Prison.

Life is a prison
When you have felt freedom
For freedom you will long for thereafter
Is it a feeling you seek without thinking
In the prison filled with laughter?


Georges I. Gurdjieff,
 A Westerner who went on this higher trip or at least on a large part of the trip, said:
               YOU DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND
      YOU ARE IN A PRISON
              IF YOU ARE TO GET OUT OF THE PRISON
              THE FIRST THING YOU MUST REALIZE IS:
     YOU ARE IN A PRISON 
        IF YOU THINK YOU'RE FREE YOU CAN'T ESCAPE
