Why are human beings stuck in inertia?

The other day I read that climate change scientists will have a report out in Nov that will show that greenhouse gases have already reached a dangerous level. I don't think we should wait for a formal report in order to do anything for our planet and for our future generations. We see in newspaper reports daily that climate change is affecting so many aspects of life in so many countries - Greenland now is hot enough to grow brocoli, the permafrost in Russia is melting etc

Greenland and Russia are really not too far away from us in Asia if we realise that we are experiencing the effects of Global warming too. Sea water level is rising and we are experiencing hotter days.

Mass consciousness is steep in inertia - most people think that there's little they can do, or that what they do will not make a difference. The negative mindset and inertia are so deeply ingrained. Perhaps the issue of global warming is just too far removed when people have trouble putting food on the table.

What about those who are a little bit more comfortable in life - who in truth are contributing most to global warming. Bad habits and addictions to materialism, excessive consumption of food, alcohol, buying for the sake of buying, cigarettes, negative thinking/feelings and so on are just putting people in a hypnotic state of existence.

It is so true what Dr Stone wrote: "Most of my work is not hypnotizing people, but rather, dehypnotizing them. A great many people walk around in a kind of hypnotic state already."

Hypnosis and self hypnosis are incredibly misunderstood in our society. Hypnosis to the ordinary person has a very negative stigma, caused by a misuse of the tool by the stage hypnotists and misinformation perpetuated by the media.

Hypnosis is actually a very common incident which occurs to each of us throughout our day. As I mentioned previously, every time you are a victim or are on automatic pilot you are in hypnosis. Every time you let the subconscious mind run you, you are in hypnosis. Every time another person’s thoughts or feelings affect you, you are in a subtle state of hypnosis.

When you go to sleep at night you go through stages of hypnosis. When you read a book, watch television or drive your car, you go into hypnosis. A person who is a victim instead of a master of his life lives most of his life in hypnosis."


I personally experience this to be true, for I used to live a life of hypnosis too in excessive amounts of alcohol and cigarettes and other stuff! And I have learned that when I move myself out of the influential wave of mass thinking/feeling/actions/speech, I can move out of inertia. Becoming more a master than a victim of life.

This includes seeing life from a bigger picture, than just satisfying cravings, habits, addictions, or being stuck in negative thinking, feelings, actions and speech. I believe that every single person on earth has the power to manifest change. Change that will be beneficial for self, the community, country and ultimately the entire planet.

So why wait? It is time to get out of mass hypnosis and inertia and be the cause and not the effect!
