This mental virus had to be strong enough in both of these directions:
-
The impact on each individual. We are seeing them completely lose their rationality, empathy, humanity, morality. They're capable of so much mental gymnastics and depraved manipulation it's unbelievable. They're not with us right now folks.
-
The amount of individuals infected. We're talking literally BILLLLIONSSS across all different countries and cultures, nearly all political leaders, exposed to different media, etc. Compare that to Germany in the 1930s which was like 65 million people or something in an isolated environment.
Add those two together and how the F does this happen? This is the most astonishing thing to happen to the human race in history.
The spiritual masters taught that one of the immediate effects of the sin of lust is a blinding of the intellect. The intellect is meant to know the truth and discern truth from error. Most people are dead in their sin and up to their eyes in porn and fornication. They are completely blind to the truth and reality because they have divorced themselves from Jesus Christ, who is the truth itself, by their sin.
