On many levels, no matter how useful:
The great thoughts of others; rules, social convention and laws of the land;
Religious practice and philosophy; electronic commercials and stories;
Hopes and dreams of others; personal thoughts for a happy life;
Great writing and books; governmental guidance and assistance;
And love songs of poets and minstrels-
Are all jailors!
Yes, all these things
No matter how useful, indoctrinate,
And bind your free expression of will.
Learn to recognize these consciousness chains.
Socially necessary, influencing and directing thought;
They create walls within your mind.
O spiritual traveler, go further. Travel inward.
Go beyond the confines of time and space.
Become One with your Eternal Self.
Embrace your inner freedom and transcendence.

Thank you Stewart, I do recognize these consciousness chains, they use to be pretty strong. Now I find them rusty, brittle and disintegrating.
