What if this whole condo scandal in Vancouver wherein Carney is bailing out the developers is actually a ruse to take away rules, regulations and taxes from said developers? They wouldn’t be in such terrible straits so they say because of these things. So taking those away they can build willy nilly where and how they want without enough regulations. So we’re mad about the bail out when we should be careful about what rules and regulations and taxes might be “ameliorated” to suit them… Just a random thought. My mind is now going into a off position. Thank you for putting up with me.
what if...
After this I'm turning off my mind. For a long time. Painting. That's all.
You are quite likely right.... re-directing the mind is the most helpful thing to do now, I think. I practice it every day. Enjoy your painting! I am a beginner at painting but plan to focus almost entirely on that from now on.
It's good to be vigilant on the deviousness, and you are also quite correct on the absolute need to observe, note and identify such patterns, speak out, then detach and feed your soul.
Haven't listened to the Desmet talk yet. His mass psychosis theory is a good one, but he seems to attribute it to a spontaneous combustion, ignoring all the marketing and other tweaks fomenting the hysteria.... all the "amelioration" seemed to him to be a result rather than a cause...
