Now three weeks later we have another encounter and our poor ignorant workman falls asleep again at his chore and our good minister comes by and he looks and he sees the idle one upon the floor snoozing and he thinks, I would like to kick you in the you know where, but he thinks, oh no, I cannot think such an unChristian thought and violence is wrong, so before he even admits to himself what he feels and hiding from himself any acknowledgment of aggression.

[...] You assume you are awake under certain conditions, and you assume that you are asleep under certain conditions. [...] It is yours whether you are awake or asleep and this is the state you are reaching them in. [...]
