Ireland.
Answer from Saint Germain:
This is indeed the consequence of global politics, namely the philosophy
of scientific materialism, which brings up an entire generation to believe
that life has no purpose and meaning. And so you see, my beloved, there
are those who have grown up believing that there is no point in striving
to improve yourself. For what is the point if you are just a highly
evolved animal who will one day disappear when the physical body draws
its last breath?
You can find no purpose in life unless you have a spiritual perspective.
But you can find no true purpose in life unless you have a firm understanding
of the reality of reincarnation, where you realize that your soul can
rise to higher levels in succeeding embodiments, eventually ascending
permanently to the spiritual realm.
So what you see in the richest nations in the world is that as they
have become more secular and more materialistic. You have a growing
percentage of the population who have no sense of purpose and meaning.
And thus, they take advantage of the welfare system to its fullest.
And they live a life where you might say that they are nothing more
than animals or vegetables.
Now my beloved, the problem here is that the power elite does not want
to change this condition. For their biggest strategy is to keep the
entire population trapped in a materialistic mindset that allows them
to manipulate the population in this age. And so they are willing to
absorb the cost, so to speak, of having a certain percentage of the
people live off the welfare system.
Because they know full well that it is a problem they have created through
their secularism and materialism. But they also believe that their philosophy
is correct. Or, at least, they are willing to use that philosophy as
they will use any philosophy to suppress the entire population. And
so, for them the welfare system is simply the cost of doing business—of
keeping the entire society locked in materialism.
This, of course, is something that we of the Ascended Host would love
to see change. But on the other hand, the highest priority is not to
get the people off welfare but to get the entire society off the materialism
that is the cause of it.
But truly, my beloved, if you had a universal spiritual culture, people
would see the value of improving themselves. People would see the value
of living a life where you come out more mature and with greater understanding
and attainment than when you started life. And so living an entire lifetime
at the same level of consciousness would simply be abhorrent to people
who had a clear sense of purpose and direction.
