Deny the Lie

How do we deny the lie? Is it through making ourselves busy, perfect, fit, fat, rich, poor, clean, untidy.......

If asked outright we usually deny the lie, even to ourselves, we can do this subtly or consciously. 
An example of this is someone asking if we are ok? We answer "I'm fine". If our life was shown in pictures behind us, would the person asking if we are ok, see that our life is not fine? 
This person would see any lie denied and we may feel the lie we have told, sensing the pictures behind us and aware of the truth they represent. How would it feel to share our life?

Exercise 

Take a moment and make yourself comfortable, take a few deep breaths and allow yourself to relax.  Visualise yourself standing in front of yourself and see yourself with the pictures of your life shown behind you?  Identify with what you are denying, without judgement, you are simply looking at what it is and what it isn't.  When you have observed all the pictures, voice what you are seeing to yourself?  As you recognise any denial, the pictures dissolve until all you are left with is yourself.  At this point you may see yourself merge together with yourself. When you are ready take a few slow inhalations and exhalations and feel the weight of your body back in the chair or on the floor where you are. 

The Act of Competition

If we are in competition what are we competing against?

It can be surprising how many acts you do in a day that involve competing on some level. This may occur in business, at your work, going to the gym, with siblings, in a sport, within yourself etc. The act of competition, when you look at it closely is to be better then....... What does this act prove? That we are safe from judgement, bankruptcy, non-love, being not good enough? 

The flip side of the coin is to not compete, never being put in a position where you are shown to be lessor than. So you  quietly exist without creating a ripple or perhaps giving up entering into anything you suspect contains competition because you never feel good enough to compete. What does this act prove? That you are safe from judgement, bankruptcy, non-love, being not good enough? 

Is there a way to simply be yourself in all that you do without being a winner or a loser?

Little Miss Not Knowing

Little Miss Not Knowing would get out of bed each morning not knowing what the day would bring. She would stand in front of her wardrobe not knowing what she was going to wear until she opened the doors and felt her choice of outfit jump out at her. Little Miss Not Knowing would take a shower and dress not knowing what she was going to have for breakfast, only to discover she felt like pancakes when she entered her kitchen. After finishing her breakfast and cleaning up Little Miss Not Knowing had an idea that she would love to go for a walk in nature and call past the Bakery on the way home to buy some Tea Cake not knowing how he would eat a whole Tea Cake by herself. By mid morning she returned home, Little Miss Not Knowing put the kettle on not knowing why she felt to get two tea cups out, when there was a knock at the front door. Little Miss Know it All had come for a visit to tell Little Miss Not Knowing all that she did not know. “How can you possibly live not knowing” Little Miss Know it All tutted over her Tea Cake and tea at Little Miss Not Knowing. “I manage” Little Miss Not Knowing replied with a small smile and a sip of her tea.
