Leaving the Cave of Inner Dishonesty...

To love, is to truly live. To give, is to expand and grow. To share, is to become more.

However, there are in us... certain aspects... which forcefully and subtly tug us away from honestly expressing our innate, irresistible desire to love, to become more.

So we become pulled in many directions (inside of our minds), and at times, end up feeling torn apart.

These aspects express themselves through the voices of doubt, fear, blame, and manipulation (which is borne of fear). They are born in the cave of dishonesty about our own emotions, our habits, and our weaknesses. When we are dishonest about ourselves to ourselves, we dishonour ourselves.

How about if we stop listening to these aspects, stop taking them seriously, begin just watching them without acting on them... and instead, allow honesty to shine forth?

Honesty will shine forth when we realize that we are safe... that we are actually better off... if we allow it to shine forth.

And it is only through inner honesty that love has a chance to pour out.
