You and everyone else do appear to lie to yourselves, but then again, everyone else accepts the automatic flow of thoughts through their brain, which endlessly describe to them the kind of person they are, as being an accurate portrayal. Such people are normal.
If you understand what all of this is talking about, you are not. You have the potential to see beyond what six billion of your neighbors are forced by the thoughts which life runs through their brains to call “reality.” If you are wired up to pursue it, there’s really not a lot to it. All you have to do is find a way around the standoff of trying to make thoughts think about themselves long enough for them to realize what they are. No feat known to man is more vexing, and yet,
once you one day suddenly slip right past it, you see that indeed there was not really a lot to it…(like in nothing).
Do not further confuse yourself by believing that you lie to yourself –
thoughts lie to you.
Not understanding that is not understanding the basics of being human.
It is not possible for you to lie to yourself,
only to lie about believing that you do.
Stop it and you will get the shock of your life.
