7. About Some Principles of the State Order

7:1. As we have already discussed, people differ by their psychogenetic age and also by the direction they have been developing in (toward the Creator or away from Him) during their current and past embodiments. This determines their current potential.

Only a few people out of millions are capable of attaining the true cognition of the Creator and Merging by the consciousness with Him in their current incarnation.

Others can become good leaders in business, science, medicine, politics, pedagogy, or other spheres of social life. If they live righteously, they will be preparing themselves to become worthy of going to paradise and then of attaining even higher spiritual goals in the course of their future evolution.

People of yet another kind have not matured enough in their evolution to become good large-scale leaders. But they are able to work successfully as specialists in different areas for their own and other people’s good. They will attain paradise if they follow the principles of the Divine ethics. But serving other people in the form of imparting to them spiritual knowledge will allow them to grow faster spiritually and to quickly approach the Ultimate Goal.

There is also a class of people — which is the most numerous in any country — who are able to work only being guided by someone. It includes people who are either young or degraded from the evolutionary standpoint. Every one of them has chances for evolving positively, for attaining paradise, and for further development, although quick spiritual achievements are not feasible for them.

7:2. In the harmoniously developed society, people of each class — naturally and without conflicts — can find their place in the social life, which would be adequate for them and beneficial for others.

7:3. There is a special social category for the people who have military inclinations, who are disposed to force and aggressiveness, sometimes out of good purposes. Their (and only their!) natural social role is military service and service in other “force” structures, without which no state can survive nowadays. If such people serve righteously and in conditions of a strict discipline, they also evolve correctly.

Therefore, in every society there are people, who destined for studying military work and serving through it. And there are others, who are harmed tremendously being compelled to military service.

Constrained drafting of young people into military forces is a form of slavery, which is extremely harmful for their personal evolution. It cannot take place in countries that pretend for being called “civilized”.
