... planetary government. Finally, the Melchizedek chairman of the revelatory commission appointed a commission of three of our number to prepare our view of the Master’s Urmia teachings as adapted to twentieth-century religious and political conditions on Urantia. Accordingly, we three secondary midwayers completed such an adaptation of Jesus’ teachings, restating his pronouncements as we would apply them to...

... it over his fellow teachers. There can be no lasting religious peace on Urantia until all religious groups freely surrender all their notions of divine favor, chosen people, and religious sovereignty. Only when God the Father becomes supreme will men become religious brothers and live together in religious peace on earth. 5. Political Sovereignty (1487.8) 134:5.1 [While the Master’s teaching...

... concerning the sovereignty of God is a truth — only complicated by the subsequent appearance of the religion about him among the world’s religions — his presentations concerning political sovereignty are vastly complicated by the political evolution of nation life during the last nineteen hundred years and more. In the times of Jesus there were only two great world powers — the Roman Empire in the West and...

... the Han Empire in the East — and these were widely separated by the Parthian kingdom and other intervening lands of the Caspian and Turkestan regions. We have, therefore, in the following presentation departed more widely from the substance of the Master’s teachings at Urmia concerning political sovereignty, at the same time attempting to depict the import of such teachings as they are applicable to...

... the peculiarly critical stage of the evolution of political sovereignty in the twentieth century after Christ.] (1487.9) 134:5.2 War on Urantia will never end so long as nations cling to the illusive notions of unlimited national sovereignty. There are only two levels of relative sovereignty on an inhabited world: the spiritual free will of the individual mortal and the collective sovereignty of...

... God overrides all intervening and intermediate spiritual loyalties. Someday civil rulers will learn that the Most Highs rule in the kingdoms of men. (1488.2) 134:5.4 This rule of the Most Highs in the kingdoms of men is not for the especial benefit of any especially favored group of mortals. There is no such thing as a “chosen people.” The rule of the Most Highs, the overcontrollers of political...

... evolution, is a rule designed to foster the greatest good to the greatest number of all men and for the greatest length of time. (1488.3) 134:5.5 Sovereignty is power and it grows by organization. This growth of the organization of political power is good and proper, for it tends to encompass ever-widening segments of the total of mankind. But this same growth of political organizations creates a problem...

... at every intervening stage between the initial and natural organization of political power — the family — and the final consummation of political growth — the government of all mankind, by all mankind, and for all mankind.

... united, for various reasons, into tribal units — superconsanguineous political groupings. And then, by trade, commerce, and conquest, tribes become unified as a nation, while nations themselves sometimes become unified by empire. (1488.5) 134:5.7 As sovereignty passes from smaller groups to larger groups, wars are lessened. That is, minor wars between smaller nations are lessened, but the potential for...

... elbows without generating conflicts and eventuating wars. (1488.6) 134:5.8 The difficulty in the evolution of political sovereignty from the family to all mankind, lies in the inertia-resistance exhibited on all intervening levels. Families have, on occasion, defied their clan, while clans and tribes have often been subversive of the sovereignty of the territorial state. Each new and forward evolution...

... of political sovereignty is (and has always been) embarrassed and hampered by the “scaffolding stages” of the previous developments in political organization. And this is true because human loyalties, once mobilized, are hard to change. The same loyalty which makes possible the evolution of the tribe, makes difficult the evolution of the supertribe — the territorial state. And the same loyalty...

... (patriotism) which makes possible the evolution of the territorial state, vastly complicates the evolutionary development of the government of all mankind. (1488.7) 134:5.9 Political sovereignty is created out of the surrender of self-determinism, first by the individual within the family and then by the families and clans in relation to the tribe and larger groupings. This progressive transfer of self...

...-determination from the smaller to ever larger political organizations has generally proceeded unabated in the East since the establishment of the Ming and the Mogul dynasties. In the West it obtained for more than a thousand years right on down to the end of the World War, when an unfortunate retrograde movement temporarily reversed this normal trend by re-establishing the submerged political sovereignty of...

When all the peoples of Urantia create a world government, they have the right and the power to make such a government SOVEREIGN; and when such a representative or democratic world power controls the world’s land, air, and naval forces, peace on earth and good will among...

Sometime the supernational sovereignty of the planetary government of mankind will be similarly created by nations for their own benefit and for the benefit of all men.

England, Scotland, and Wales were always fighting each other until they gave up their respective sovereignties, reposing them in the United Kingdom.

There is as much difference between them as between countries. The only hope is that the present prime minister, Rajiv Gandhi, is not a politician. He is a non- political man, and that...

