I know what that suggestion is, and it is not new:
Be Here Now. Simple. Or is it.

If it is that simple, and that effective, how come we are not all
observing it? I will tell you. We are programmed - by the 20 percent.

In many studies it was found that, in small groups designed to find out
who tells lies the best, one person was usually by far the best.
In related studies, when the small group was determining who would be the
best leader - guess what - right, that same person got the vote.
The most dishonest person got to be voted the best leader.

So how do the 20 percent control the 80 percent? Entertainment.
The Romans had the Gladiator fights and Lions eating Christians.
Keep the masses amused - with violence.

You may be thinking you know all this, but unless you have actually
checked it out, it is most unlikely that you realise the extent of just
how much our lives are based on violence and conflict.
If you felt inclined, you could take an hour or so to check out both the
mainstream, and the alternative news. And most of the movies. And computer
games. And the words of most songs - old and new. Conflict.

Said this often - how many relationships do you know that are loving and
harmonious - without conflict? Not many eh. (Your own?)
And how many ‘loving' weddings end bitterly?
According to statistics, most.

It is that the 20 percent have the energy for motivation, and very few of
the 80 percent can be bothered - until it is too late. It is getting late.
