Question: We have been seeing more and more world leaders trying to emulate Trump. The Prime Minister of India when visiting America unveiled his vision to make India great again. In New Zealand, one of the coalition party leaders, 80-year-old Winston Peters, during a recent speech referred to his party as a true nationalist party who will declare a war on one of the most concerning and insidious cancers in our society today, the underlying creep of woke social engineering. We will make New Zealand first again and take back our country. In Australia, a leading far-right activist politician, Jacinta Price, during the current election campaign declared her party would also try to make Australia great again.
Why would democratic countries like Australia and New Zealand choose to vote for narcissistic, psychopathic, egotistic, corrupt leaders who can lead their countries on a destructive, divisive, and dysfunctional path away from freedom and prosperity?

Well, if you want to step back from this and take an overall view, you can only understand when you understand what we have explained about the duality consciousness. There are always two polar opposites, and people are pulled towards one or the other. Because all societies on earth, even the democratic nations, are still very much affected by the duality consciousness, what happens is that you have societies that first go to one extreme, and then when they see that this is too much, this is too extreme, they start going towards the other.
You have in the democratic world the Second World War, Nazism, Fascism, you have the Cold War, Communism, where you saw that the western world saw the fallacy, the limitations of Fascism, and therefore, started going towards the opposite dualistic extreme, which is what we could call a woke culture, where you think that anything goes and anything should be accepted or tolerated. You can have the extreme intolerance of Fascism, you can have the extreme tolerance of whatever you want to call it. Many of the modern democracies have for some time now been moving in that direction, and some are now beginning to experience a reaction among the people to this, which means that the pendulum starts swinging back, and that is why you see these leaders that take a more conservative, autocratic approach. The only way out of this is of course Christ discernment, which does not accept the intolerance and does not accept the extreme tolerance, but seeks a middle way where you discern between the individual and the whole. This goes back to what Mother Mary and Portia talked about, this tension between the interests of the individual, the rights of the individual, and the interests of the whole.
And you can see this outplayed in many different ways, including that in a Fascist, autocratic country, the interest of the state is elevated as being more important than the individual. But in some of the democracies, the interest of the individual and their right to be different have been championed to the point where this actually sets aside or overrides the interests of the whole, or certainly other groups in society. It is one thing to say that people should be tolerant of those who are different. It is another thing to demand that people in the majority adapt to a small minority. There needs to be a balance to be found, and this is what has not been found yet by any democracy in the ideal sense, even though some are of course closer than others. But Australia and New Zealand are not as close to finding balance as certain other democracies, which is why you see these swings. Obviously, the United States is another example where they are not as close to finding a balance. But as I said, no country has found the ideal balance, and you can always debate whether there is an ideal balance.
There certainly is no static balance, because as we move into the golden age, countries will have to evolve and adapt, and this requires a constant evaluation: “Have we gone too far to this side? Have we gone too far to that side?” Once again, as I have said many times before, I do not have a fixed model of what a society should be like in the golden age. There will be constant growth, constant transcendence, constant evolution, and it is not so that I envision that this tension between the individual and the whole, that there is one particular model that will solve it, and this will be it for a thousand years. This is going to be an issue that will always be there, because it is part of life that there is a creative tension, even the tension between the expanding force of the Father and the contracting force of the Mother, which is a dynamic tension that brings life forward.
