Very close. But its not just a dualism. Ziontology focuses on a
singularity named Zion, a duality named Xeno/Zeno, and a triality
named Body/Mind/Soul. Please read www.ziontology.com for more info on
that.
Of course, biological evolution, as with all forms of evolution, is a
central concept and part of how our trajectory in physical, mental and
spiritual space follows a geodesic towards Zion. As for having no
conclusions, that is interesting. Ziontology is in fact thoroughly
postmodern, and therefore, conclusions are of a constructivist nature.
Mental and social fabrications prevail. This is actually true of all
conclusions, such as in science, philosophy and religion, but
Ziontology is totally up-front about that. You are your own captain so
to speak, and you are responsible for your own conclusions and your
own trajectory towards Zion. Of course the final conclusion is the
final arrival at Zion, which some of us will make and others will not
during the current flesh-cycle. You say that it sounds more like just
a way to meditate and daydream like I do. That is very perceptive of
you, and I thank you for your profound observation and conjecture on
that. If it makes you happy to know, your conjecture is true. It is
true because you made it, and because you are the captain of your own
ship.

Take care, -Peter Thor
