La Hermandad advierte que los pueblos no se deben unir prematuramente, aun con el propósito de resolver los problemas del sistema ecológico planetario. Porque en vista de su karma de grupo y su destino divino de manifestar un aspecto de la conciencia Crística como nación, los pueblos del mundo requieren fronteras de identidad que les permitan cumplir su razón de ser. El sistema de naciones no es básicamente malo, ni tampoco son sus ciudadanos inherentemente egoístas. Porque al desarrollar su propia individualidad y al respetar los derechos de otros de hacer lo mismo, ellos mejoran la evolución de todos los demás estados y de todo el cuerpo planetario. | La Hermandad advierte que los pueblos no se deben unir prematuramente, aun con el propósito de resolver los problemas del sistema ecológico planetario.

La unión de los pueblos del mundo va a tomar lugar naturalmente cuando los individuos y las naciones traten de alcanzar la perfección y la unión mediante el Cristo. Mientras tanto, los Maestros instan a todas las familias, comunidades, estados y naciones a empezar a buscar seriamente soluciones a sus problemas ambientales. Cuando este proyecto se lleva a cabo sin egoísmo, teniendo en mente solo el bienestar general y la gente está dispuesta a sacrificarse unos por otros, entonces, y sólo entonces, habrá un verdadero progreso. | |||

The belief that the dangers inherent in a worldwide system of ecological control would be eliminated by the rule of an intellectual elite is also subject to serious question by the student of the Masters. While the Hierarchy acknowledges that only the most highly qualified and the best educated among mankind should have the final word on environmental controls, their judgment and man’s judgment of who is most qualified and who is best educated do not necessarily coincide. | |||

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> | |||
While rule by an intellectual elite is acceptable in theory, we would point out that in practice such a system can be both unwieldy and dangerous. The unwieldiness of the plan lies in the enforcement of the decisions reached by the world governing body. Nothing short of an international police state with the power to override the sovereignty of the nations could effectively put such a plan into action. The danger in the plan lies in man’s assumption that by his intellect alone he can arrive at the judgments of God. | |||

While it is often true that the trained mind can best attune with the Christ mind, it is also true that the best minds can be trained according to the worst concepts. Such minds will reject the promptings of the Christ because they have been preconditioned by the warped perspective of the [[carnal mind]]. Some of the world’s greatest thinkers, through no fault of their own, have been deprived of even a basic understanding of the laws of [[karma]] and reembodiment and the place of our planet in the cosmic scheme. Yet they are developing ways to alter man’s entire life pattern to conform to the man-animal they have been educated to believe in. When man’s best is not good enough to become a universal standard, then it is best that his sphere of influence be less than universal. The removal of the nation-state removes the last means of limiting the proliferation of error until man himself is able to transcend the limitations of his false indoctrination. | |||

We must conclude that until the “specialists” who are slated to take charge of the proposed one-world ecosystem acknowledge the Christ-potential of every member of the biosphere and self-mastery becomes the primary goal of education, until the purpose of government is seen to be the protection of the Christ in every man, a worldwide system of control is in danger of being used by the wrong people for the wrong ends. Only when the specialists themselves are working consciously toward oneness with the [[Christ Self]] can they be trusted to preserve the freedoms that are essential to every man’s realization of the Christ; only then can they be trusted to carve out the destiny of an entire planetary evolution. | |||

== Karma, dharma, and the distribution of resources == | |||
</div> | |||
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> | |||
In examining the belief that man’s ecological problems can be solved by a more equitable distribution of human and natural resources, the Ascended Masters would point out that it is precisely because the energy quotients of individuals are not equal that the theory of the equal distribution of man’s resources is untenable. Individual effort to develop the divine spark and to expand the qualities of the Godhead is the determining factor of man’s individual status as a son or daughter of God. And as the Parable of the Talents<ref>Matt. 25:14–30.</ref> illustrates, the use man makes of his talents in one embodiment determines how many he will merit in the next. Individuals and nations whose efforts to work the works of God have been greater than that of others who have had the same opportunity have earned the right to draw a greater allotment of wealth, energy and talent from the universal Source. | |||

Just as no man can take from another his treasures in heaven, neither can an individual or a political unit demand from another wealth and goods which it has not earned through honest labor. The very fact that a person or a group of persons is born in a certain time and in a certain place to a particular race and family in a particular nation and continent is an indication (1) of his karma, good and bad—of what he has and has not earned the right to enjoy—and (2) of his [[dharma]]—that service which it has become his duty, according to the will of God and his divine blueprint, to fulfill. | |||

The plan for a one-world ecosystem will not work because it does not take into consideration the delicate balance of the spiritual ecosystem—the interaction of the causal bodies of the ten billion souls assigned to the planetary schoolroom. Individuals, groups, neighborhoods, communities, cities, states and nations comprise ecosystems within ecosystems with interdependencies and interlocking energies. To take them apart and put them back together again like a game of blocks—to shuffle people and things like a deck of cards and deal a new world—is a violation of cosmic law so serious as to spell the ultimate end of the biosphere. Total control of a planet and its people equals total destruction of individual fulfillment of the Christ-potential through individual initiative. If you destroy a man’s incentive to create, you destroy the man, making him an animal. And if at the same time you destroy the identity of a nation by depriving it of its destiny, you are left not with a Golden Age, but with an animal farm. | |||
