Quite recently, I had to ask some very difficult questions and assumed honesty would prevail. Unfortunately, the kind of revelation that I had hoped for did not happen. A lot of our best lessons are learned in the dark with shadow. When I asked the very direct questions, the most honest answers were those that the other party could not afford to offer. The answers would have been simple, even liberating, and most definitely cushioned by deep trust, if not love. However, it was in that moment that I realized as a looked upon this other face as they smiled radiantly and then offered me a warm hug...that they had lied. I could feel the energy change. I could feel and see it. I knew. Actually, I knew before I asked the questions. (So why did I need the validation? Maybe I will save that for another post. lol! Errr...ego...we all have one!) When we lie or omit the truth, we are not only doing a disservice to a friend, colleague or whomever. We are being dishonest with ourselves. The greatest gift that we can offer is our honest self. Anything less than that speaks volumes of were we are on a personal level. What kind of a person do you want to be? If the truth hurts, then maybe its because it matters. Honesty will always remain the best policy. As for the other person, if you are ever in a similar situation...just send them love. It is not our place to judge where someone else is on their journey. They will perhaps figure this out later on when it is beneficial to their growth and in their own time. Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to stick around for that either. Lol. Perhaps in that moment, your energies have decidedly become incompatible. Why am I posting this? Well, when interactions like this occur we tend to take it personally and then our ego kicks into to overdrive. In my case, I asked the question. Cause and effect. I had to receive an answer. How the other person reacts/responds is not for us to judge. We must step forward, letting whatever energy we had invested in that interaction go. I feel good about it. There is truth in that dishonesty. Now I know. Love and light to all.
