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).
