Broadening the perspective and letting in more information is the way to solve problems, rather than try to work out a solution within a given framework.
Eventually there is no truth except the full truth.
The society is based on combination of truth and power, and the effects are sometimes strange with unlikely winners and losers. The ideal society is based only on truth.
One reason why the society is not already based on truth is that truth is difficult to see. There is a natural problem. This is traditionally increased by human secrecy, bad communication and will to deceive.
However, with the increasing interest in the workings of mind, the last obstacle to awareness is challenged.
Understanding the different functions of mind, including the extremely elusive but powerful long term effects, will clear the way to a just and free world.

Subjective reactions 2
We can use mind for theoretical knowledge or for reality production, and happiness is an example. It is a difference between hearing a talk about happiness and to be happy. We want the real happiness, not just a theory.
Many ideas about becoming happy are quite lofty, including external reality, other persons and sometimes God or other powers.
But happiness is a mind-mind process. Unhappiness is also a mind-mind process.
So, how to be unhappy?
One efficient method is to see faults and problems, and blame others, God and whatever. The problem is not that we observe problems, but that we blame others. For example, being disappointed with God gives tremendous negative backlash.
In many cultures it is quite accepted to blame others. It is true that others often are a nuisance, but if we blame them we get problems ourselves. The negativity we assemble towards others is after all assembled in our own mind, and there it stays. It even grows and increases in power, and eventually it will burst and feed directly in our mind as the most extreme experience of unhappiness. That is not nice!
On the other hand, if we have a positive attitude towards others and try to solve even the most impossible problems, we get a potential for happiness. And when this potential matures we will experience real happiness.
If we know the power of mind, we can look out for all impulses to think, say or do negative things and stop them as fast as possible.

The liberator 2
The power of mind is normally used to suppress the power of mind. We are born that way, and often family and society supports this suppression.
The extreme opposite, a totally free and open mind is spontaneously quite difficult to endure for most individuals. It seems to have no stable points, nothing to relate to and nothing to refer to.
We can organise our life in many different ways, but if we choose one way we should stick to that. So we get conventions which are good in practical situations, but not good in any absolute meaning. These conventions can block access to the full truth, in particular if they contain ideas about ideologies or religious dogmas which can not be questioned.
Conventions are no block to total reality if everything can be questioned, and if we see the conventions as just temporary conventions and nothing more.
For mind itself it is difficult to look through its own limitations. We try to learn facts, rather than learn to question every observation. This difficulty is just a transitory stage, happily.
If we open mind and see that it can be used not only for routine operations about daily habits and material support, we find a state of harmony which is stronger and safer than any good feelings we might have with a mind blocked in suppression.
Then the power of mind will be used by mind to explore the full power of mind. For the individual this can be experienced as being born again.
The liberation of mind is a task for every individual. Others can not do it for us, but others can open our eyes and others can help remove disturbing external factors like dictators and irritating people.
