Reverse Faith | Perilous World Radio 6-27-25

On today’s episode of Perilous World Radio, host David Masters continues the conversation about intimidation that began yesterday with Jan. They reflected on the universal experience of intimidation, noting that individuals who feel powerless often try to exert control over those they perceive as weaker. David aims to delve deeper into the concept of intimidation, focusing on the temptations it presents and how it can influence outcomes in various situations. Join David as he plays audio clips from his father, Roy Masters, founder of the Foundation of Human Understanding. The first clip explores the theme of self-doubt and its impact on confidence and personal development. It reflects on the experience of being a child labeled as a troublemaker in school, where external authority figures and peers contribute to feelings of inadequacy. The individual grapples with the paradox of trusting these authoritative voices while simultaneously recognizing that such doubt can undermine self-belief. The passage suggests that doubt acts as a "reverse faith," leading one to seek reassurance from others instead of fostering self-reliance. The writer contemplates the societal tendency to reinforce doubt, pointing out that this reliance often stems from a deeper understanding of one’s struggles. It emphasizes the importance of questioning one’s doubts rather than simply accepting them, suggesting that true growth comes from confronting and doubting the doubts themselves. Ultimately, the text conveys that understanding the roots of self-doubt is crucial for overcoming personal challenges.
