Most people are not even aware of the limitations that bind them, and so they are naturally skeptical that a new, more independent way of thinking is possible.

Because they are lacking any other vision, they cannot move beyond the concepts that bind them and the kinds of knowledge those concepts allow.

If someone suggests alternatives, they may reject them out of hand: “You must be crazy! Someone has brainwashed you.”

Or they may take a more humble approach: “ You say so, and it sounds inspiring, but I’m not ready. I can’t go there.”

If you push too hard, they may feel angry or resentful.

Even though they live in the grip of confusion and unhappiness, they are not ready to give up what they know and accept.
