A man living in fragmentary perception, can only make more disorder on the earth. His 'reforms' intensify but only add to the turmoil. It has been tried for thousands of years to stop war, yet war continues. A brain hypnotized by thought means a brain in conflict, contradictory desires, fearful, angry, insensitive, a blind slave to memory, tradition and authority. It needs constant fixes: a drink, a TV show, politics, companionship, being part of a group, drugs, music. The mind gets dependent on those instant fixes and if it cannot find them, it means more fear, anger or worry, from which one has to escape even more, therefore always do something, never sit still for a moment to find out what is going on.

It is all easily revealed if one suspends language and tries listening without any effort to all what is happening, all energy including thoughts at the same time. What happens when nothing happens?
Cure starts with seeing that one is infected.
