When you have found God, and you know what he wants from us, or, if you have found out that there is no God, when you finally understand what life is all about: money, social status and sex, to eat or be eaten, or, when you have found your true self, or that the self is an illusion, or, when you know what will happen to us after death, then you are deluded.
When you have it all figured out, this is a clear sign that you have been misled. Later, you will realize that you had it all wrong. You had fooled yourself. And now you have found the truth, at last.
When you know, deep in your heart, what religion, political, or philosophical explanation is superior, then you must ask yourself: could it be that I don't see the full picture? If the answer is no, I am right, you can be convinced that you have been fooled.
I have lost friends to religious and spiritual cults, crazy ideas, and political convictions. And I have had friends who have lost me because of my opinions, views, and beliefs.
Ingrained convictions are like magic spells.
