The goal 2

The goal of mind development is seen with suspicion by those who are not informed. In China, for example, the Tibetan traditions are suppressed, even now when the government has accepted capitalism and is taking part in international diplomacy. Also in Tibet, some practices have been prohibited now and then. In Palestine 2000 years ago, the idea of a spiritual king made the real king order the killing of all newborn boys.

This suspicion is unfounded, however. Mind training is not aggressive. 

Mind is the medium of freedom, but this freedom can be used for oppression. It is perfectly possible to create problems out of nowhere. History give many examples. These days we are reminded of the World War 2, which started 70 years ago. From mind point of view it is strange to see how political conflicts were accepted, and how nations entered actual combat.

Whatever mind is used for, mind itself is always pure as an empty monitor. Anything can be written on it. So the oppression is always adventitious. If we look again, we will see it is unfounded and unjustified.
