Hypnotising Ourselves

You say, "Lord, give me my bread, my money! Heal my diseases! Do this and that!" 
Every time you say that, you are hypnotising yourselves with the idea, "I am matter, and this matter is the goal." 

Every time you try to fulfill a material desire, you tell yourselves that you are [the] body, that you are not spirit. . . .
