Can't lie anymore after awakening?

[playdoh]

So is it normal after meditating for so long and practicing living a conscious life one forgets how to lie? Even in situations where a little white lie that would benefit everyone, I can't even think of a lie, I'll pause for a second and then say the truth. Then afterwards I regret knowing it wasn't the best response.

Lying is just too useful to stop doing it

[playdoh]

@Leo Gura huh so I guess you are still able to? I thought this would have been common among meditators.

@playdoh Higher consciousness can allow for subtle and sneaky lying. The mind might not even be aware of it.

[Nahm]

Lie lie lie, lie lie. Lie lie.    Lie!

[playdoh]

So none of you have this problem? Wouldn't it make sense if you didn't use your mind as much anymore (& start feeling instead of analyzing everything) one would inheritly lie less 

[Leo Gura]

As you become more conscious you should automatically lie less.

Of course being more honest and authentic is a great spiritual practice.

Thank you

The word of god is sacred and pure truth, always. No matter how hard you try to lie, thats just truth. 

Its not like there was ever a time when you could lie

@playdoh  If you can save somene's life by lying, why not? Otherwise lying is ridiculous.

Telling lies drains your own power. Trying to alter someone's view of reality for your own purposes is always done because you don't understand that reality is God and the other person is also God. You don't have that power and you can't get away with it. It's a complete misunderstanding of your own power. Having said that, don't trust what anybody tells you, especially not the things that you tell yourself.

You can, but you would be highly selective of the lies you say.

Definitely no lies to manipulate someone or a situation, mostly lies to not hurt someone if you know it's not necessary and useful to say the truth.

@playdoh Language is a lie, but still we don't want to stop talking.

@Leo Gura lie vs. truth is a duality, right? 

@Shin well said. I've missed your presence man
