We are living in a time of change. More and more is uncovered, comes to light. At the same time our dealings with our experiences are changing. What used to formerly surprise us is now commonly accepted or taken for granted. For example, we do not get upset any more about being monitored or intercepted or our emails being readable for others.
Thus, increasing truth does not only mean to become aware of formerly undiscovered things, but the truth also changes our reactions. If we react from our ego and feel offended, deceived or hurt, then we are caught within these feelings. Now it is rather the time to explore the causes instead.
Why did we create all this in the first place? Why do we allow to be manipulated? Why do we allow to be lied to? What did we create and what is the purpose?
In these times of seeing more and more truth it is primarily about us and how we handle it. Do we stick to the old pattern condemning and sentencing? Or do we scrutinize, do we open up to the concealed parts of our own creations?
It is time to discover our own truth. What does the external truth reflect to us? Where do we live our own interpretation of what we created ourselves and as a collective? Therefore it might be helpful to have a closer look at the subject Lie and in order to do that I found a very powerful and intense exercise in one of Paul Selig's books.
The exercise is as follows: Imagine a bus. This bus contains your lies, first of all those you can think of right now. Ask your Higher Self to support you with this exercise and to show you exactly what is needed and can be solved right now.
Then imagine how this bus races towards you with high speed. Other times you might have run away or got out of the way which reflects your usual reaction towards lies. This time, though, you remain where you are. The bus still races towards you and you remain where you are.
However, the bus does not run you over. It comes to an abrupt halt just a few inches in front of you. And now, look at this formation in front of you. Let it be there, let everything arise, any emotion, or memory, or whatsoever, anything that wants to be looked at right now. Now is the time when all is revealed, everything appears that is important for you now.
If you have observed this formation for a while then maybe the core origin of these lies gets clear and you might go through a row of different emotions.
Take all the time you need to perceive it all.
After that, imagine this formation to be frequency and to turn into energy. And after having been fully noticed it is now time to fill this energy with light and let it resolve. It may leave now.
After having finished this exercise try to speak truth for one day. It does not matter if we cannot do it all day. And it is not a question of always telling the truth but moreover to become aware of all the occasions when we do not speak truth and to observe when and why we lie.
When I did the exercise I had to cry for quite a while because I discovered how the lies were caused by very deep fears. I was separated from the divine, I had lost my trust. I was cut off. They had left me all on my own. All these things were reasons for my lies, namely the fear of being left, the fear of not surviving, or the fear of not being loved. Basically all this fear prevented me from trusting.
At the same time I felt guilty, although it had become clear to me that I was acting out of fear. What had happened here? I discovered that the root cause of my fear was the separation from the divine. This realization was absolutely surprising but at the same time I felt relieved because many things became clear instantly.
I was then able to see why I felt like having to lie. My motives became clear, and they were not the superficial reasons for lies like e.g. egoism, or avarice for which we get charged for by the system. No, the reasons were quite different, namely deep fear and this was astonishing.
With hindsight I feel indignant about the fact that I still felt guilty. But this realization was also immensely important because I am only guilty if one looks for the superficial ostensible reasons.
The real motives reveal to me that the lie is needless if I overcome the fear respectively that there is no need for self-punishment because I know I did not act out of egoism but out of fear. This does not mean I have to tell the truth all the time but the feeling of guilt vanishes and thus self-esteem arises. In future situations I can then decide anew whether I still need the lie.
What I also like about the exercise is the last part. For one day we have to observe and notice when we do not tell the truth. This is not about always telling the truth but to see more and more where we are controlled or kept in lies either through fear or maybe through false guidelines given by the system. It took me several days to digest this exercise, however, in retrospect I highly recommend to everyone to have a closer look at his or her lies, for example by doing the exercise described here.
We should realize that feelings of guilt are part of the programming to keep us small and to punish ourselves. With the exercise we achieve exactly the opposite, it is a matter of regaining our self-esteem by withdrawing power from the lies which we do by recognizing the underlying fears.
NO Punishment! That is part of the controlling system holding us within the matrix. It is a matter of recognizing the fear, the cause, and the solution. As long as we suppress and feel guilty, or punish ourselves and each other we keep ourselves within a low frequency. The frequency of truth leads to a higher vibration, but that is not a pseudo truth but rather our own truth, the one we feel deep inside.
Truth is not 'good behavior'. Truth is not the following of rules other have put up. Quite often we do not even notice anymore when we are lying because we subconsciously just follow pseudo truth norms. We believe to be decent because we follow the etiquette. Should I act as I really would like to or should I behave? If I behave although I do not feel like it then I lie.
Truth also means to be who we are and to act like it. If we want to live more within the frequency of truth it might be helpful to be aware of the reasons for our lying every time we do lie, and also to observe when and why we deceive ourselves. What is the underlying fear in that moment? Or maybe in that moment we feel uncomfortable with a system-compliant rule because deep inside we do not agree with it at all?
Besides looking at our own lies it is quite useful to see why others lie to us. If we sentence and punish the other one for it then truth might not be revealed. If our ego feels hurt then it is not that easy for the other person to be honest because the other one has no intention to do harm to us.
First of all we usually feel offended once we find out that we are lied to, we see it as a betrayal of confidence and might even denounce a friendship etc. However, we are living in a world full of lies and intrigues and more and more is disclosed. Hence, from my point of view it is necessary to closely observe our reactions. Probably our first reaction is anger, lack of understanding, or feeling hurt. All these emotions need space and should not be suppressed.
However, should we not also begin to explore the backgrounds, to look at the causes? What has led to the fact that we lie or are lied to? From my experience of facing the lying I come to the conclusion that there are quite deep fears on the one hand and on the other hand there is the system keeping us within a low frequency caused by the lying.
Why do we punish ourselves for it? Because we were educated to do so, in
other words, it is part of the matrix and it is a matter of dissolving this
now. If I get angry at the system from time to time, then I sometimes forget
that we are the ones, ourselves, who are creating the system also. It is not
only a matter of accusing an external aggressor. Thus, we primarily have to
deal with and change our own structures that are co-founding this system and
keep it going.
