This was my first Colin Wilson book and probably not my last. The story is about scientists discovering that humanity has a ‘mind parasite’ that confuses him, keeps his mind clouded and then proceeds to suck the life force out of man leaving him just enough to keep living until ‘at 80 he dies of boredom’. Geez, nice commentary on us.
Sounds a bit crazy until the scientist made the connection between cancer and not fulfilling your destiny and then it go real. This is what caught my attention and has had me thinking hard ever since. Here’s Wilson’s theory, we are all vibration—if you have a thought that you push away—say you always wanted to be a ..... that thought doesn’t go away, it just doesn’t get any more energy, and therefore sits like an irritant in a person. Multiply this idea across millions of minds, and you have a powerful thought form wanting attention—a thought form that was never given the energy to be realized so it sits at a lower vibratory level wanted to eat. Viola` you have a parasite that sucks on your lower energies.
Piaget, a famous psychologist igist said that the worse thing for children was their parents unrealized dreams. They project these dreams onto their unsuspecting progeny, driving them into doing what they might not want to do, but must because they love their parents.
My conclusion from what Wilson was trying to say, is that we can’t blame anyone else for our misery—it’s our own unrealized potential remaining a needy child trying to get our attention.

If Colin wrote it.. buy it and read it.. there's more to it than a "thriller"
