It was completely mindblowing...I am now in a vegetative state...and a pretty damning account of how the Western mind has "developed" in the last century.<BR/><BR/>However, as an antidote, I suggest reading some of the Dalai Lama's books, which strip our minds back to the basics and teaches the West a thing or two about Tibetan Buddhist psychology, which revolves around love and compassion for others...absolutely STREETS ahead of the west. They've been studying the human mind in Tibet for thousands of years, but these studies have been closed off to the rest of the world til now. While I was in the Tibetan area, Western psychologists and psychiatrists were coming in from all over the world to learn from the Tibetan people. Even the average Tibetan person knows more about being mentally strong than the average Western psychologist. <BR/><BR/>I'm not in any way religious, but Tibetan Buddhism also appeals to the secular, because it is also part psychology.<BR/><BR/>Thanks once again, Alkom!!! Has changed the way I view society for good!Lisa Loves Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06220405558442073460noreply@blogger.com
