You probably noticed it there are more and more cases of people involved in ''love and light'' philosophy, telling everyone how good they are, etc. The problem is, they seem to be incredibly naive individuals, manipulated by forces they do not really understand. Whenever anyone wants to challenge them or discuss something of practical merit, they shut down and/or resort to passing judgment on others they view as ''less developed'' or ''those who still have not found the light''. The principle of equality is actually a fascist view of the world with a rosy face attached to it. You cannot discuss certain issues, because they are ''too negative'', everyone is ''equal'', we do not eat meat, etc.. not only does it seem dystopian, it also presents itself as another example of ''group-think'', the mindset which seriously limits one's horizons, leading to creation of rather dull people devoid of any passion. The only difference is, they will throw a rose at you rather than beat you. The mindset is still the same.

You claim that the namaste crowd are mind control. Well what are you? The one presenting groups to pick on, round them up. Them and us mentality.
If someone is not part of the love and light crowd, I suppose the love and light crowd would think of them as different... No?
Different people, groups... Same thing.
But nice try at deflecting..

That's lame.
So it is your thread, do you have anything to add?

Excellent observations and well done to you for making your observations public.
I have had serious reservations regarding the " Namaste " crowd for years .
They are a cult in the making .

Why don't you start a thread entitled:
The 'hate' crowd-another mind control layer.

So man has advanced to this perfect existance through competition, is it perfect then in your opinion?
Your life may be advanced because of war but as a species how do you think we are doing?

Yes, label the ones who DARE to question anything ''haters'' or trolls, et al. This has nothing to do with hate. Nobody here hates anyone. This is the problem with ''love and light'', anything even remotely questioning LOVE AND LIGHT is branded as HATE. Love and light are great, of course they are, but these are just generic terms and if you want to mediate your life away locked in a room somewhere, that's your choice. Just don't preach this stuff to others if they are not inclined to listen because they deem this philosophy naive, boring and - quite frankly - cookie-cutter with no spice to life.

No, it isn't perfect. but it gets incrementally better as the general populace struggles for their bit.
Will the next step in human evolution be because we just sat there and let the marshmallowy sweetness of love slowly overtake us into higher planes of consciousness, or will it be part of a technological struggle to create a more marketable and desirable product that has better haptic control than those old clunker tech objects of last year? What if next years xPhone was wearable and the year after was applied to the skin like a transfer and controlled by thought. Then the next years one allowed us to send emotions and sensations as well as sight & sound. We'd already be achieving what the meditating monks have been trying for, for milennia (without much success).

HUMANITY is judged on a scale of our technology? Wow, materialism much?
