood and the soul the groping first attempts at understanding man and God, but that Involutionary Inward Path to the soul or father-within is transformed in the Evolutionary Outward Path of material evolution to ascending levels of real Godhood. We can conservatively retain them both in the Twofold Path.

A new Mass of Celebration needs to be created celebrating the material evolution of life to ascending levels of supermaterial Godhood in the Outward Path, which can be conservatively added to the old sacred Mass of ascetic sacrifice in the traditional Inward Path. In the Twofold Path the hero can supersede the saint.

A Rebirth Of More Than Tragedy (from 2012)

What is closest to representing the Will? Music is not closest to the Will, as Schopenhauer and Nietzsche suggested. The Will or Spirit-Will, or Tirips as I call it, cannot be separated from the object or body which it activates. Tirips is the inward dynamism of the material activation within life activating material life to evolve in the outside world toward Godhood, shaped by outside natural selection and evolution. 

   

Tirips does not reduce the world to mere appearance, as does the will of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche (and most religions), Tirips activates the material-supermaterial world and is never separate from the world of objects, which are its only vehicle to attain Godhood, its sacred goal, by way of evolution.  

The idolatry of music, numbers and words has taken us away from the real world---religion, science and art are all guilty of this. It is not the rebirth of tragedy (see Nietzsche), and not the affirmation of science (see various scientists), but the rebirth of the evolving human being which is the central antidote to decline---and that is also central to the rebirth of religion, science, art, and yes, politics.

Blame the Hollywood/New York/Washington media for the destruction of traditional American values and morals

The Hollywood/New York/Washington media is mostly responsible for the war against the traditional values and morals in America. As the demographics changed in America the media changed. The new Hollywood/New York/Washington media slowly gathered power over the former Anglo Saxon dominated news and entertainment industries and then let fly a war against traditional American values and morals, with help from intellectuals in the academies who philosophically supported the destruction, along with the open indulgence of the business world which mainly cared only for making money.

Have you seen what has happened to our young people---with constant encouragement from the ubiquitous media? It's always party time, excessive drinking, constant marijuana use, drug overdose deaths, porn everywhere. Their parents were also soaked in the same Hollywood/New York/Washington media rubbish and were also miss-educated by the same culturally Marxist and hedonistic professors.

So what can we do about it? Can we hope only for more people to become populist-nationalists in the face of a powerful media which hates populist-nationalists and hates all "deplorables" living between the East and West coast? How will we deal with the demographic changes in America when we know that as the demographics change the culture changes?

Cultures can operate for a time with behavior that goes against human nature with such experiments as cultural Marxism and unchecked hedonism but cultures are eventually pulled back by the biological and genetic leash of real human nature to cultures that better reflect real human nature, and humans then work within and adapt to the environments they find themselves living in.

I think social and political philosophy will gradually change as the biological origin of social behavior, which includes human nature, is more accurately understood as being universally kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making, among other things, with group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection. Unfortunately this human reality is declared to be “politically incorrect” and even taboo by the deceitful Hollywood/New York/Washington media.

If real kin and ethnic-centered human nature is allowed to be what it is, it naturally leads to regionalism, localism, ethnostates, and finally an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. In the U. S. this could be accomplished by adapting the U.S. constitutional separation of powers and states to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. All elements of the demographics in America could then be what they naturally are, protected from marauding imperialists, supremacists, and global money grubbers, by a light federalism.

I think this will eventually happen if we can keep from being utterly destroyed by the actions and influence of the Hollywood/New York/Washington media.

How intellectuals became overrated a long time ago

Influenced by Aristotle, St. Thomas said, “The desire of man is to know something whole and perfect,” and he said, “ Intellectual natures have a greater affinity to the whole than other beings.” So we see how the the body of people ordained for religious duties and how intellectuals in general became overrated a long time ago, which continues to this day.

The deepest desire of man, the most sacred desire of man is to be something whole and perfect and not merely to know something whole and perfect, and being something whole and perfect is accomplished by materially evolving the mind and the body toward a more whole and perfect being, and not merely intellectually. The human species is not something whole and perfect.

Intellectual's curbed some of their arrogance in the Renaissance and the Enlightenment by emphasizing reason and individualism, but they soon recovered their old arrogance and made a religion out of reason and anointed themselves as the new secular clergy.

Merely arriving at knowledge of things is incomplete knowledge, even mans religious beatitude is only a peak material experience of bliss brought about by strict ascetic discipline, it is not a spiritual experience of God.

If we want to be and know the whole and the perfect we will have to materially evolve our minds and bodies to ascending levels of the whole and perfect in the material and supermaterial world. That is how we arrive at real Godhood.

