WHY THE STATE
WITHERS
If
the State 'withers away',
In
Engels' oft-quoted phrase,
It
is because religion flourishes.
The
State cannot 'wither away' by itself,
But only in relation to the flourishing of religion.
If
religion doesn't flourish,
The
State has no business 'withering away'.
It
cannot abandon the world to chaos,
But must protect religious progress.
The
Christian religion, being dualistic,
Caused the State to 'wither away' partially.
The
transcendental religion of the future,
Being
post-dualistic, will cause it
To 'wither away' completely.
And after
The
State has disappeared
There
will only be religion, the religion
Of
the supermen-superbeing phases
Of
the post-Human Millennium, tending ever nearer
To
the culmination of spiritual evolution
In the post-Millennial Beyond. Eventually
There
will be no religion at all, but only God.
For
God is the outcome of all striving
Towards divine transcendence.
