This goes for all of us. The good guys. The bad guys. The ones who have God on their side. And the ones who have God on their side. Here is what the rational self is:
a tiny little man riding a huge wild elephant. The enormous elephant is our irrational, real self, powerful, wild, headstrong.
When the elephant is feeling compliant, and feels like doing our bidding, we are rational, in control, calm. We make sense.
But when our wildelephant-self is not in the mood to follow our rational bidding, reason is powerless, just holds on tight and comes for the ride.
The cerebral cortex is a flash in the pan.
The real self is crazy.
And sincere.

Sincerity is the most important of all virtues. When you can fake that you've got it made.
