Fables of the Soul: The Price of Spiritual Delusion | Perilous World Radio 11/21/25

David Masters opens a discussion about the impact of delusions on individuals, reflecting on his own childhood beliefs and the confusion that often arises from them. He expresses gratitude for not being born during what he perceives as a peak of insanity in society over the last decade, which he attributes to extreme political correctness and social ideologies. He delves into the concept of spiritual delusion, specifically referencing Christianity and the teachings of Jesus. According to him, Jesus emphasized the importance of knowing the truth for spiritual freedom. Masters argues that many people exist in a mental and spiritual imprisonment, lacking true freedom because they do not truly understand the truth. He explores the notion that to "know" in a deeper sense means to be intimately connected with that truth. Masters contends that as the truth has been obscured in many churches over the centuries, these institutions can become instruments of evil rather than sources of enlightenment. He raises thought-provoking questions about the nature of Jesus, noting that while some theologians insist that Jesus is God, he never explicitly stated this in scripture. He interprets Jesus's phrase “I and the Father are one” as a claim of shared essence and agreement rather than identity. Through these reflections, Masters encourages an examination of beliefs and the importance of seeking a genuine understanding of truth, both spiritually and psychologically.
