Fortunately, some are born with spiritual immune systems that sooner or later give rejection to the illusory worldview grafted upon them from birth through social conditioning. They begin sensing that something is amiss, and start looking for answers. Inner knowledge and anomalous outer experiences show them a side of reality others are oblivious to, and so begins their journey of awakening. Each step of the journey is made by following the heart instead of following the crowd and by choosing knowledge over ignorance.

Sometimes attributed to Bergson online as on this page, but earliest source found on google books is a 2015 ebook, The Forbidden History of Science, and the earliest source found on google groups is a 27 August 2007 post from alt.conspiracy where it is not presented as a quote but as the poster's own words, with the poster also linking to their website which featured the same quote on the welcome screen in an April 2006 capture on archive.org, again presented as the website author's own thoughts.
