The Eternal World Picture, vol. 2
25.4  The animal nature of mankind keeps it perpetually at war
Terrestrial human beings absolutely cannot be blamed for being at a stage where they manifest this consummate animal state or way of being. Their way of being is a manifestation of a particular unfinished group on a particular step on the ladder of evolution. The beings cannot of course act according to the evolutionary steps that lie above them. Only through evolution can they gradually reach the more perfect stages. Because of this consummate animal nature in the groups of human beings that make up the states, war or Armageddon is a permanent manifestation that now and then breaks out in formidable Doomsday or Armageddon situations with mutilation, death and ruin for millions of people. These Doomsday or Armageddon situations are promoted accordingly by the arcs of fate of the countries or states involved, which return and release the concentrated effects of the greater or lesser Armageddon or darkness that the people and states concerned have inflicted on other people and states. But it is not merely karma for the massacre and mutilation of people that makes its presence felt. An extraordinarily great part of the karma is due to people's terrible slaughter and carnage of millions of animals, whose organisms they kill and eat.
