Societal Hypnosis

People are so stuck in the form world. They are hypnotized by it and believe it to be the only thing important, the only thing that is real. It is all that matters to them. The only place that has any substance in their perception. And, in reality, this is the only place that actually has no substance. It all fades. Nothing there causes any lasting happiness. Nothing there has any lasting meaning. Nothing thaere will lead us to ourselves. But we are so hypnotized, because everyone else is. Society is. We are sucked into the dream. We believe the dream is real. Dreams upon dreams and stories upon stories. This entire planet, this entire universe, will one day dissolve into nothingness. It will all change at one point yet we hold on to our dreaming, thinking that it is substantial and going to continue for ever. It won’t. It can’t. Only one thing will. The Absolute. That within us that is still. Abiding. Present. That’s where it is. That’s where the real happiness is.
