Honesty is about facts related to the things that you can perceive or imagine. But behind these facts is an observer, a listener, or the experiencer who is usually a bodily being.
Truth about the experiencer is false, if his or her belief is that the self is a bodily being. When this belief is actualized, it works in our perceptions of ageing body, in the conflicts, tensions, fears, etc.
Though honesty is helpful to transparantly comunicate , it may not lead to experience the transcendental aspect of the self, which is real.
If transcendence of the self is not felt in between our experiences of facts, we are not truthful about the reality of the self, in spite of our honesty about the facts.
In other words, our truthfulness is in touching the transcendental aspects of the self from an experience to experience. If such truthfulness is missed, we only allow ourselves in the continuity of our past experiences into the future thoughts.
Today, we are struck in different conflicts. This is a sign of missing the truth about our true identity.

Honesty is a vehicle to the Truth
Honesty is an ability to watch your thoughts as they are without distortions or justifications.
Just being honest is not about being true as per the Truth. You can be truthful, in an ordinary sense of language. This means you are transparent, and represent your thoughts without distortions in-side and out-side out, in your communication.
Honesty helps us to the beliefs behind our perceptions. But we need courage to disassociate ourselves from the emotions associated with those beliefs.
Courage , detachment, and openness lead us to explore the ideas beyond our beliefs.
The Truth is also some such ideas. These are also facts which you can state in English. These need not be rational. These are actualized based on belief in them.
Our journey to the Truth is all about how far we travel in our honesty to recognize them, when these are waiting in disguise.

To appreciate God, realize that He is not religious
We have a great historical burden of religions, and other beliefs about God, which limit our understanding Him. To know Him, as He is a challenge. Also it is fun. TO know Him as it is, we need to empty the beliefs about Him from our consciousness.
We had corrupted the idea of ourselves as a bodily beings. Such corruption also led to the idea of God as a human form. Well some religions mixed the human form with animals too. We can always find rationalizations for such practices.
One approach to discover Him is by realizing and focusing ourselves as infinitesimal point energy beings. And also realizing and focusing on him as a infinitesimal point energy being, is a way to engage a relation with Him to discover Him as He is.
The idea of the self and God as infinitesimal points of energies could be quite logical. Moreover realizing and actualizing the idea is a way to discover Him as He is, and how he is distinct from religions. His personality is not a religion. A religion could be a method to reach Him. But He is not conditioned by any religion.
The idea could be another beginning to make ourlives very peaceful, and powerful life, without tensions, stress, fears, etc. Also beneficial to allow ourselves on the path of constant self development, as the idea is a tool for cleaning the mind from different pollutions of the self.

Joyously experiencing death
It looks to be a strange thing to imagine. But it is sweetly possible, when you switch your awareness from a bodily being to an eternal point of energy source.
When you remain in the consciousness of your self as a soul, an eternal point of light, you experience yourself to be outside the flow of time. The past, present, and future do not work.
It looks to be a strange place to get in. But it is quite addicting, and nourishing to the self. The mind becomes free from the old habits of pain, tensions, fears, frustrations, depressions, etc.
The self gets back to its original awareness, without the distortions caused by associations with the body. The old ideas of the body and its relations to the self cease. When that happens, physical death seems to be a transitory experience with elegance and joy.
There is that freshness, and innocence from the ceasing of the self from its identification with the body.
