My explaining the MIND and bits of its workings is not "personal meaning", but an attempt to educate and share what exists in a reality that is Esoteric. There will be those who intuitively comprehend what I post, and some who will not be able to do so. I am not responsible for either, and share what I do because I am able to do so.

Your are of course free to be disrespectful, or not?

Peace
The frequency with which you use MIND just seems to prove, that with this thread you are merely tryeing to point out that you just learned another word.
YouŽll learn more in second grade, I promise you.

But it was and is a problem for you.
So, to quote your own words, youŽre an Extremist Right Wing Nutcase.

Btw, I cut and pasted that from your uttering above so you canŽt say I wrote it.
YOU did.

Of those Americans who voted for Obama, few are old enough to have lived during the reign of Stalin and therefore do not remember nor do they realize how many millions of his own people he murdered to institute his "change" for Russia. A destruction of Russia that the people are still struggling today to rise above, and that "change" took place in 1917.

Few Americans are old enough to remember how many millions of Cambodians were murdered by Ho Chi Menh when the Left-leaning Americans caused America to lose heart, and were instrumental in causing America to hand Vietnam over to the Communists.

Apparently a large number of Americans forget the millions of teachers, professionals, and business leaders Mao imprisoned and murdered when he "changed" China, and brought the benefits of a common suit of clothes to the people of China. People forget how Mao taught the children to chant praises to the "Chairman", and how he encouraged the teenagers to kill and destroy the leaders of thousands of villages who did not quote from the little red book.

Those individuals whose natural Psychology causes them to fear the Yang energy within their MIND realms [that is, this fear causes them to desire a sense of big government and lots of rules and regulations to give them a sense of security] are naturally vulnerable to the indoctrination of Communism and Marxist precepts of "fairness" and "justice". Those who are short on Spirituality and thus limited in having access to Conscience, Discretion and Knowledge, are easily indoctrinated by those whose ignorance of the Law of Karma encourages them to "think" that they can "control" life better than Life itself.

These are my thoughts, what are yours?

Peace
Justice and fairness can't be wrong precepts. If something is either just or fair, then that something is ethically right. What is ethicallly right is intrinsically good. To be against what is intrinisically good is by definition wrong.

Karl Marx' Communist Manifesto was published in 1848.

Let's look at a piece of a document which was earlier than that:

Quote:

So justice or a just society is what America is supposed to be about. Justice and fairness are inextricably linked.

It seems you are opposed to the very precepts that are foundational to America.

The problem with communism is not these precepts, but that, in practice, it fails to achieve them. The social contract model is based on these values.