... is the only hope. The politician functions for his own interest; he looks at everything through political eyes. In Rajiv Gandhi I see a great hope, because he is the prime minister but without any political ideology, without any political system in his mind. And that is one of the most necessary things in India. There is no need for it to have a particular system like America or Russia, because...

.... In India the dictum should be: even if ninety- nine innocent people have to be punished, it is okay, but not a single criminal should get out of the reaches of the law. He should be punished. Once it is clear, things will become simpler for Indian jurisprudence. Rajiv Gandhi has to introduce more and more non-political people into the central government and on the state level. You will be surprised...

... that in India there have been education ministers who have never been to any school. They could not even sign their own name. Instead of a signature they had to put a fingerprint. And they were education ministers! Now India has thousands of geniuses, great professors, academicians, but they are not political. There was no way for them to enter politics. This is the duty of Rajiv, because he himself...

... President Kennedy was a political conspiracy, for the simple reason that he was weeding out the politicians, out of their power positions, and bringing in people who were never known to have any political aspirations. It will be dangerous for Rajiv, but the challenge has to be accepted because India is falling apart, becoming poorer every day. The politician always thinks of his future election. He says...

... things which people want to hear, and he never opens his mind about what he is going to do. The politician is the hypocrite par excellence. Rajiv has to collect colleagues who are non-political, who will say only that which they are going to do and which they are capable of doing. You ask me what kind of political system India should have. In fact, no political system is perfect. The best way is to...

... choose the best part from every political system. There are things which are beautiful in the Soviet system. There are things which are beautiful in the American system. There are things which are beautiful in the British system. India need not follow a particular system in its totality. The question is not the system, the question is how to provide people with the best. In forty years, India has been...

Empires are of the past; in the future, empires cannot exist. Britain has lost its nerve, but in India, the British political system is still continuing. This is dangerous, because that system has led Britain to its dark...

... standing before you, who cares for democracy? Democracy is the luxury of a rich society. Become rich, and democracy will be yours. So India has to be eclectic in its political system. It should choose something from China, because Mao has been immensely successful in preventing population growth. It should learn something from America, because America has been able to produce more wealth than any other...

.... He has money to purchase votes. He donates to the party millions of rupees. Without him we cannot manage - and he wants to be the education minister. That is simply a political bargain."

And don't meet him...

... don't like the whole game." Being the son of a prime minister, grandson of another prime minister, he remained a pilot. He said, "I am perfectly happy being a pilot." It was simply out of necessity; when his mother was assassinated he had to come into politics, unwillingly. He has no political ambitions, and that is a great hope. India has maintained a policy of neutrality for forty...

... live on ideologies alone. You need first, bread. Jesus says, "You cannot live on bread alone." That is only a half statement. The other half has to be remembered: you may be able to live with only bread, but you cannot live without bread at all. India needs to be introduced to the new, contemporary world, and there is not much difficulty - just a non-political mind is needed. And I am happy...

... that Rajiv has a non-political mind, is intelligent, very active, industrious, understanding. And if India misses Rajiv, there is simply darkness ahead, because in India there is no other national leader. There are people like Morarji Desai still alive, but he has passed ninety years of age. He has been senile for thirty years; now it is risky. These people should be in mental asylums, and they are...

... has a future. ARE THEY STILL NON-POLITICAL? It is very difficult. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely, and they are human beings with all the frailties and weaknesses of everyone. People don't know what they will do when they come to power; they themselves come to know only when they have power. It is a little early to say, because the bureaucracy is the old one, which has to be...

The politician makes great promises just to gather votes, and once he is in power he forgets all his...

... promises. The new people have to be made alert: don't promise anything that you cannot deliver. Always promise something you can deliver - in fact, you can deliver more than you promised. The signs are good. Rajiv is absolutely non-political. He never wanted to come into politics; it is just circumstances that have brought him into politics.

If somebody is the minister for agriculture then he should...

... - let them take their measures. It is not your business. It would have kept India more healthy, more sensible, because Mrs. Gandhi's assassination that you reported changed the whole political character of the country. It killed thousands of Sikhs, it killed freedom of thought. I have nothing to do with Khalistan, but I have much to do with freedom of thought. I feel that evil should not be reported...
... brainless dispensers of fortunes who are not able even now to understand that they have not the remotest conception about the matters which they undertake to discuss.

Why he should tow the line of a political ideology in which there may be many things on which he does not agree, but because he belongs to the party he has to say "yes" - against his own conscience. I don't believe that political...

Political parties function in such a way that the weakest person comes to the top, and those persons cannot change the fate of a country like India. Such a vast country needs geniuses.
