Your Thoughts Do Not Create Your Reality, Stupid.

[zenmaster]

Leaders introducing confusing notions into society with regards to understanding the nature of self and philosophical/ethical principles is a failure, not a success, no matter how well intentioned and sincerely offered. It's a form of escapism or finger pointing. Due to lack of experience, the unconscious of the would-be initiate is incapable of discerning only resonating with what empowering notions may be evoked from the finger pointing. However, real decisions are then made based on fantasy. These decisions necessarily affect self and society.
Generally, the ethical idea would be to promote concepts which aid "polarization". Magical thinking is indeed pathological and yet enhusiastically supported by some new western subcultures.
