You will be in a state of self-deception, a state which angrily refuses self-honesty. 4. You will be desperately eager to claim that other people, especially prominent authorities, support your false claims. 5. You will be unable to see the strain and the unnaturalness of believing that untruth is truth. 6. You will receive a neurotic thrill from the inward burning of your confusion. 7. You will have no hesitation in attacking and hurting anyone who threatens to expose your deceit. 8. You will be unaware that you are believing only what you want to believe, for your preferences for delusion has succeeded superbly. 9. You will be the self-chosen victim of repeated mental movies in which you see yourself as heroically right and everyone else as wrong. 10. You will refuse to see that the sense of doom you feel is caused by your own refusal of the light. 11. You will be inwardly tortured, while pretending outwardly to other people that you are free and happy. 12. You will continue to fall and get hurt unless you stop believing only what you want to believe, and have the courage and the decency to receive what is true and good.
