What does Screwtape mean by saying All mortals tend to turn into the thing they are pretending to be?
Screwtape is paying tribute to the powerful influence that our minds and imaginations have on us. For example, if you think you are sick and act like you are ill, you may well become ill. Have you ever heard someone say something like "Oh, I always get a bad head cold about this time of year?" It is possible that their expectations lead to the results they are predicting. Spiritually, this would say that if you want to love your neighbors but don't feel like it, go ahead and act like you really do love them, and the feeling may well come after you have been acting this way for a while.
