There is a tendency to equate “Truth” and “Lie” as Dualistic counterparts. Instead, it would be more accurate to associate Honesty and Deception as Dualistic counterparts in this context.
Truth itself has no Dualistic counterpart. Truth is Transcendent.
A crude definition for Truth would be, “What IS”.
Truth is the foundation upon which Duality/Reality is built.
Truth is not “What Will Be”, nor is it “What Was” as these two conditions imply Birth and Death, which are themselves Dualistic counterparts.
Truth is always Alive. Truth is Life. Truth is the Present. Life only exists in the Present.
“What IS”, is the Present.
“What Will Be”, is yet to be Born.
“What Was”, is Dead.
A Fact is simply the
memory of a Truth.
If a Lie is defined as a Deception, then as was stated, it is the Dualistic counterpart of Honesty.
If a Lie is defined as an untruth, then a Lie cannot exist, because an untruth is a contradiction.
Creation contains many paradoxes but it does not contain a single contradiction. Any perceived contradiction is not an error of Creation, it is an error in observation and in the Understanding of “What IS”.
If untruths or contradictions existed then there would be holes in the foundation of Reality, which would make for a very unstable Reality.
One cannot avoid Truth forever because illusion/delusion has a finite time span. Eventually, Conflicts will emerge that will resolve the delusion and nothing burns away delusion, like Intensity. Thus, the ultimate result of this Inner inferno, is Clarity.
Knowing Truth comes from a state of Inner Clarity, not from knowing everything.
Discovering and Expressing Truth is akin to walking down the street, seeing what is around, what attracts attention and describing it from this state of Inner Clarity.
Truth is independent of personal belief. Truth does not care what One believes. Truth goes on being Truth, regardless.
Because…,
Truth IS.
To Discover, Understand and Know Truth,
is to allow the experience of…
What IS.
Clarification
It should be noted that a Deception is not necessarily nefarious.
An insect that camouflages itself against its background to deceive predators, is legitimate in its actions.
A predator that is hunting prey for food may also use deceptive techniques to achieve its end.
In these cases, like many of this type, the Deception is real, it does exist and is justifiable.
So, can these even be considered a Lie?
