While the organisation of a society should be the concern of anyone interested in the spiritual discipline, ultimately focusing on it too strongly at the expense of cultivating your own inner awareness / growth / selflessness / health / insight isn't going to solve anyone's problems in the long run. There are ancient Buddhist texts that even tell people in ages of dharma decline not to worry too much about affairs of the world and to focus wholeheartedly on spiritual cultivation.

When I read posts such as this, I can understand the underlying logic, but unfortunately I see the logic as being flawed, at least from a spiritual point of view. Yes, a monarchy based on spiritual ideals would arguably bring a lot of benefit to society, but the problem is that the conditions for it to exist just aren't there. And that's ultimately what any true spirituality teaches you - how to recognise and break down the conditions of things so as to allow them not to affect you. By getting upset at leftists, capitalism, the Jews, SJWs, Nazis, fascists, liberals, Republicans, Democrats, women, Muslims, blacks, gay people, NPCs, secularists, atheists, materialists, p-zombies, etc. for the ills of the world, you're still ultimately bonding yourself to it and thus still have a long way to go in cultivating true gnosis and freedom.

So much disinfo in this thread.

Humanity is nothing more than one manifestation of the dreaming godhead. The only reason most of us think any different is because we've come to identify with our flawed, biological bodies and haven't been shown the way out of this limiting perception.

Bringing children into the world or not is entirely arbitrary. Their souls should continue to exist, just not on this certain plane of existence. One may chose to procreate or not based on personal values, but from a cosmic perspective, such decisions are irrelevant.

Suffering is but the misplaced faith that the dream is real.
