From early on, we are conditioned to tell lies. We are supposed to say we are \u201cfine\u201d when we\u2019re not fine. We\u2019re supposed to smile when we\u2019re not actually happy. We\u2019re supposed to be \u201cnice\u201d even if we feel resentful or sad. We get so conditioned to lie that we actually become terrified of telling the truth - to be honest when a friend asks us what is wrong (especially if what is wrong is that we are mad at them!), or to say what\u2019s really happening with us when our husband asks if we\u2019re upset.
We all go around pretending to be something we are not, denying the feelings that we are authentically having, and perpetuating the need to go unconscious just to survive the disconnect.
It doesn\u2019t have to be this way. When we learn to tell the truth we create a portal for magic to occur.
When we become radically honest - first, and most importantly, with ourselves and then with others - an amazing thing happens. It is called FREEDOM.
By exposing the things we\u2019ve been avoiding, we air out the energetic dust bunnies in our dark inner corners and clear the way for our Essence to emerge. By definition, Essence is the True, invariable nature of a thing. We simply can\u2019t be in Essence if we aren\u2019t willing to be in truth. All of it.
The problem is, truth is tricky. It can be difficult to discern if the truth you are about to speak is real or is actually a story or a trigger.
This week's show explored the line between truth and lies, with some tips on how to tell whether you\u2019re on the right track.
