Believing the system of measurement that man invented to track the rate of change they can perceive and share as reality instead of remembering this system of measurement was made necessary as a means for us to meet and communicate with, can be seen as a form of self hypnosis.
The language we use is an abstraction, but we so cling to language and measurement of mine/yours, on/off, good/bad, start/finish and who gets to be in charge around here that we fall into a state of hypnosis and think reality exist in the way we say it does and forget the vast amount of reality we have no clue about. I hear this way of relating to reality as "thinking inside the box", but I see this attitude effecting my whole thought process as long as I'm describing anything with language. Only when I stop measuring the change of being I call reality, does anything make sense.
When I measure reality with language all kinds of problems arise, and by solving theses linguistic problems more problems arise, because any system of measurement will imply a lack and creates a feeling of "more/better" that will never go away.
Listen to Alan Watts talk about the difference between reality and abstract measurement of reality.
"Due to the belief that money IS wealth and not a measurement of wealth, humans had things happen like the great depression due to what we can a finical collapse,a lack of money. As if you went to build a house, the lumber is there, the tools are there,,but your told "Can't build a house today, we ran out of inches."
"We have the resources to provide every living being on this planet with the basic needs for a comfortable existence,,but the only thing stopping it is people keep asking "Who is going to pay for all of this? As if money comes from somewhere like gold,,money is a human invention. Using gold for money renders gold useless,,humans are not spiritualist or materialist at all,, humans are abstractionist."
I guess that's why everyone is yelling wake up! They want to unhypnotize themselves, and under hypnosis,, believe they are awake but everyone else not.
