    Enjoyed the 70 points to read.
    I’ve Meditated and Prayed for 11 years now, about the same time in sobriety from Alcoholism.
    A strong Awareness has come into play in the last year about the danger of Capitalism.
    I try to spread the message of awareness and how Capitalism doesn’t pertain to reality.
    It’s difficult to watch humanity in the dark, knowing the deception works to disable the mind. The fear it’s power so entrenched.
    I always pursue a peaceful mind, find myself steadily moving towards truth.
    Thank you for sharing with…

  3. Indeed!

    To add:
    In fact a widespread capitalist practice is to promote addiction. Any addiction. An addicted customer is a dream customer of any seller. We live in an era of addictions. gadgets, bottled water, sex, new clothes… you name it. Anything can become an object of addiction.
