In other words, you are a powerless slave, and what you take as contrary reality is actually an illusion created by your masters.

That is my shout. Will you dismiss it as impossible, as a moron would do? Or will you suspend disbelief long enough to hear me out (study and discuss these ten pages) and to allow me to make my case (study and discuss my teachings)? If my warning is true, and you dismiss it, you will suffer a severe consequence. If my warning is false, and you heed it by accepting my guidance, you will still have a happier and more prosperous life than you would otherwise. There is no downside to accepting my guidance, or, at worst, the effort that you expend studying my teachings will be only a minor inconvenience.
