With awareness the mystery is perceived, without awareness we live only in a world of our own illusion.... - Be honest and self-aware, and you will observe that you are the architect of your own (self-)deception. - “We lie the loudest when we lie to ourselves.” ~ Eric Hoffer - “Above all, dont lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.” ~ Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky - from The Brothers Karamazov - People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own soul. ~ Carl Jung - Try for a moment to accept the idea that you are not what you believe yourself to be, that you overestimate yourself, in fact that you lie to yourself every moment, all day, all your life. That this lying rules you to such an extent that you cannot control it anymore. You are the prey of lying. You lie, everywhere. Your relations with others - lies. Your teaching - lies. Your theories, your art - lies. Your social life, your family life - lies. And what you think of yourself - lies also. But you never stop yourself in what you are doing or in what you are saying because you beLIEve in yourself. You must stop inwardly & observe. Observe without preconceptions, accepting for a time this idea of lying. And if you observe in this way, paying with yourself, without self-pity, giving up all your supposed riches for a moment of reality, perhaps you will suddenly see something you have never before seen in yourself until this day. You will see that you are different from what you think you are. You will see that you are two. One who is not, but takes the place and plays the role of the other. And one who is, yet so weak, so insubstantial, that he no sooner appears than he immedietely disappears. He cannot endure lies. The least lie makes him faint away. He does not struggle, he does not resist, he is defeated in advance. Learn to look until you have seen the difference between the two natures, until you have seen the lies, the deception in yourself. When you have seen your two natures, that day, in yourself, the truth will be born. ~ From the first initiation by Jeanne de Salzmann - The more you educate yourself, the more you understand where things come from, the more obvious things become and you begin to see lies everywhere, you have to know the truth and then seek the truth and the truth will set you free. ~ Jordan Maxwell
