The Fate of Mankind
Chapter 46
The world government consisting of the most noble representatives of science
As internationalism, which we have seen means unselfishness, must prevail in the world before the government of this kingdom is a fact, the same government would of course only be able to exist as a result or product of unselfishness. But, as unselfishness cannot prevail or become an authority and thereby of universal validity before it is a "science", neither could the world government become any real authority without consisting of scientists in the area of unselfishness. This government will thereby come to differ from present and past governments of the nations since their members to a great extent are authorities only in the national and so in the selfish area. This selfishness is not of course necessarily true of their own personalities but rather of the particular "political party" they each represent. The members of governments and parliaments within the governments of the ordinary states are thus in reality in many cases not champions of the common good but rather champions of the advantage of their particular "party" and its appropriation of public assets, regardless of whether these advantages are undermining or degrading other "parties" within the state. But this is because selfishness in these beings predominates over their intellect, and their intelligence is therefore far too much used as a tool for selfishness. In other words, the representatives of selfishness have more power than the representatives of intellect and science.
      When science becomes so advanced that its representatives are the champions of unselfishness, these champions will be the only existing beings on earth having the necessary qualifications to be able to fulfil the requirements that determine the basis for the complete control of the dawning international world kingdom by "the holy spirit", and thereby the maintenance of a real peace on earth. And evolution will then also result in the fact that the members of the government of this world kingdom, even though chosen by the people, can be recruited or selected only from the highest and most noble areas of science in all fields, material as well as spiritual.
