The evolutionary universe


The evolutionary universe comes in two different shades. The first is the view of traditional enlightenment, and it is a view or a perspective. The other is the view of evolutionary enlightenment which is also a view and a perspective. The main point that evolutionaries are making is that we have to have a view of reality. I think this is true in some cases. But I don’t think we always have to have a view of some sort. Because if it is true that we always have a view than we don’t need to have a view in order to have a view. That is one of the eight fold path in Buddhism, no view is right view. This has similarities in evolutionary and the traditional form of evolutionary. Where the goal is always either right view or no view. The goal in evolutionary is right view,  but the way to get there is through no view. The way to get to no view in the traditional approach is also no view, all though that no view leads to right view, but it doesn’t lead to evolution.
