Depression, pain, and fear are gifts that say, "Sweetheart, take a look at your thinking in this moment. You're living in a story that isn't true for you." Living a lie is always stressful. And investigating a lie through The Work always leads you back to who you are. Who you are is not an option. You are love. It hurts to believe you're other than who you are, to live any story less than love.
It's good that it hurts. Pain is the signal that you're confused, that you're in a lie.
Who would you be if you didn't believe this lie?
You can't drop concepts. You can only shine a little flashlight on them as you do inquiry, an you see that what you thought was true wasn't. And when the truth is seen, there's nothing you can do to make the lie true for you again.
Realizing that people should lie when they do makes me a little more open-minded, a little more tolerant, when my child or my partner lies.
