| 520 3# - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | The author believes that, to avoid disintegration, social advances toward more inclusive political structures must be accompanied by a moral advance toward more universal values. This article discusses the three stages of humanity's global political unification as described in the Bahá'í writings: confederation, federation, commonwealth. Since these forms of government are outer expressions of inner levels of collective unified consciousness, each of these forms of government also marks a stage of humanity's deepening inner unification. Of particular note is the discussion of the changing concept of competition. If human beings are to create a united world, they must stop competing selfishly and instead compete selflessly to forge cooperative structures that will benefit all humanity. |
