Hi-do mates:

I don’t understand others because I don’t understand myself. Or worse I
think I understand another, while I hold them encapsulated in contempt
through my own imagined projections of my own negative emotions. I lie
to others and myself because I am unable to touch the “Truth”. As I
have already stated else where the “Truth” is extremely “High” and far
from me as an individual. At ‘best’ I might catch a fleeting glimpse as
the pendulum zooms back and forth past center. But a lie is a much
closer “peace of work” to myself, that I actually have the immediate
potential of understanding. Lying to myself is one of the chief
obstacles to my own personal inner development. In this respect lying
is my ‘oh so’ natural tendencies to talk about things I do not know, or
can not know, as though I do know. With “right effort” these
personality structures of self-inflected delusions have the possibility
of being exposed in the light of this “Work” (id…self-observation).

Good night all ye princesses and princes of this “Work” domain.

lou
