What does it mean not to be hypnotized by events - by the world?
Before one can be hypnotized by the world, one must have an ideal based on a false value; a value that is established by "I" because it wants to be nondisturbed. In other words, it puts value on the gratification of all senses at all times.
The inner hypnotic voices of the senses - by making continual suggestions - firmly implant the idea that one's sole purpose of living is to be nondisturbed. When one's purpose is disturbed by any form of resistance, the inner voices say one should complain, stick up for one's rights, and blame others. One also continually hears hypnotic voices from beings who are themselves hypnotized. These outer voices firmly implant the idea that one should please them, believe and do as they say, be different, since this is the only way to be nondisturbed. Theses are conflicting ways, and when a person tries to use either way to reach the ideal state, he is in conflict. He really is in a prison - a prison of conflict.
