I sometimes wonder whether it is a misguided yearning for this state of final participation that leads so many secular people to attempt to model a socialist utopia as an end point or ideal for society without recognizing that this could never work on Earth and certainly not on the wrong side of a mass raising of spiritual consciousness/mass repentance and conversion. Clearly such ideologies will not work when there is still not a critical mass of sufficiently spiritually advanced people and if there are only a few charismatic but exploitative sociopaths or parasitic individuals that are unable to live with love as their primary motivation and will prevent a successful dynamc equilibrium of loving relationships within a brotherhood of man.David Balfourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099160562774064281noreply@blogger.com
