If we look at evolution, it is progressive in nature. Everything develops from simple to complex.
This idea was first clearly formulated by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck at the beginning of the 19th century. He introduced the concept of gradation - a stepwise increase in the level of organization of living beings. According to Lamarck, life began with the simplest forms, which gradually became more complex: from polyps to worms, then to insects, fish, amphibians, birds and, finally, to mammals. He considered the driving force to be the internal “striving for perfection,” which he believed was laid down, as he believed, from above.
Human consciousness also evolves. The same process as a caterpillar emerges from an egg, then a butterfly emerges from the caterpillar.
A person has not only a body, but also a consciousness. If the body, it practically does not evolve, we do not grow a third arm or a trunk does not appear.
The consciousness that penetrates the body at the moment of conception is the so-called monad. It develops from life to life, acquiring some skills and developing qualities.
And we say that the body is mortal, and the monad is immortal, it is she who comes to our world of Malkut to gain experience.
Hence the term caste is not a figurative expression, and not an expression as a way to discredit someone. This is a purely evolutionary process.
And it exists regardless of whether you accept the caste system or not.
Determining caste can be very simple. A person has a cocoon - this is the astral body of a person. And there is an assemblage point on the cocoon. The assemblage point is like a rat - it is where a person has the most energy.
A person has 7 chakras. And if he has the most energy in the first chakra, the muladhara chakra, then his assemblage point is located there. And the assemblage point assembles for a person his picture of the world.
Hence we say that people are not equal. And this is not racism, this is just a statement of fact. Someone calmly solves and creates complex equations in their mind. And some people have difficulty remembering the multiplication table.
And this is neither good nor bad. It’s just that everyone solves their own problems at their own level.
Therefore, all the ideas that let's make everyone equal is a utopia that leads to mistakes. And nature does not like mistakes; for example, let’s look at what happened to a state like the USSR, where the idea of universal equality was promoted. Of course, built on blood and concentration camps. Because practice, as always, differed from beautiful theory. In practice, there was also a hierarchy. Party nomenklatura, military, they had real privileges: the best apartments, access to closed shops, treatment in specialized institutions. This was contrary to the official ideology. Even with formal equality, access to goods and services depended on connections, acquaintances, and the ability to “get” something through informal channels.
This also had a negative impact on the country's economy. Equality meant, in addition to the destruction of class differences, also strict equalization - leveling out differences in income and opportunities. This killed the motivation for work, innovation and professional growth, since the difference in remuneration for different contributions was formally smoothed out.
And gradually the country's economy began to lag behind the economies of other countries. It was the economic crisis in the USSR in 1989–1991 that became one of the key factors that contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union. It also led to a sharp drop in the standard of living of the population in the post-Soviet space.
Now let's look at another approach, which involves the caste approach, although it is not called that. It is described in the book “My Years at GE” by Jack Welch.
He is an American entrepreneur and one of the most influential leaders in the history of corporate management. When Welch came to GE, its capitalization was approximately $12–14 billion. By the time he left, it had exceeded $400 billion. At some point, GE even became the most valuable company in the world.
How did he do it?
Firstly, I sold something that did not bring profit, or brought only minimal profit. And he bought, modernized, and invested in things that brought increased profits.
Secondly, he introduced HR management into the company. He created fierce internal competition in the “20-70-10” system.
20% are the best, those who did an excellent job, moved in their directions, improving their work. They were paid 2 times more than others. 70% are average workers who had average performance indicators. They had standard wages and sometimes bonuses.
10% are those who could not cope with their work for some reason and were fired.
That is, it would seem that everyone works at the same enterprise. Everyone has equal opportunities - as we all love. But some people cope, some cope better, and some don’t cope. This is an artificial gradation of people’s natural abilities.
And an example of how a man, a brilliant manager, skillfully used this for the benefit of the company and the people who worked there. Because people were motivated to improve themselves and their skills, which bore fruit.
Therefore, the caste system was and will be, not because people came up with it that way, but because that’s how it really is.
And this is simply the evolution of consciousness. Which gradually grows from caste to caste, gaining experience and qualities that are needed.
Moreover, each caste has its own experience. And it is a significant difference from experience in another caste. And without having worked in one caste, you will not be able to move to another. Because you can't fool evolution.
And this rule is still followed in India.
In the Indian caste system, membership in a particular social group (jati) is determined by birth and is hereditary. Formally, a person remains in the jati in which he was born, even if he radically changes his profession, place of residence, or even religion.
The idea that one can “move” to another caste during one’s lifetime contradicts its very essence. In the Hindu tradition, caste is seen as a result of past births (karma). It is believed that one who follows the rules of his caste may be born in a higher caste in his future life, and a violator - in a lower one.
Because thanks to the revolution, the concept of caste has been blurred. That is no concept of its essence.
But the point is not inequality. The point is simply different possibilities of consciousness. But this does not mean that the first caste is worse than the second, and the second is worse than the third. There is no such thing as worse/better in this system. Because this is a progressive path of development for everyone. And everyone in their place is worthy of respect. What does the fourth caste understand? Because it is she who begins to work consciously with her consciousness, identifying herself and her body.
And it is in the fourth caste that the magician can look through all his previous incarnations, and see that he himself was the same in the third, second and first caste. But to see this, you need to grow up to it.
