"The fact is that the vast majority

        of people are absolutely impervious

        to facts. Test the average man by

        asking him to listen to a simple

        sentence which contains one word

with         associations to excite his

prejudices, fears or passions—he

will fail to understand what you

have said and reply by expressing

his emotional reaction to the

critical word. It was long before I

understood this fact of psychology.

Even to this day, it surprises me

that there should be minds which are

unable to accept any impressions

equably and critically."

Aleister Crowley
