strings: WOULD LIKE TO discuss or consider the question of self-deception, the delusions that the mind indulges in and imposes upon itself and upon others. That is a very serious matter, especially in a crisis of the kind which the world is facing. But in order to understand this whole problem of self-deception we must follow it not merely at the verbal level but intrinsically, fundamentally, deeply. We are too easily satisfied with words and counter-words; we are worldlywise; and, being worldly-wise, all that we can do is to hope that something will happen. We see that the explanation of War., •does not stop war; there are innumerable historians, theologians and religious people explaining war and how it  comes into beirig but wars still go on, perhaps more destructive than ever. Those of us who are really earnest must go beyond the word,. must seek this fundamental revolution within ourselves. That is the only remedy which can >ring about a lasting, fundamental redemption of mankind.
