The longer term shift

                              

.
Today so many of our words are lies

.
Lies we use without thinking
.
And where the sentences are not lies they carry hidden assumptions
.
Like the phrase human nature
.
There is no such thing separate from ourselves
.
Most of us have not thought of this, do not think of this
.
Not realising how this simple expression creates an artificial divide
.
Another we often use is the expression "is like" implying that something is the same as something else, when it either is or it is not
.
Or matter and spirit which are not two separate things they are two aspects of one and the same thing
.
If we were to examine how often we make false distinctions between ourselves and whatever it is we are saying we would be quite shocked
.
Poor lonely us isolated in a big nasty world
.
Just a story of our making for that is what it is and we are slowly beginning to awaken from this story
.
Stories we have told ourselves since we were little
.
Maybe we were shouted at and that became 'nobody likes me'
.
We live in a world of interpretation we created that we mistake for reality.
.
We live in our stories
.
Which then create events to justify themselves and strengthen the prison of our story
.
A story where we are the victims
.
Fast forward many years and here you are manipulating
.
Controlling
.
Weaving and ducking
.
And all because many, many years ago
.
You were frightened and created this strategy to avoid and hide the fear 
.
A fear created by your fear
.
A story you told yourself

.
On a broader wider scale the same is true of humanity
.
We told ourselves stories and over time these have become unchallengeable truths
.
Such as Darwin's ideas, except he actually had other ideas little mentioned about cooperation and not competition.
.
These are seldom talked about as it would mean examining our understanding of ourselves and our role in nature.
.
Our stories
.
Easier to continue with the lies
.
Problem is lies have a habit of coming back at us
.
When at long last someone challenges them.
.
We then have to create new ones.
.
Then slowly we accept the new thinking implicit in this new story
.
Until it too becomes the unchallengeable orthodoxy
.
And so it goes on
.
Slow learners humanity
.
The difference now is that many stories are coming unglued
.
The pace of life is making it hard to sustain them
.
Giddy times where the orthodoxy can no longer sustain its lies
.
And you are part of these times.
.
You too are living in this period of unprecedented change.
. 
How are your stories?
.
How do you handle the stories society uses?
.
Do you try to find the truth of things?
.
Or do you just go with the flow?
