Most civilized people are out of touch with reality because they confuse the world as it with the world as they think about it and talk about it and describe it. For on the one hand there is the real world and on the other there is a whole system of symbols about that world which we have in our minds.
And the principle disadvantage of symbols (is that) we confuse them with reality.
Meditation is the way in which…
From the whole universe.
What that require is that we shut down.
