Political Left and Right = Shamatha and Vipassana

[rideforever]

Well it's all in the title.  I was reflecting on the origin and meaning of the division between right and left ... there must be some basic meaning to it.  And I did see someone in the US published a book about this question some time back.

But it seems to me that the Left want support, and the Right want freedom.  And it is basically a political manifestation of Shamatha and Vipassana. 

What else ... well we lurch from left to right because as a society there is no understanding of what is really going on.   It's all lynchmob ...

I dont know much about politics but i had a feeling that Vipassana is something occuring naturaly from Shamatha. I cant see it is as two separate things. Are they separate?

Be well my friend may no harm come to you.

They are both products of mindfulness practices and they are separate but interlinked in practice.
