Jacob Rees-Mogg has something in common with Mohandas
Gandhi
“The Victorians”, the book by Jacob Rees-Mogg, has
widely succeeded in irritating literary critics and professional historians.
The author, a conservative politician, had the
inacceptable (to some) idea of writing a book about the moral, constructive and
idealist side of Victorianism.
Rees-Mogg dares speak from a refreshingly personal
point of view of the glorious side of the United Kingdom during 19th century.
His 440-page volume was published in 2019 with the subtitle “Twelve Titans Who
Forged Britain”.
Why did the book get severely attacked? There may be one
basic reason. According to globalism, no one should love his country or its
History too much. It is “absurd” to defend his nation as an independent state.
No individual is supposed to resist international money, global consumerism or
the destruction of local culture.
“The love of nations is wrong in my opinion; therefore
it should be suppressed”, as some globalists think. Writing a book on the
positive aspects of the history of one’s country is therefore something to be
rejected in the name of good taste and post-modernity.
From a theosophical perspective, however, universal
brotherhood needs sovereign nations and cannot prosper except with mutual
respect among ethnicities.[1]
Planetary fraternity requires the system of checks and
balances provided by strong independent - and interdependent - communities.
That is the idea inspiring the United Nations, fragile as the UN may seem to be
by now.
Reality is complex, and the British Empire did not
make mistakes only. It largely preserved cultural diversity and liberty of
thought. Its project had many a bright aspect, and its accomplishments deserve
being known and studied, side by side with its mistakes. The same applies to
every country around the world.
The very idea of sovereign nations is being questioned
- and derided - in our century. Yet trying to suppress nations or the love for
them is no brotherly attitude, and shows no respect for facts. Any strong attempt
to suppress nationalities could only lead to more acts of violence. It would
stimulate organized crime and sickly reactions as xenophobia and racism.[2]
Good sense invites us to remember that human karma is
not just a causeless chaos. The accumulated experience of mankind organizes
itself along ethnical lines and national scenarios.
Human communities have their own unique chains of
causes and effects. Local cultures and the circles of national karma and
affinity cannot be suddenly obliterated from the outside. The way to planetary
brotherhood is not to dream of annihilating the independence of countries or
erasing social classes. It consists instead of stimulating goodwill and
cooperation among strong communities.
Mahatma Gandhi wrote:
“It is impossible for one to be internationalist
without being a nationalist. Internationalism is possible only when nationalism
becomes a fact, i.e., when peoples
belonging to different countries have organized themselves and are able to act
as one man.”
He explained:
“It is not nationalism that is evil, it is the
narrowness, selfishness, exclusiveness which is the bane of modern nations,
which is evil. Each wants to profit at the expense of, and rise on the ruin of,
the other. Indian nationalism has struck a different path. It wants to organize
itself or to find full self-expression for the benefit and service of humanity
at large.” [3]
The independence of nations is something to be
protected not only for the sake of preserving freedom or strengthening
democracy and the cultural heritage of communities, but for spiritual reasons
as well.
A globalist dictatorship based on collective
mind-domination via electronic gadgets corresponds to a sad dystopia whose
danger was accurately described by George Orwell. The universal reign of
political correctness is not welcome to the growth of human soul. The bad news
for negative-thinkers is that such a nightmare has no chance of actually taking
place.
By being a friend of one’s own nation, one loves
mankind best. Loyalty to our country is the first step in being a friend of all
nations. Strengthening the local community is part and parcel of universal
brotherhood.
NOTES:
[1] The fact that theosophy includes love and respect for
countries and does not promote the unwise idea of suppressing cultural
diversity is documented in Section Three of “The Key to Theosophy”, by Helena
Blavatsky, for instance; and in Letter LXXXI, p. 384, of “The Mahatma Letters”.
[2] As to the contemporary scene of materialistic dispute
among nations around the world, it is worthwhile to examine the various books
by James Rickards, including “The Road to Ruin”.
