The Law of Survival, the most powerful law governing humankind, is the driving force of the pain/pleasure principle with which humanity is hypnotised. Whether that is hypnotised with tweeting, or blogging, or what brand of clothes to buy- we seem to be waiting for the next installment. Now is missed with the obsession for the next thing. Here are some quotes that express this same idea:
P.D. Ouspensky, In Search of the Miraculous, "In the ordinary waking state...man does not see the real world...He lives in hypnotic sleep..."To awaken" for man means to be "dehypnotized."
Sanai of Afghanistan, 1130 CE, Humanity is asleep, concerned only with what is useless, living in a wrong world."
Hubert Benoit, Zen scholar, "Our conscious thinking has all the characteristics of a dream....The representation that it gives us of the world is illusory.
A Course in Miracles, "Everything you see is the result of your thoughts. There is no exception to this fact."
