When people are free to move wherever they want, to live as they please and to allocate their time, energy and money in displaying the traits they want, they will discover some fabulous new ways to live and display.Humans may never give up their drive to raise status, respect, prestige, sexual attractiveness, and popularity, but those impulses can be channeled toward a much higher quality of life than rampant consumerism can offer. We can display our good form with more individuality, ingenuity and clarification.

The main source of positive impressions is Mother Nature herself – the impressions of the sky, the mountains, the forests, the gardens, the rivers, and the ocean. Who does not feel enraptured having around beautiful natural landscapes? A large part of our present psychological restlessness is due only to alienation from Nature, which deprives us of natural impressions to the well-being of the mind. Instead of assimilating positive natural impressions, we fill our minds with the artificial sensations of our artificial world. Just as canned food affects the body, “canned” impressions should harm the mind.

We can create our own positive impressions. Much of what is called art is an attempt to create a higher level of impressions that affect our inner being. Religion aims to reach this goal through rituals, mantras, or visualization.
