Do you really believe that?
Do you really believe that I-M is the solution for all problems?... |
I don't believe that, because of the inherent nature of the human mind. Buddhism explains it rather well; but any discipline involving meditation also addresses the same point. It is also something you will discover experientially for yourself, if you meditate.
The human mind has a tendency to constantly disturb itself - for example, by producing negative thoughts. Most of us have very limited control over our minds - for example, if I say "for the next 10 seconds, don't think of a pink elephant", you will NOT be able to not think of a pink elephant.
Therefore true IM mastery, or anything close, isn't possible unless you have perfect or near-perfect control of your thoughts. But if you did have near-perfect control, you would be enlightened, like Buddha or Jesus. By which time, manifesting empty parking lots will not interest you much. Although if there was a need, you WOULD walk on water, heal the blind, raise the dead etc.
And if everybody, as you say, DOES master IM, then basically the entire human race would be enlightened, and yes, I would say that by then, all people in the world would be happy and healthy, and that there wouldn't be no war or injustice anymore.
Don't hold your breath waiting, though.
