THE SPIRITUAL LAWS

(avery) #1

their ability develops, they go on to hold positions of greater
responsibility, in accordance with the existing needs of certain
management functions.


That doesn’t seem to be a very democratic system, but rather it
appears to be a very hierarchical form of government. It does not
seem to me to be the people’s choice, but rather, that the higher
classes choose their successors.

The people of these worlds agree with this form of government,
because they know that the government is in the hands of the most
wise and loving people. Those who govern don ́t intend to dominate,
to oppress or to abuse their power, which is what happens in your
world, but rather totally the contrary. They see it as an opportunity to
help their brothers and sisters progress, making maximum use of their
abilities. Neither do they feel the urge to perpetually hold on to their
power in order to accumulate wealth and privileges, as that is not their
intention either, nor does the holding of those positions represent any
special privileges compared to the rest of the inhabitants. Besides,
many of the decisions that affect the citizens as a whole, are made
through referendum.


But this sounds like oligarchies to me, where only a chosen few have
the option to govern.

It is true that access to the government tasks of those worlds is not
available to just anybody. But what happens here is precisely the
contrary to what happens on Earth, where the powerful elite is formed
by members of the richest and, economically speaking, most powerful
families, these normally being people of low spiritual level, who are
extremely egoistic and ambitious for wealth and power. In these worlds
just the opposite occurs, leadership is given precisely to the least
egoistic, to those who have the most elevated level of love, to the
humblest and wisest.


It still seems to me a very hierarchical way of governing where the
same people are governing for too long.

It is normal for you to see it that way, because in your world you are
used to seeing that the people who have been in power for a certain
period of time, if at first they were not corrupt, end up being corrupt
and using power for their own benefit or for the benefit of certain
powerful groups, harming the rest. But it doesn’t happen like that in
these worlds.
