    Greetings.

    In my experience, given that we all lie, either to ourselves, in our
    ignorance or positively with intent, etc. The focus on more truth and
    less lie reveals ones true intent to oneself and develops courage,
    awareness, strength and far less confusion within as well as without.
    It is also much more difficult to manifest that the *avoiding lie*.

    I also believe, lying is our personality based attempt to avoid
    consequence (consequence may smply be the effort required to
    eliminate our self-ignorance in the matter) for our truth (or our
    ignorance) and the avoidance of modifying our delivery of that truth
    with greater compassion for ourselves as well as for others.

    I believe great mysteries are left undiscovered in the midst of our
    lies.

    One certainly may accept lying as a fact and a truth of life... to
    UTILIZE this fact as a means to remove our responsibility in refining
    that lie to a lesser lie/closer truth may limit the opportunity
    within the lie and consequently, our own self development.

    IE - it actually prolongs our weakness and dependence upon that lie
    within the illusion of gaining us a temporary optional strength.

    A lie is in itself a lie that we lie to ourselves and suspend our own
    truth (again) to believe long enough to share its desceit with
    another who in turn believes our lie as a truth.

    The theft of something seemingly materially insignificant. That
    judgement compounds the lie again and we avoid determining our real
    truth.

    I often reflect that one lie is actually the parent of several at the
    moment of conception.

    There is a place between the light and in the space of
    forgetfullness, avoidance and darkness.

    What habitation does it provide for? What seeks to live and influence
    within our psychies there and remain unseen parts of our
    personalities? Ever influencing and ever evaded? Overlooked and
    forgotten whenever sought. At least at first.

    I appreciate your candor.

    Thank you.
