The soul itself has no skin color, nationality, or religion. It possesses language-independent knowledge gained from the experience of many lifetimes. In each new life, it must integrate this experience into the contemporary terms of the current era. Therefore, it requires education and culture.<\/p>\n

The less experienced a soul is, the more guidance it needs \u2013 provided with love and consistency, without oppression. General statements about nations are deliberately avoided here to prevent the reinforcement of prejudice and hatred. The teachings of the past 150 years provide enough warnings. The hidden caste system of Western countries should be a more pressing topic.<\/p>\n

An excess of physical incarnations in misery harms souls. Western nations have a duty to take steps and offer aid that effectively reduces birth rates in affected regions. Whether it is already too late to regulate this chaotic development remains to be seen.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
