So, do you assume other people are lying because you are lying?

I ALWAYS express myself as honestly as possible however all of my thoughts are expressed through a filter that I cannot remove myself from.


And all thoughts are an estrangement of reality so...there's that.

I'd tell you about my past, but I'd have to kill you afterwards. So don't ask.

Seriously though, what are we, besides an over evolved consciousness that alienates us from the rest of nature?

Do you think that is lying? Do you see that as different from what other people do?

He should have said, 'lies his brain tells himself'.

That filter is called expediency...or what favors the moment. To be true to yourself you often have to lie to others. In nature it's called Camouflage.

No. We're ALL the same.

Just to...just to refresh your memory:




People only share lies when they tell about their past...



Lies that they themselves to believe or lies they want us to believe.



I'm more interested in the lies we are living now...

I'd say that's correct, we are 'mostly' the same and that being the case, we all lie for the same reason, to cover our asses...or arses for the UK members of the forum.

Okay, so just to refresh your memory, Bill...

All this stuff you're making up and projecting onto other people, is YOUR STUFF. It's how you see and what you think you know -- it is not reality for everyone else. You cannot know how other people operate. You are mistaken about others a great deal of the time.

You can talk about yourself... but you won't... because you'd rather project it onto other people.

I know how a human functions.


I,...I THINK that is what I was attempting to reflect within this thread...and um,...and other threads that I have churned-out over the years.

To a degree... as do other people. And then there is YOUR experience... and the way you think and feel, that perhaps you think represents/reflects everyone else more than it does. Simply, your projections do not override what other people know of themselves... regardless of how many years you've been casting those projections. :mrgreen:
