FUN AND GAMES BY LYING TO YOURSELF
Robert Farmilo
Self-Deceit requires that you play at least two roles at the same time. You have to be the deceiver and the deceived. It is a bit like trying to put yourself in your own coffin and bury yourself after you are already dead.
One way to think of deceiving yourself is that you are distorting reality...it is a form of REALITY DISTORTION.
Watch this Video
Choose the one that is the closest fit with your personal style of self-deception.
Here is how you do it:
- Look at each image.
- Read the title of each image.
- Note the image that you look at that gives you a truth jolt.
- Go through the images a second time and read the title.
- If you get a truth jolt from another image, note the number.
- When done, refer to the conundrum and solution code listed after the images.
The Conundrum and Solution Code
for Your Form of Self-Deception
More background about being okay with consciously and subconsciously accepting your own self-deluding self-deceit.
The ground state of self-deception is the inability to be truthful with yourself.
Self-deception, key points:
Attempting to fool and deceive yourself into believing things that are not true or real.
Not believing something that is true or real.
Believing things that are not real or true.
Self-deception is living in an alternate and often distorted reality that we conjure up on a daily basis to maintain our sense of personal safety.
It is very protective and works as a form of self-preservation...and it can become quite primal, as a strong force of thinking that gives you a sense of self-survival.
It keeps you from actively embracing and accepting information that you don’t want to admit or acknowledge, simply because it’s too hard or too painful, or it’s something you don’t want to be true.
Sometimes this happens because knowingly (and possibly publicly) revealing that we are wrong is too much, and we will hold on to falsehoods to save face.
And so in these ways, self-deception is all the things that you just can’t quite acknowledge, but that doesn’t magically transform unreality into reality, or the lies you tell yourself into the truth.
