In the Shadow of Lies

You have every right to lie; they have done it to you thousands of times, for entire lives, in many different ways.

Now you can indulge in an incarnation busy with matters that don’t concern you, pretending every day, with a mask on your face. And you would be right: they had talked to you about understanding, respect, love, and freedom… how much hypocrisy have you found along the way. Now you can lie too, play like them.

However, every lie builds a wall. It’s invisible, but your heart feels it clearly. A barrier that distances others, that distances you from the light of Truth. Every time you are not honest about who you are, what you do, your talents and desires, with a fellow traveler, whoever that may be, you are telling yourself: “I don’t consider them worthy of the truth. I don’t trust them, they wouldn’t understand.” And the more often you think this, the bigger the wall that keeps everyone away.

To always lie means not to have hope that things will ever change. It means not giving the world the opportunity to finally bring you a company consistent with you, one that accepts you for who you truly are.

You have every right to hide, who can tell you otherwise? Just ask yourself if this is the way you deserve to live: playing the game of others, like a passing stranger, waiting to return Home.

A sincere hug.
