There are three obstacles to a better life in a mind based world view. They are own defilement, social obstacles and difficulties in understanding the principles of mind.
One of the principles of mind is that we get by giving. This is contrary to a materially based world view, where we lose what we give. But we get joy by giving joy, as we easily can test. The time lap between giving and getting is short in this case.
In other cases the time lap between cause and effect is long. This makes it difficult to understand the principles of mind.
In a mind based world view we can trust in that which is confirmed. The best confirmation is truth, which is pure mind. The second best confirmation is from other people or society. Others know more than we. But society is always biased. Social confirmation might be an obstacle.
Own defilement in mind are the primary obstacle. These defilement can be very difficult to get rid of. We often stick to our preconceptions and habits.
