Publisher's Summary
We all want to be happy - but why are we not?
Every child is born ecstatic - with a high level of happiness. Ecstasy is natural. It is something that everybody brings naturally into the world; everybody comes with it. It is part of being alive. Life is ecstasy. Every child brings it into the world, but then society jumps on the child, starts destroying every possibility of ecstasy, starts making the child miserable, starts conditioning the child, and the child comes to know that to be miserable is right, to be happy is wrong. That becomes the deep association. The fact is that society is neurotic, and it cannot allow ecstatic people to be here. They are dangerous for it. Try to understand the mechanism; then things will be easier. An ecstatic person is bound to be free. Ecstasy is freedom, ecstasy is against structure, ecstasy is rebellious.
From the series Ecstasy: The Forgotten Language, Chapter #9
