This is a legitimate stage of evolution. But it only comes through spirituality. We see today that socialism and communism is the taking by force of what one has earned by one’s genius. It is the redistribution of wealth by means of taxation and by means of the abolition of private property and private ownership of the means of production. It is the taking by force of what the individual has gained by his investment of energy and consciousness in life, instead of it being given by the individual’s freewill love offering upon the altar of God. And so it becomes a regimentation of the Holy Spirit and its energy; it’s the forcing of a maturity of spiritual consciousness which has not yet been developed. | This is a legitimate stage of evolution.

== The problem of socialism == | |||
The problem with socialism is that it deprives the individual of the opportunity to exercise his own creative genius in shaping his environment, in drawing forth his talents from his [[causal body]]. | |||
When more and more goods and services are provided by the state, when the state takes care of everything, you lose the important opportunity of life to balance your karma. When the welfare state takes away all of your pain by providing for all of your needs, then you lose contact with your source because you are not forced to make any demands upon life. Furthermore, under a socialist system, if you have forged out of your causal body great light and great attainment, you are forced to immediately give it away. | |||
Socialism, then, becomes a doctrine of the [[fallen one]]s who themselves have abused their own light and the light of God. They have nothing in their hands to show for their existence of thousands of years, so they stomp their feet and shake their fists at Almighty God and demand everything equally with the lightbearers who have earned their way. | |||
