About This Quote
When it comes to the things that are said most confidently by advanced persons to crowded audiences, they are often those opposite to the fact. There is a reason for this. When you speak to large groups of people in person, there is a tendency for people to be extremely honest with themselves when they are speaking to large numbers of people. The reason, in part, is that when you are in front of an audience, no one is looking at you except for the people in the audience.
If you are being sincere with yourself when you are speaking, then your audience will be much more likely to believe what you say. The words that come out of your mouth will be perfectly honest and the things that you say will be truthfully reflected by your audience. However, when there are lots of people present, it is much more likely that the thing that is being spoken about is not true at all.
