“This is a very important discovery. We’re taught to lie as children with Christmas, the tooth fairy, the Easter Bunny etc………..because it sets up a pattern in the mind of “tell lies, especially if it makes people smile”. What most people don’t understand about the brain is that what ever belief system and programming we adopt into the mind, it washes over us first, with the most powerful signal. Like any radio transmission tower (in any given city) the strongest signal is right at the tower. The same goes for the human mind. If we believe lying is good, especially if it makes people happy, we actually lie to ourselves in the same manner…….but we lie harder to ourselves because we are the originating source of the belief. Our society is a lie based society, with everything from a doctor telling parents that vaccines are safe and effective (which has never been proven) to a teacher telling a student that Christopher Columbus discovered America. In fact most official and government occupations today require various degrees of lying, so by default we start believing that lying is normal, acceptable and just the way things are. We then start lying daily, mostly to ourselves, to make ourselves smile about a life we don’t enjoy living. We are drowning in lies and it damages our internal GPS and interferes greatly with our moral compass, to the point where we can stay forever lost. Good work. You’re making great progress. Take your time with filling out the questionnaire a second time. This discovery alone is extremely valuable in the coaching process.”
