My Favorite Delusions

To me, one of Paul Case's more intriguing statements was "The work of Tiphareth (a.k.a. the Christ principle)  is always liberative."  Question: LIBERATIVE FROM WHAT? And what is the mechanism of liberation and why Tiphareth??

Why from my delusions, so that I can see (realize) REALITY. The Nature of Reality is to Liberate.

Here's some of my favorite delusions:

bulletThat I'm right (about anything)
bulletThat I'm better (than someone else).
bulletThat I'm not a fool.
bulletThat so called "authorities" know what they are talking about.
bulletThat the various "objects" of my desires have any intrinsic value at all.
bulletThat Separation is a reality. (when I'm feeling "separate")
bulletThat Unity is a reality. (when I'm feeling "at one")

And my number ONE favorite delusion:

bulletThat I know what I'm talking about.

Now if I can divest myself of my delusions the "i" (little me) must become perfectly transparent as well, since the little me is an illusion (or it's my delusion to think that the separate i is an illusion).

To my deluded mind, it seems that the nature of liberation is to have one's consciousness "attached" to only that which is REAL (K12). To be attached to anything else (the illusory) is bondage (delusion). For even if I (in reality) AM only attached to that which is real, if I don't know it (realized in consciousness) then I'm in bondage.
