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.
