When truth is withheld and hidden from another, a lie is born. The lie is motivated by fear and its expression is greed. The lie is an outcome of fear and lack. It is an abuse of one’s power.
Fear and lack exists for both the liar and the one who believes it. Both feel its effects. One feels illegitimate advantage, the other feels unjust disadvantage. One feels illegitimate power, the other feels unjust disempowerment.
For the lie to remain a lie, the lie must never be known to exist by the one who believes it. The deceived one must believe there is no lie, in order to remain compliant and unsuspecting.
The liar is motivated by lack so takes advantage of his brother using strategies of theft in order to take something that doesn’t belong to him. The one lied to feels the pain and suffering under the lie, but remains unaware there is a lie. He believes the liar is telling the truth.
The time comes when the one who has been lied to can no longer tolerate the suffering, and begins to question his reality. Investigation of the truth takes place in order to make sense of his suffering. The lie created by the deceiver is finally uncovered by the one lied to, and seen to be the real cause of his suffering.
The lie must be revealed in order to experience true relief. The lie and it’s effects disappear once the truth is revealed and the lie is known to be a lie.
When the deceived one finally knows of the lie, there is no more confusion.
Clarity dawns.
Right action can finally be taken.
Justice can be served.
The liar is made accountable.
Unity is re-established.
Well-being is restored.
