because of fallacious beliefs they have imbibed and accepted as being so. They dislike to think contrary to the mass mind and refuse to believe in any enemy they cannot see, and especially in one so fantastic! The Enemy knows this only too well and from the beginning has taken advantage of it.

Again we say that while the thoughts-forms and beliefs of the mass mind are usually wrong, because inspired by the Enemy, and are what are causing all the lack, limitation and inharmony now manifesting in the outer world of men’s minds; nonetheless they seem very real to those minds that have accepted them, and therefore they must be faced, in order properly to deal with them.

And there are plenty of such minds these days, who from brooding over their inability to find work and to feed their families, and who because of the fancied wrongs done them by their former employers, can be easily persuaded to deeds of violence, should the mass mind be
