JOY: “I’ve been trying to find and experience my own truth, and the ways that I’m doing it are not necessarily aligned with other people’s beliefs about what’s right and wrong, and in so doing I’ve thought that I had to be deceptive or deceive certain people in my life, at least for a certain time period, in order to allow myself to be who I am, who I want to be. But I’ve come into conflict with that sometimes, sometimes maybe guilt or just wondering should I be doing this. Do I need to really be honest with everyone all the time or what?”
ELIAS: “Honesty is an interesting belief (laughter) and incorporates many different forms. I shall express to you, it is not a matter of being honest or not being honest. It is a matter of allowing yourself to express yourself and to expose, and you may choose what you expose and with whom, but to be exposed with yourself. In this, you shall allow yourself to receive the energies that you want in association with other individuals.
“Do not concern yourself with honesty; it is a tricky business! (Laughter) And it is quite relative. Therefore concern yourself with exposure rather than honesty.” [session 1447, September 27, 2003]
