To be a victim of illusion is to take it for true, so it means one is unable to express it as such, as illusion. By being the first to point out persecutory illusion, the Bible initiates a revolution that, through Christianity, spreads little by little to all humanity without being really understood by those whose profession and pride are to under-stand everything. This is one of the reasons, I believe, Jesus speaks the literal truth when he exclaims: "I thank you, Father ... that you have hidden these things from the wise and clever and revealed them to babes" (Matt. 11:25).
