During the course of history, human beings have experimented endlessly, with varying degrees of success, to try and find the best form of government. Is it monarchy, the republic, oligarchy, synarchy?… Actually, there is no ideal solution: whatever form government may take, order, peace and harmony will never prevail until human beings learn to establish order, peace and harmony within themselves. And for this ideal state to be achieved, they must first understand the structure of the human psyche. Human beings have a mind, a heart and a will. They use the mind for thinking, the heart for feeling and the will for action. These three factors are the means by which they manifest themselves on earth. When they succeed in establishing wisdom in their minds, love in their hearts and power in their will, they achieve a trinity within themselves that resembles the divine Trinity of light, warmth and life. This is how they have dominion over their own existence. And then, it doesn’t matter what form of government is in place. If we want to establish order, peace and harmony in the world, we have to begin at the beginning, that is, with human beings themselves, once they have become the head, the king, of their own kingdom.
