Since the beginning of humankind, it has not been facts, reality, or truth that move the world, but the illusions we create about the course of things. Dreams, wishes, and hopes are always more powerful than facts. Whether for earthly purposes or transcendent heavenly goals, illusions of salvation from all earthly suffering, of eternal life, of the purity of the national body, of the greatness of a nation, of spiritually moral turning points, etc., are just as world-shaking as they are reliably productive of misery. In this context, “illusions” fundamentally always refer to the worldviews of others. One always believes oneself to be on the side of truth.
