The Truth about Lying →
beyondthemat:
Lying, that is, being inauthentic, makes us unhappy. And remember, Satya, or Truth, is the 2nd of yoga’s yamas (observances), and is foundational to almost all spiritual paths. Lying occurs in various forms, and Lauren nicely spells them out in this article.
Here are a few of the ways that we lie:
Being nice
Not speaking up
Covering your ass
Hiding the truth
Big secrets
...
“Don’t demonize your adversaries. It makes them more defensive and less receptive...”
– #5 in 13 Principles of Spiritual Activism from the Satyana Institute (via beyondthemat)
“I penetrate the sex of
the whole earth, her heat
chars me and my entire body...”
– excerpt from Frida Kahlo’s Diary (via stellablu)
