Deception. What is it, what are the sources of it, how can we do it a little bit better? Misplaced trust.
The World
• Media Advertising Religion Politics
People
• Those with hidden agendas Power struggles Workplace Close relationships & friendships
Ourselves-This is the “root”. If we get this right, then we lessen (not eliminate) the possibility of being deceived.
• Maintain our biases out of fear. Fear of change. Fear that there is a different truth.
• Lack of good judgement
• As an escape route.
• Hear what we want to hear. We lie to ourselves and often don’t even realize it.
• Can we trust our heart/emotions/passions?
• Laziness. We convince ourselves that we can’t change, simply don’t want to.
DOING IT A LITTLE BETTER INCLUDES:
• Cultivating discernment
o Extrinsic
o Intrinsic
• Your tribe of 5. Give them permission to call you out and speak the truth.
• Examine your motives. Ask the “whys”.
• Stop taking constructive criticism as a personal attack.
• Stop trying to convince everyone that you’re right.
• Quit doubting yourself. Cultivate wisdom so you can trust your instincts and feelings.
Mystic MacNuggets to consider:
• If everyone is thinking the same thing, then someone isn’t thinking.
• Some things are just unimagineable. Be thankful that our hubris has limits.
• Supersize your idea of truth
• Even if you can’t set it right…see it right.
• Diligence has an impish twin..avoidance. Dress them differently.
• Trust yourself enough to break your own rules.-Tama Kieves