The conservative way to adapt the symbolic experience of the God within to the Outward Path of material evolution to real supermaterial Godhood

A great respect for conservatism was once shown by Thomas Aquinas when rather than turning to the metaphysical and epistemological philosophy of

the newly rediscovered Aristotle, Aquinas developed a brilliant synthesis of Greek rationalism and Christian doctrine, which probably saved Christianity from being swamped by the Greek philosophers.

As theological materialism transforms the philosophy of traditional religion and philosophy, a great respect is also shown for conservatism by affirming the Twofold Path, the involutionary and evolutionary paths, when the involutionary spiritual path could have been detached as being a great spiritual blockade against the evolutionary path of material evolution to real supermaterial Godhood.

“Transcendence-over-function” in religion and philosophy is not real or possible, but we can increasingly understand the functions of nature. The beatific vision, like nirvana, was/is a peak material experience brought on by severe ascetic restrictions of the body, and not a transcendence of the natural material functions, and not an experience of God.

We can indeed immanentize the eschaton, attain Godhood within nature and evolution, when we affirm that 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 ascending levels Godhood.

But respect for the strong pull of tradition and order, and the commitment to traditional values and ideas, was/is very successful to the survival of human beings and human cultures, as the best of the past is retained. We need a new Mass for the Twofold Path where the ascetic Sacrificial Mass of the spiritual Inward Path can be redeemed by a Mass of Celebration affirming the Outward Path of material evolution to real Godhood, joining the old and new, religion and science, martyrs and heroes.

It will be awkward to turn the big metaphysical and epistemological ship of religious philosophy around and point it in the opposite direction, but the Twofold Path is the conservative way to adapt the past preliminary Inward Path, with its symbolic experience of the God within, to the present Outward Path of material evolution to real supermaterial Godhood.

What would do more than religion or modern politics have done to curb hate?

I know it is politically incorrect to hate anything, but if hate is defined as intense or passionate dislike then I don't mind admitting that I hate modern liberals, who, along with other phony virtue signaling, push their syrup on hate which is usually only an attempt to keep sane people from criticizing their asinine version of liberalism. 

Modern liberals know nothing about real human nature, the Media and there corrupted teachers don't even believe there is a biologically derived human nature, they think everything we are is created by the environment or by nurturing, which is really their asinine culturally Marxist version of human life. 

I am against the idea of racial supremacy, but the liberal declaration of “hate speech” is often only someone standing up for their own ethnic group, and usually the virtue signaling is promoted by minority ethnic groups who have no problem loudly declaring the supremacy of their own group. There is a big difference between caring about ones ethnic identity and hating other ethnic identities, but these have been carefully linked together by the corrupt academy and the Big Media. If we have to hate something we should hate the diabolical and corrupt taboos against affirming ethnic identity. 

That is why ethnopluralism is one of the things featured on this blog as a healthy way to deal with the natural differences and competitions between ethnic groups, not to hate one another but to affirm regions and states set aside for distinct ethnic people and cultures so that they can be what they are. In the U. S. this could be accomplished not by way of radical revolution but through adapting---not overturning---the U.S. constitutional separation of powers and states with an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, protected from marauding imperialists, supremacists, and global money grubbers, by a light federalism. 

That would do more than religion or modern politics have done to curb hate.

The individual and the group in art (from 2012)

The centrality of group-selection in developing human ethics, as recently reaffirmed by E. O. Wilson, brings archetypes and myths back into art and culture, and tends to downplay individualism. Heroes are individuals, often with flaws, but they usually defend or affirm the group.

As we return to small states, and even ethnostates, in a world where single-state supremacy, imperialism, ect. crumbles, the character, tone and guiding beliefs of group archetypes and myth will become more relevant.

With ethnostates there will be new myths attached to the old. Sacred art is more than about art only, it is about life and our evolution beyond humans to higher life, and on to Godhood. It is the affirmation of the sacred that defines great art across human history, a theme more constant than the method of affirmation. Folk Art as well as High Art can produce the same affirmation with different levels of skill and sophistication.

Artists have the freedom during creation to produce what they want, which is a freedom that enhances creativity, but later religion and society have the ethical right to accept or reject the work of the individual artists, because life is ultimately more about group effort, survival and evolution than about the hyper-individualism of one artist.

Conservatively overcoming the Great Spiritual Blockade with the Twofold Path

St Thomas and other sages of the “revealed religions” said that evil springs from human nature, based on the idea that “being” or God is non-material and spiritual, and that is the root of the problem I have with their interpretation of human nature and God.

How many traits in the following sociobiological definition of real human nature and the biological origin of social behavior does religion find evil?: Human nature remains genetically and biologically kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making, among other things, with group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection. Political orientation, race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation tend to eventually conform to the human nature reflected in this genetic, biological, and sociobiological definition of real human nature.

