why is everyone promoting meditation?

[Jim Kent +]

I'm sorry you've had to experience that, Jim. It must have been very painful and frustrating. 

I don't know what it's going to take, or what it could take for these tendency of our society to change. I just wish things were different.

Thanks Ray!

It hasn't been all "bad", but you're right, for many years my life has been excruciatingly frustrating, but I'm finally getting closer to where I want / need to be.

Regarding what needs to happen for there to be significant change in how society treats itself, I can only hope that as more and more of contemporary Humanity start to have regular mystical-experiences, due to being Dual-Activated, then the general awareness of such aspects of our existence will hopefully rise exponentially also.

In the mean time, perhaps we can help a bit by calling out such injustices and hypocrisy such as I experienced and educate people as to the fundamental flaws and negatives of how the psychiatric system abuses people with their "help".

I have to chuckle, one of my primary regular activities that is fundamental to remaining grounded and balanced is silent meditation!

In my experience, it's not meditation that's dangerous - it's the effing shrinks!
