 In our epoch of too many noises and many frustrations, many free minds have given up on the struggle for decency and individuality. They surrender to the zeitgeist, often without being aware of it. Public opinion molds our critical thoughts every day. Unknowingly, we may become opinionated robots. We crave excitement, hair-raising stories, sensation. We search for situations that create superficial fear to cover up inner anxieties. We like to escape into the irrational because we dislike the challenge of self-study and self-thinking. Our leisure time is occupied listening to piped-in words and viewing television screens. We hurry along with cars and go to bed with sleeping pills. This pattern of living, in turn, may open up the way for renewed sneak attack on our minds. Our boredom may well become any seductive suggestions. Dr. Giust A. M. Merleau, MD, 1956. 1956. Rape of the mind. Long time ago. No different than today. What are you doing to protect your mind? What are you doing to make sure that you don't get hypnotized? What are you doing to make sure you're not one of those robotic opinionated beings? And you see it all the time today. Just look what's happening with Trump, with Hillary, with all these different camps left and right protesting. They don't even know why they're protesting. They're stuck in that crowd effect. They see somebody else doing something. They copy them. It's called a mirror neurons. That's what babies learn. So the people around you affect your opinions. They affect how you think. They actually warp the reality that you live in. So what are you doing to protect your mind today? Couple things you can do. Don't fucking watch TV. Throw it out. Second thing you do, get the fuck off of social media. Social media is a tool. It's not good nor bad, but most people are passive when it comes to social media. They absorb all this information and they like to think it doesn't affect them, but it does subconsciously speaking. This is how we in a subconscious hypnotic state develop our so-called our own opinions. But in fact, it is an inception. These opinions have been implanted in you. You can use tools to block certain feeds in social media. Really respect your time. If you catch yourself on your phone, scrolling and going through the Facebook news feed or whatever news feed, stop. But be really cautious and aware of the fact that you're doing that. It's not going to happen overnight. It takes time and it takes dedication. It takes awareness to know what you're actually doing. Next, if you've got friends who are always opinionated and pushing their beliefs and opinions on you, get new friends. Period. You don't need them in your life. And finally, above all, start using your mind. Start thinking critically. Start actually problem solving. When you hear of something, don't just take it as a fact. Do your due diligence and investigate it. Anything you see, whether that I tell you something or you hear something or someone speaks to you, do your due diligence and investigate it if it's true or not. I think right now, problem solving and critical thinking has gone out the window. All of us are just repeating and regurgitating what other people say. And that's that, guys. Protect your mind. Get this book printed in 1950s. It's very applicable as in today. Pretty much it could be written for today, okay? Peace.
