HONESTY

Honesty is a very important principal,

If you can be honest with yourself & also other people this will help your growth on all levels. 

Being honest isn't about morality, because most of the lies we tell ourselves and others, are unconscious! meaning consciousness is unconscious of some aspect of the self mind activities, maybe there is still some stubborn belief In the self.

There is a lot of bias in the self, because it is a living organism that needs to persist, and survive. Its capacity for self deception is rather amazing.

There are so many forms of deception, the list is endless. And this needs attention.

Not Keeping your word 

Not Being aware when there is some self biased activity

When you are projecting onto others 

When you are defensive

When you are afraid

When you lie 

When you are judging others

Truth & wisdom go hand in hand.

The Self is constructed on a essential principle of living organisms, that is survival.

That's why we have the fight of flight response when danger is perceived, these types of automatic impulses are a clear sign of this very principle of survival work.

It goes much deeper than that. So look into it for yourself.

But don't underestimate the power of being as truthful as possible.

So theres no time like now to get started, write something honest is the comment section to get you on the road to truth.

peace

I agree honesty is of the utmost importance. However... to be honest can be scary.

When you are honest with yourself you expose all of your lies and inconsistencies and are forced to face the truth.

When you are aware of the truth you are forced to change... or live a lie.

@Bodhi123

its scary to you as a "self" the main function of being a self is to survive & promote well being for itself. Being brutally honest with oneself could be seen as threatening because at times it might not align with that.

Truth is what I will align myself with, regardless of fear.

1) I liked what you wrote.

2) I found that I am pretty weak at contemplation and I get off track so easily. Also I realized that I had been believing that I was doing some contemplation! and believing that I was even good at something that I was not practicing at all?  what about that?! Good times!?

@Sevi The perfect time then to adhere to a practice of honesty. Spotting when you are not being 100% authentic with yourself & others is a fantastic contemplation to get you started.
