Two words for Eastern Budhists: Rasputin and psychic. Western philosophical
thought means that I can thought experiment my way through what is psychic.
Really, the conclusion that I've reached with sociopathic-peasant girl is
that she used her sex appeal to make trustworthy in my own mind the notion
that psychic is real while she on the other hand doesn't believe in psychic
at all... and she doesn't believe that balance is the sixth sense, either.
Chinese government officials wount endorse anything which suggests that
information can be transferred by psychic means, especially government
information. Eastern Budhists are resolute in the idea that denial of self
leads to balance in nature but they need to soften and calibrate. What is
the best advice that I can give to Eastern Budhists at this point? There is
a razor sharp distinction between morality and logic. Eastern Budhists
typically set themselves up as being the moral compass of the societies that
they are established in. If they could demonstrate a suitable application
of their outlook by using logic instead, then they would have a sticking
point to use against the governments who oppose them.
