....many people who are NOT into SGI, their mind is apt to go into "catastrophizing mode".
"When faced with neutral, or unknown future events, their minds go to the negative scenario, and imagine it might happen, thus making the person with a catastrophising mindset anxious.
So a person like this is on a new job. He or she is doing a very good job, yet their self-doubt creeps into their minds, and they start fearing they are going to get fired, so they are constantly worried and anxious.
When a person who already has that tendency to worry, anxiety, imagining worst event scenarios is recruited into a group such as SGI, they can get trapped. SGI preys on anxiety and any tendency to imagine worst event scenarios.
The group teaches themtthat more chanting will stop the bad thing from happening.
SGI blocks development of inner resources and strategies, and creates more superstition, which is what Ikeda wants.
What is actually emancipatory is when people with that vulnerability learn how to teach themselves that their own focus on potential negative events is the problem.
SGI really is a mind-trap, not so easy to get out of.

Oh, my goodness! This is really helpful advice for me right now. I had a lot of self doubt, and it is so true that SGI blocks development , and creates more superstition! This is true!

Former presidential candidate Rick Santorum, a Catholic, also made comments earlier this year that Gabbard’s religion “doesn’t align with the constitutional foundation of the U.S. government.”
“It is stunning that some people in Congress would so arrogantly thumb their nose at the Bill of Rights,” Gabbard wrote in response in a statement to the media. “When I volunteered to put my life on the line in defense of our country, no one asked me what my religion was.”
WHAT DOES THE BILL OF RIGHT AS TO DO WITH THIS ? Anyone knows ?

Not every body is saying GREAT she can do what she wants TULSI
I saw the movie Lincoln 3 times now ........just love everything about it
in 1865 when you where putting your hands on the bible .........IT MET SOMETHING for everyone ....NORTH SOUTH republican democrats
Now Tulsi will swear on the Bhagavad gita (she is from a sect that take that Krishna as an historical figure....that came on earth 5000 years ago )
there is not much.....or no ..... archeological discoveries .....that can prove he is an actual historical peson as Jesus ...or Abraham ...or the Budha
I have read it a hundred time ..(IN THE VAISHNAVA TRADIDIONS......BASICALLY ITS THE STORY OF GOD (KRISHNA ) TELLING HIS DISCIPLE ARJUNA
THERE IS NO WAY OUT OF YOUR PREDIKIMENTS .......YOU MUST FIGHT AND KILL ....AND KILL ( FAMALY MEMBERS INCLUDED )
GOD HIMSELF .....COULD NOT FIND A WAY TO PEACE BUT TROUGHT WAR
THATS WHAT THE HARE KRIHNA BELIEVE INCLUDING BUTLER
THERE IS 1001 WAYS TO INTERPRET THE GITA .............BUT TULSI ....A BUTLERETTE ....BELEIVE THE ABOVE interpretation (and also beleieve that she is going to krishna planet where siddha ...says they are all going ...
WHAT KIND OF A SWEARING IS THAT (what does the american people would think of that IF THEY KNEW THE GITA CONTENT ......IN THE LIGHT OF THE BIBLE WHERE JESUS SAYS TURN THE OTHER CHEEK
"FORGIVE THEM FATHER FOR THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING "
ITS A STUNT TO GET THE HINDHUS ALL PROUND ...........BUT SHE IS FROM A DESTRUCTIVE CULT
TULSI WOULD NOT BE ADMITED TO 90% OF THE MAJOR HINDHU TEMPLES IN INDIA (I TRIED IN JAGANATH PURI IN 2010)
HINDHU MAJORITY CONSIDER HINDHU ONLY IF YOU ARE BORN FROM INDIA .....THATS IT
BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE GETTING A SNIFF OF THE SCAM THAT BUTLER AND TULSI ARE TRYING TO PULL OFF.
AS MR SANTORUM ....
BY THE WAY WE KNOW THAT JESUS REALLY EXISTED ....THANKS TO A JEWISH HISTORIAN NAME JOSEPHUS ....HE NEVER BECAME A CRISHTIANS
BUT MENTION HAVING MET JESUS IN HIS WRITHING .

If the voters of Hawaii elected Tulsi Gabbard without knowing she is a hindu, that is a great injustice and deception that should be reckoned with. Dabcult you bring up very good points. If a book is known to be mythical why should one of our leaders be allowed to swear on it? What is next? Maybe swearing on ‘Alice in Wonderland’, or maybe even ‘Mad Magazine’! Why not? The blue god says ‘kill them all, kill your family!’ And what about that lion god they worship? That was brought up in court once by some very disturbed parents who did not like their children worshiping that beast. He also likes to kill family members! How can our leaders swear on such books that praises killing ones own family or gods who want to kill our families? Now the Bible is no longer good enough? Doesn’t make a lick of sense to me.
