Miguel Angel RuizWe are so well trained that we are our own domesticator. We are an autodomesticated animal. We can now domesticate ourselves according to the same belief system we were given, and using the same system of punishment and reward.

When the fear is too great, the reasoning mind begins to fail, and we call this mental illness.