If we check the first idea, that evil springs from human nature, with the sociobiological definition of real human nature, we see a similarity of conservative values, perhaps with the religious exception to human nature being ethnocentric and xenophobic. Then if we add the definition and interpretation of Godhood from theological materialism, that ascending levels of Godhood are evolved to in the material and supermaterial world, we can not only heal the rift between religion and science, we can stop the Great Spiritual Blockade that the revealed religions have put up against evolving to real Godhood.

The grip of the Great Spiritual Blockade remains, although the religions and philosophies of the great sages have been slowly fading in the West, replaced not with another religion or political philosophy but with the great license of libertarian individualism, or the nothingness of hedonistic nihilism, or in the middle-east with a fundamentalist Islam. Science has tried to remain materialistically neutral which has led to its general social impotence. Modern versions of evolutionary religion or spirituality are often updates of Buddhism dealing with or dismissing the material world using the old perspective of so-called non-material inward bliss and a non-material God, e.g. Ken Wilber.

Theological materialism and the projected Theoevolutionary Church conservatively overcomes the Great Spiritual Blockade with the Twofold Path, by including the great sages of the Blockade in the Involutionary Inward Path to the symbolic-experience of the Father Within, even as it is transformed in the Evolutionary Outward Path of material and supermaterial evolution to ascending levels of real Godhood. The old God or Father Within experienced as ascetic bliss is included but Godhood is seen as attained in reality through the Outward Path of material and supermaterial evolution. Science and religion can live in harmony with identity politics and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all as we unblock the Great Spiritual Blockade so that we may get on with evolving toward unending levels of Godhood in the cosmos.

Speculation on why we need new religious and scientific metaphors

Matter is energy, but energy is matter, do we really want to rate one higher than the other? Yes. Energy comes from matter. There would be no energy without matter. Spiritualist's turn the world upside-down to claim that their religio/philosophical world is not material. 

The “field” which governs the particle seems to be created by the interaction of material forces. The field is not spiritual. Energy, frequency, and vibration in the universe are not the secrets of the universe, it is matter, discovered and undiscovered, which drives these forces. 

 “Non-physical phenomena?” There are only the forces developed by physical phenomena. In the same way gravity or electric forces are not spiritual, they are brought about by material objects. 

The only “duality” I see, which is not a duality, is the inward dynamism of the material activation of life activating material life to evolve in the outside world, shaped by outside natural selection and evolution. This material inward activation is a “force” but not a non-physical force. 

Facts are connected in a complex structure, we need new religious and scientific metaphors to explain them. The material will to Godhood, or Tirips, is our connection to the earth but also our connection to the universe, and it contains the activation toward fulfilling our material/supermaterial purpose: to evolve in the material world to ascending levels of Godhood---it probably exists in every cell of the body.

What happened to our culture?

While searching through the cable and streaming channels looking for something to watch---other than old movies I've seen many times---and as usual finding only nihilism, pornography, or sensationalism, I asked myself again what happened to our culture? I'm not advocating boring movies with homilies and cliches, enduring standards can often be absorbed by portraying human depravities. The English used to make movies from the novels of Scott, Thackery, Dickens, Trollope and Austin. And American's tried their hand at making movies from the novel's of Hawthorne, Melville, Twain, and Faulkner, and of course their was the populist John Wayne movies. But now it's only screenplays written by truly awful writers with no real understanding of the normative standards of Western history other than to attack what little they understand of Western standards.

And we see what this kind of Hollywood garbage has done to our young people who grew up with it. They sit around playing ultra violent video games, sending obscene selfies on their smart phones, smoking marijuana, going to socialist Bernie Sanders rally's, and whenever possible having sex, with either gender. What a heinous thing to do to a people? Why was this done to America?

Hollywood became an evil genius at destroying traditional Western culture and was very successful in promoting and establishing their own degenerate garbage culture in America---and getting very rich in the process. But saying “Hollywood” is really saying the producers of Hollywood, it is they who are most responsible for the nihilism, pornography, and sensationalism that has ruined American culture---although much blame has to go to those who let this happen to America.

Hollywood is dominated by people who either refuse or are unable to conform to the dominate culture---which was at least a watered-down Christian culture. They proceeded to tear down the traditional culture every chance they got, and since they dominated the media, they had many chances to do it. No wonder puritanical men arise feeling like gallant knights saving damsels in distress. The problem now is that the damsels have been so thoroughly indoctrinated by Hollywood that they don't even know they are in distress, at least not until they find that they have to enter a substance abuse treatment program---and even then Hollywood profits from the bad publicity.

Many of us are thoroughly sick of Hollywood/New York show-business, but things will probably become more corrupt and rotten. If in the future our country separates into a constitutionally valid ethnopluralism of ethnostates, equivalent to our present regions and states, where the rights of the states can be protected from marauding imperialists, supremacists, chosens, and money grubbers by a light federalism---then Hollywood could be curbed. Hollywood and California could debauch themselves as they please, but may not be welcomed elsewhere.
