Honesty may not imply truthfulness of who we are

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.
