"Men and women are hypnotized. Their entire life is one great nightmare, which
they take for reality. One of their handy sleeping pills is their blithe
assumption that they are not asleep, that they are a perfectly conscious
human being.
In spite of the repeated disasters occurring in their nightmare, they
still insist they are awake. They goes through life like a sleepwalker,
bumping into one painful object after another, but never letting
the shock wake them up.
This is what the mystics have been trying to get over to humanity
for centuries."
The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power, Chap. 2, p. 28
