Universal Religion Claims Everything by ERICA CARLE

Universal Religion Claims Everything
Quotes Assembled by Erica Carle

UNIVERSAL RELIGION

We have founded the new Science of Sociology, and as a deduction from Sociology, the Universal Religion. Comte, Auguste; System of Positive Polity, {SPP} Vol. II: Burt Franklin, N.Y.; Originally published in London, 1875. P344

SOCIOLOGY WILL TEACH MORALITY & DIRECT SOCIETY

The final blow was inevitably given to Theology . . . when the establishment of my system of Sociology cut from under it its old title to teach Morality and direct Society. (SPP)Vol. II, P. 299

SERVANTS OF GOD EXCLUDED

In the name of the past and of the future, the servants of humanity — both it’s philosophical and its practical servants come forward to claim as their due the general direction of this world. Their object is to constitute at length a real providence in all departments, –moral, intellectual, and material. Consequently they exclude once for all from political supremacy all the different servants of God — Catholic, Protestant, or Deist — as being at once behindhand, and a cause of disturbance. Werner Encyclopedia, Fourteenth Edition, “Auguste Comte,” Volume 6, Page 191.

NEW SPIRITUAL POWER

It is the primary condition of social reorganization to put an end to the state of utter revolt which the Intellect maintains against the Heart. . . Positivism has at last overcome the immense difficulties of this task. . . every part of our nature is brought under the regenerating influence of the worship of Humanity. Thus a new spiritual power will arise. . . better calculated than Catholicism to engage the support of women which is so necessary to its efficient action on society. Comte; SPP; Vol. 1, P. 285–287

HIGH PRIEST OF HUMANITY

The whole spiritual hierarchy is immediately and unintermittingly under the influence of the High Priest of Humanity; he names, transfers, suspends, and even discards, on his sole responsibility, any of its members. Normally the residence of the pontiff must be Paris, as the metropolis of the West, but never with any share in the government of the holy city. . .
The vastness of his office makes it necessary for the Pontiff of the West to call habitually to his aid seven national superiors. . .
But the number will naturally be increased in proportion as the Positive religion advances towards its normal state of universality. This eminent branch of the priesthood will, then, furnish forty-nine members when mankind is completely regenerated. Comte, SPP, Vol. IV, P. 224

COMMUNISM LEADS TO POSITIVISM

So far, therefore, the fundamental principle of Communism is one which the Positivist school must obviously adopt. Positivism not only confirms this principle, but widens its scope, by showing its application to other departments of human life; by insisting that, not wealth only, but that all our powers shall be devoted in the true republican spirit to the continuous service of the community. The long period of revolution which has elapsed since the Middle Ages has encouraged individualism in the moral world, as in the intellectual it has fostered the specialising tendency. But both are equally inconsistent with the final order of modern society. Comte, SPP, Vol. I, P. 124

Communists are, without knowing it, preparing the way for the ascendancy of Positivism. Comte, SPP, Vol. I, P. 130

ENVIRONMENT CONTROLS MANKIND

In order then to regulate or to combine mankind, Religion must in the first instance place man under the influence of some external Power, possessed of superiority so irresistible as to leave no sort of uncertainty about it. This great principle of social science is at bottom merely the full development of that primary notion of sound Biology–the necessary subordination of every Organism to the Environment in which it is placed. . .
A sound theory of Biology thus furnishes the Positive theory of Religion with a foundation wholly unassailable; for it proves the general necessity for the constant supremacy of an external Power as a condition of unity for man, even in his individual life. Comte, SPP Vol. II, P. 12

EARTH OWNED BY THE GREAT BEING

The Great Being in its full prime, will take possession of its domain, the Earth, marking its proprietorship by effecting all the improvements compatible with the order of the whole, in accordance with the principle that particular action must in all cases be subordinate to the general unity. Comte, SPP, Vol. IV, P. 54

TOTAL SYSTEMATIZATION

In the final state the complete systematisation of all the powers of man already developed is the chief object of all forethought, whether speculative or practical. Comte, SPP, Vol. II, P. 148

EXISTING SYSTEMS MUST BE DESTROYED

Whatever is now systematized must be destroyed: and whatever is not systematized and therefore has vitality, must occasion collisions which we are not yet able accurately to foresee or adequately restrain. This will be the test of the positive philosophy, and at the same time the stimulus to its social ascendancy. Positive Philosophy of Auguste Comte, Vol. 6 P. 411,412.

CENTRAL POWER

Positivists have little hesitation in siding in almost all cases with the central as against the local power. Comte, SPP, Vol. I, P. 98

ELEMENTS OF COLLECTIVE FORCE

We must properly distinguish three social powers, respectively based on the three necessary elements of collective force, in spontaneous relation with the three essential sides of our cerebral nature. Of these three, the Material is vested in the great and wealthy, the Intellectual in the wise and in priests, the Moral in women; the three representing a basis of Force, Reason, and Affection. Comte, SPP, Vol. II, P. 255

UNITY IS PROGRESS

The general results of the last volume may be thus summed up; — the normal type of Human Existence is one of complete unity. All progress therefore, whether of the individual or of the race, consists in developing and consolidating that unity. Comte, SPP, Vol. III. P. 8

HIGH PRIEST OF HUMANITY

Thus, the sixty republics of the regenerated West will have no other habitual bond than a common education, community of manners and customs, and common festivals. In a word, their union will be religious and not political; allowing for the historical relations resulting from previous aggregations, and soon to disappear in the new connection, unless when they rest on community of language. The High Priest of Humanity will be, more truly than any medieval pope, the only really Western Chief. Comte, Auguste; The Catechism of Positive Religion; Translated by Richard Congreve, Third Edition1891; Augustus M. Kelley Publishers, Clifton, 1973, P. 248

SUPPORTERS OF UNIVERSAL RELIGIION

In the 1920’s and 1930’s, fertile years in the development of American social sciences, most–perhaps all–of the direct funding for social science research came from private foundations…
It was the foundations that gave the grants for individual scholars and sponsored and funded such critical research centers as the Brookings Institution, the Institute for Governmental Research, the National Bureau of Economic Research, the Social Science Research Council, and the Stanford Food Research Institute.
During these decades, the Rockefeller Foundation and its partner, the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial, invested about $100 million in the social sciences…
There were in this prewar era other foundations helping the social sciences: the General Education Board, the Rosenwald Fund, and–most notably–the Carnegie Corporation…
After World War II, foundation spending on social research grew steadily until the late 1960’s; but in the same period the government’s spending on research grew much faster, from $30 million in 1956 to $100 million by the mid-1960’s to $524 million in 1980. “Social Science Research: Shifting Infatuation with A Critical Resource” by Marshall Robinson, FOUNDATION NEWS, Sept./Oct., 1983. P. 58.
