ANECDOTE

Raft Story About Missing What’s Right There

  • A raft story shows people dying of thirst while floating on fresh water they don't recognize.
  • Anthony DeMello uses the Brazil raft example to illustrate how we're surrounded by joy we fail to perceive.
INSIGHT

Hypnosis Metaphor For Missing Present Joy

  • We are surrounded by joy, love, and happiness yet fail to see them because we're 'hypnotized' or asleep to reality.
  • DeMello compares this to a magician's hypnosis: people see what isn't there and miss what's present.
ADVICE

Wake Up By Changing Your Mindset

  • Wake up and change your mindset rather than wallowing in guilt about past actions committed while 'asleep.'
  • DeMello urges repentance as awakening: 'Put on a new mind' and accept the good news now.
