I have thought of this question in the following manner:

Our leaders are very important to our lives, in a way they have an overarching control over us and their influence has more impact on life than is generally understood or accepted. Their reigns can have a more direct and immediate impact than even that of a supernatural controller, or the power(s) whom are prayed to.

Much like parents they are in a position to contribute to our lives. However, political leaders have a wider influence on the overall quality and level of functioning of the societies within which we exist. As humans we normally behave like social animals and for that reason need an interwoven set of relationships as well as a hierarchy within which to evolve.

In the recent past, populations were easily be massacred close to annihilation on account of leaders’ aspirations, they owned our lives as citizens, their past lives and instincts are still with us. Those past lives invariably are counted by men as having died in wars since conquests were so prevalent for being an exaggerated or altruistic form of the survival instincts.

Possibly, women have also developed tendencies symptomatic of abandonment from losing spouses over and over in their past lives. In addition, these situations also affected the children begotten during war times, further complicating human karmic states.

They are empowered and endowed by nature to exercise her control over us in different formats, just like demi-gods regulating different facets of our existence. Powerful and influential leaders are much like local controllers. As socio-revolutionaries they are wired to seek ways to influence and direct society. The signs of such leadership, instincts or skills can many times be seen early on in their lives.

These regional controllers are per their personal interaction with Nature Supreme evolving competitively all along the course of history to irresistibly ascend in power life after life. Others also evolve or even devolve following their instincts along their particular areas of interest(s). Birth after birth, we resume the rehashing of the same habits and compulsions for better or for worse.

It is obviously observable that the world population is divided along the different races and this by Nature; less obvious is the segregation of human societies along sets of behaviors. The leaders are in a position to influence those behaviors. At the same time, they are also of the same stock of the population they govern, hence the importance of the leader’s national background.

A psychically advanced and observant one pays attention to family of birth since that affectionate environment is so present within us, still they ought to also have a higher understanding these other social circumstances, and beyond just the reactionary attitude of the general public.

Their positions can invariably bring us destitution or complete pandemonium but it can also bring prosperity, peace and abundance. Ultimately they facilitate this plane as a learning ground to promote our evolution or understanding of these material situations.

When conscientious they can greatly benefit citizenry, which signifies understanding and successfully executing their position as promoters of social welfare and consciousness. To the contrary, when they are flawed to their core exhibiting varying degrees of personality and character pathologies they effectively deliver and institutionalize social scourges.

In an ideal world parents know better and one would respect them on a pedestal. Similarly leaders would also command respect, but only by knowing their past live(s) can we understand more broadly who they are and the motivations behind their behaviors. That can even allow us to predict with a certain precision what type of leader one will be, and that will not alter their natural acting according to instincts or their nature.

Our leaders direct planetary materialistic currents albeit under strict supervision from the environment, by this they are participating in the cosmic order and are very material to the existence of anyone who has to be part and parcel of world history even for some time.

Such leaders are also the ones who are involved in psycho-social orientations of the communities, in the forms of ideological and even religious institutions. They can evenly direct hordes of men to their doom for accomplishment of a variety of wills, or otherwise promote their spiritual evolution.

From primal survival schemes, societies are now waging on the international scale, so some leaders not only determine the future of their nations but also that of others based on their axis or magnitude of influence. That can imply further development for those other people or accomplished mayhem; those weaker systems can be obliterated by proxy as developed countries or ideologies compete for hegemony trying to expand their spheres of influence.
