“Think about Gurdjieff’s observation as it applies to many modern-day imprisonments. People are imprisoned by unhappy marriages, unfulfilling jobs, or cities they live in but intensely dislike. Others are imprisoned by crusades, slogans, or dogmas. And still others by guilt, hatred, or envy. Though few ever recognize it, the majority of people, certainly in the Western world, have the power to escape most of the conditions that imprison them, because most people’s imprisonments are usually caused by their belief systems or, quite often, nothing more than lethargy. Which is why a person’s freedom begins with his realization that he himself possesses the mental key to his prison door.”
