Continuing this post, Wilson said the following in this essay:
"Multilevel Selection (MLS) theory [...] provides a spiritual narrative that is more compatible with modern evolutionary science.
In this narrative, the spiritually enlightened state can evolve by a
Darwinian process, but only under special conditions. The challenge, or
quest, is therefore to create the appropriate conditions for evolution
to take us where we want to go. The only way to arrive at the Omega
Point is to steer toward it. I personally find this more
motivating, as well as more scientifically accurate, compared to
narratives that invoke macro-evolutionary trends or stages of
development that are supposed to take place over historical epochs. It
provides a more immediate call to action, along with the tools for
getting the job done."
