If The Following Were True,
It Would Totally Explain, In A Startling New Way,
Everything You Need To Know Concerning The Serious, Critical Views Of Life
So Common To Man.
One man, to keep himself alert and on track, pretends to himself that everything other people say that annoys him, they do so solely for that purpose. Although this may sound simply fanciful at first, be assured that for the few, it can be a most potent, eye opening tool.
Try it on yourself. Every time you are suddenly alert enough again to come-to-yourself mentally, and realize that your thoughts were again, just then, operating in their automatic mode, and making critical comments about some other human’s thoughts, and treating it all quite seriously, say to yourself:
“I am the only person in the world who takes what they say seriously;
everyone else is playing with my mind and laughing at me,
constantly saying things that they do not mean,
just to watch a gullible idiot like me take them seriously and get upset.
I am the only person on the planet not in on it.”
If you do not understand that this could literally be happening – and that if it were, you would have no way of ever realizing it, then you do not have even a scrap of a good suspicion regarding the bottom-of-the-barrel role thought plays in the thing humans call their life.
