Although we think that we think, most of the time we are being thought by the collective mind, the hypnosis of conditioning.
The collective dream is the hypnosis of social conditioning. Only sages, psychotics & geniuses manage to break free.
It is only by questioning what people take for granted, what people hold to be true, that we can break through the hypnosis of social conditioning.
What gets in our way is history and culture and religion and economic conditions. It is part of the hypnosis of our social conditioning.
