What do you think when Jesus was crucified? And he forgave those who did it, because "they didn't know what they were doing". It doesn't do any good to anyone to kill other, but they are ignorant. They don't know better. We only have to accept that hard truth of life. We can't change them from ignorant, to being a person with knowledge of what they truly are. Maybe that killing at some points make them see how bad it is and they get awakened, or maybe they construct their own hell for the "afterlife". Who knows?

@Aimblack Exactly. We create evil by believing something is good or bad. In reality nothing has any attribute of good or bad, it just is. Like saying that a Lion is bad because it has to eat a deer.

Thanks @Torkys for sharing that!!! Appreciated. I need to do that, really. Thanks again. :-)

God is good, it means that even what it seems bad for us, is good. We have no idea what is good for consciousness.

And in the Bible it says good created evil too, the only problem church only teach what is convenient for them or I have no idea why they do that.

You are trying to understand God with the mind. It's not possible.

I don't remember when I was a Kid doing that kind of question. I began to question reality when I was a teen. I remember my first thought about identity, was... how was my identity created? Why I am the way I am?

@moon777light It's like meditation. When you notice you are doing it, observe what you are doing. Just by doing that you will stop. Don't worry if it takes longer to realize that you are doing it. With training you will be noticing when you do it more frequently, until it stops.

@TruthSeeker47 That's the key.

@TruthSeeker47 It depends on the person. If you have knowledge (spiritual knowledge) maybe it takes not so much time to find an equilibrium. In my case, when I have it I didn't know much about true spiritual awakening. I was more on the new age stuff and christianity. It took me like 1 month to recover and to be able to go to work, and then like 3 to 6 months to say I am out of that. But, I must tell you that even though my mind is more quiet and still now, I still have thoughts that I don't feel good for me. Negative thoughts, judgmental, etc. The main difference is that now I just observe them and I know we are only able to get thoughts, we don't create them. So we can choose which one are better for us and ignore the bad ones. Buddha explained in the 5 aggregates (Skandhas) which make the person, that thoughts are like one of the senses. Like the eye. The mind "sees" the thoughts that appear in us. I think it explains very well what thoughts are, in my experience. Here there's more info about it: https://www.thoughtco.com/the-skandhas-450192

@Nahm @TruthSeeker47 I never knew anyone who didn't have a psychological breakdown to get awakened.

@moon777light did you try mindful meditation? Observing your thoughts? I do it from a long time, and I am trying also to be free from some compulsive things that I do, because there's a thought, or because I see something I just go and buy it. Or I just see food and I want to eat when I am not hungry. So after mindful meditation, I can notice when the urge appears, and I can observe that happening but it gives me the opportunity to not do that. It's like training the ego to do what YOU really want and not what she wants... Hope this helps

Big Pharma won't allow that to happen.

Nice

@TruthSeeker47 Look for mindfulness meditation on youtube. I also have problems with memory and that helped me a lot. Leo has a video about it too...

@Spacious Yes, that's true and interesting.

Maybe this Leo video can help?

Can you share that video? Can I find it in youtube?

@Outer And I think Russia is not communist either. (edit: Russia has a mixed economy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_economy )

Ok, that's a different story. Thanks @Outer :-)

I am not supporter of communism, but I have a question I don't get. Why do you say that communism has failed if China is the biggest economy now in the world? I also was reading that Vietnam is a communist country and is having a really good economy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Vietnam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_China The socialist market economy of China is the world's second largest economy by nominal GDP[1][20][21] and the world's largest economy by purchasing power parity according to the IMF, although China's National Bureau of Statistic denies this claim. Until 2015, China was the world's fastest-growing major economy, with growth rates averaging 10% over 30 years. I don't understand that part... thanks for clarifying. From my part it sounds like a belief that is being repeated by conservative media. But, I really want to be open about those claims.

I found this interesting https://www.wildmind.org/blogs/on-practice/mind-fake-news

The problem with communism is that It was installed via Revolution, by the force and war. And that's the main problem, how do you contain the ones that are against it? Killing them, doing very bad things. I agree with Osho, Capitalism is failing right now under our very eyes. Communism hasn't failed because it was never tried. Russia is not a communist country. They are totalitarian governments that they have nothing to do with communism. It was propaganda, that's easy to see. Communism is an utopia very difficult to achieve as Leo said because of our egos.
