Deception; Ultimately The Path of Deceiving Self

When we deceive others we are actually deceiving ourselves, ultimately the path of deception always leads back to the deceiver. After we rehash our elaborate deceptions over and over again, we start to believe in them, and see them as reality. That is a trick that can only be perpetrated against the limited human intellect. That is the main reason why it so important that we do not rely on our human intellect, and still ourselves, and go within our Spirit and tap into The DIVINE SPIRIT of WISDOM many call God. When we deceive others and begin to live our lives on deception we create a fantasy world that we actually end up inhabiting, and reaping the fruits of. After a certain period of time, which varies from individual to individual; our sub-conscious starts to embrace the deception as truth, and we fall further into the rabbit whole of the our deceptive make-believe world. The exact same thing happens to us when we lie to others. However, every now and then we slip back into reality and the truth comes out and exposes us for what we have truly been doing, deceiving others as well as our selves. When we fall into the trap of deceiving ourselves, we show how spiritually immature we actually are. The truth never changes; the truth leads us along the path of righteousness, the path we are supposed to be traveling. Even when the truth is, I have failed; it eventually creates a positive outcome. The old saying, “The Truth Will Set You Free,” is true. Facing the truth even when it is uncomfortable is very rewarding.

Seldom do we fully understand how our deception can harm others. Every time we deceptively communicate with another, we are taking the chance of causing them to go down a path that could be very harmful to them and others. I fully understand that everyone is totally responsible for everything they do; every choice they make is their responsibility. Nevertheless, we are held accountable for the part we play in their mis-direction. So, it is better for us to admit to all of our shortcomings, and to say what we really want from others, than to deceive others and paint a rosy picture of something that is not true, and is not a part of our reality even in the stretching of the truth. What a fickle and wicked trap we weave for ourselves, when we intentionally set out to deceive our sisters and brothers for our selfish gain. As I have pointed out many times in the past concerning other situations, the Divine Law of Reciprocity dictates that we reap what we sow many times over. When we deceive someone, we are visited by deception multiplied many times over. The Divine Law of Reciprocity is the main reason why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. On one hand the rich plant word seeds, thought seeds, and action seeds of prosperity and flow; on the other hand the poor plant word seeds, thought seeds, and action seeds of poverty and struggle.

Most of the time we deceive others so that they will yield, and give us everything that we want, and give us our way. However, sometimes we deceive because that is what we saw done, and what we were taught at a young age. In addition, we deceive others in believing that we are someone other then who we are, because we are fearful that they would not like us or want to be with us if they really know us as we are. Nonetheless, the path of deception is always the wrong path to travel. It is utterly impossible to keep up the deception indefinitely, eventually the truth always rises to the surface; and then it will expose us for who we truly are. Sometimes our deception starts out as a form of personal embellishment; which is the act of adding ornaments or decorations of some type that will possibly cause us to look more accomplished, more beautiful, and more interesting than we believe we are.

We must find a way to accept ourselves as we are, and know that we were created in, and through Divine Perfection. That can only mean that we are perfect as we are. We are simply in the process of waking up to the Divine Reality that we are Perfect Spiritual Beings, which are on a temporary sojourn, through a dense physical plane. Once we are fully awake spiritually, we will know that there is no need for deception. Matter of fact; once we are fully awake spiritually, deception will not even be an option that is available to us. We can only contemplate and be deceptive when we are not consciously in touch with our True Selves, which is our Higher Spiritual Selves. Once we reach that place in our physical existence, we will come to know that there is no such thing as our lower selves, or lower nature as some teach. Everything within our Spirit, which is who we are, is Divine in its origin, and also Divine in its nature. In addition to that, everything that is within us can only vibrate at the highest frequency modulation possible, because every energy, every frequency within us, is firmly rooted deep in the Eternal Spiritual Realm.

Is it possible to play a trick on one member of your physical body and not affect the entire body? It is impossible to do that because of the oneness of the body. It is likewise impossible to trick one of our sisters or brothers and not affect ourselves. That is because of our connection, because of our Divine Oneness with all of our sisters and brothers. We have some individual characteristics, yet we are not individuals that are set apart from our sisters and brothers. We can only comprehend and experience our true Spiritual Oneness, when we cease to practice deception of every kind. If we deceive someone today, we will be deceived many days in the future, maybe even many years in the future. What a fickle and wicked trap we weave for ourselves, when we intentionally set out to deceive our sisters and brothers for our selfish gain.

We Must Stop Deceiving Others, As Well As Ourselves!
