We are using the neurons, our identity, to constantly maintain our identity. Whether you are awake, asleep, or dreaming, this process is carried on. But, it is wearing you out.That is why I say the tragedy that is facing mankind is not AIDS or cancer, but Alzthiemer's disease.

Society or culture or whatever you might want to call it, has created us all solely and wholly for the purpose of maintaining its continuity and status quo.

The fact is that we don't want to be free. What is responsible for our problems is the fear of losing what we have and what we know.

Nature is interested in only two things--to survive and to reproduce one like itself. Anything you superimpose on that, all the cultural input, is responsible for the boredom of man.

Your constant utilization of thought to give continuity to your separate self is you. There is nothing there inside you other than that.

I am not anti-rational, just unrational. You may infer a rational meaning in what I say or do, but it is your doing, not mine.

If anyone thinks he can help you, he will inevitably mislead you, and the less phony he is; the more powerful he is, the more enlightened he is, the more misery and mischief he will create for you.
