Telling pretty lies is not a form of guidance nor support

A light worker, you might call yourself… If you think of yourself as a light worker, you must realize what that means. A light worker is a person who brings light into darkness and shows where the monsters lie. This is not a person who hides monsters and unpleasant things by escaping further into the light side of things, but quite the opposite; shows where the monsters are so we can deal with them. Unfortunately, a lot of light workers like to hide unpleasant things and make light out of things that should be dragged out into the open and done away with. A light worker is not a person who hides behind pretty stories, pleasantries and well-meaning lies, but tells you how things are, not brutally necessarily, but honestly. A true light worker cannot tell a lie, not even a white one. They should not avoid the unpleasant truths. (If you cannot give honest compliments, don’t compliment people who deserve no compliments and say nothing or speak the truth.) If you cannot keep to the truth, perhaps you shouldn’t give yourself such compliments as “light worker” either, should you?

When an army is sent to a mission to protect their nation, they are quite easily lied to, to give them fool’s courage. But the soldiers know they are being lied to, and instead of finding comfort in not knowing what lies ahead, they are finding it hard to stop their imagination running wild with them, creating more monsters behind the enemy line than what’s really there. This causes a lot of stress and unnecessary fear in the men.

An example a little closer to the home front of well meaning lying is when our girlfriend has just broken up with their boyfriend. You can see the reason blatantly clear, it’s so obvious to you that you wonder why she turns to you for clarity. You know she’s the blame or reason, or whatever the truth is will likely hurt her feelings. You don’t know if she can handle the truth, so you lie a little… You make it his fault rather than hers, or play down the problem she has if you mention it at all. You don’t want to hurt her, but truth hurts sometimes, but you are just delaying the inevitable by telling a lie, and guiding them further from their truthful path rather than the opposite.

We are here to discover who we are in our purest form. Any lie or a coloured truth will confuse us rather than guide us. Certainly, you can make this process easier to deal with for your friend – you may buy them a book that you know deals with their exact problem and say you thought it was interesting so you got them one. You can write generic blog posts and hope they find it or link to a poignant article through Facebook just as your friend signs in. You can tell them the truth kindly, or you can pretend that you are talking about someone else’s exact same problem and hope they tweak to the clue. In fact, this is the more effective method than just slamming the truth in their face and expect them to take it laying down. If you are too harsh on people, they tend to look the other way and pretend they didn’t hear what they heard or that you have some other motivation for saying so – most likely jealousy. It’s kind of the catch all -motivation as far as shoddy psychology goes. If you do lay down the truth in front of someone, do that with the full knowledge you are about to lose a friend. Sometimes a true friend lets you think of you as the enemy if they really need to hear something, rather than let them live in self-deception that is hurtful to them or others.

What is more, we often resort to white lies to build our friends up; to give them a better self-confidence through them. We want them to believe something beautiful about themselves, even if it’s not exactly true. The sad thing is, that IF your friend, child or customer even, believes that white lie, they are going to come crashing down when the truth is revealed to them by the little thing called The Real World. The Real World is not concerned about your friend’s feelings, because it cannot be. It’s job is to show your friend their true self. It hits hard when you don’t know how to get out of its way – and if your friend have been putting blinders on you, you won’t even know what hit you when The Real World passes you by. A real friend will show you your flaws even if it hurts you, and join you on your journey to discover a better you as they discover themselves. Your paths are joined. A real guide will walk you through the path you need to take because they’ve been on the path so many times they know it by heart, and the road to them is one they travel all the time. A sage will show you the road you need to take, point you to it, give you a warning of the perils ahead and wishes you good luck on your journey – but your path is not theirs.

We can be any of the three to the people around us, you will join your path with a soulmate, guide others along the way, and point the direction to others who are on their path to their personal growth. But only the villains of the story will blow smoke in your face and tell you everything is alright when truly it is not. They are misguides and fools. And one more thing: the best of tricksters are really there to show you your true path through confusion and illusions, by showing you all the alternative answers at once. They enjoy confusing you on purpose, because to them, the problem is more important than the solution. But those… They are so rare that you probably will never meet one in your life.
