There was a post online where the person was asking, "What does Bashar says about lying? Is there any difference between "White/subtle lies" versus, more darker/heavier lies?" There were many responses ranging from no to absolutely yes. This is our perspective on honesty, to add to the conversation here. We'd enjoy knowing your perspective if you're excited to share it.
This is a GREAT question. Bashar (and Elan) do not lie. They acts at all times with integrity. Integrity is the knowingness that everything is all one thing, interconnected and whole. Lying is saying something which one knows not to be accurate or forthright. One is either speaking what they know, or they are not, you can't do both with integrity.
As humans, we often make the distinction between a white lie and a regular lie. We characterize a "white lie" as a misrepresentation expressed for a "good reason," but this is simply still a purposeful misrepresentation. And if we tell a so-called white lie, we are not honoring and validating the person or persons we are telling it to by always remaining within our integrity. When one says they lie to not hurt the feelings of another, they are not trusting that they've attracted that other to reflect awareness back and forth, as equals, each offering their own unique gifts.
Basically, this is an example of being responsible "for" someone, as opposed to be responsible "to" them. Bashar encourages us to be responsible "for" our own self, and "to" others. We are responsible "for" ourselves by being the most authentic version of ourselves "to" others. Being responsible "to" others and not "for" them means that we communicate our most authentic self to them, then we validate their power, their reactions and responses, even if we do not agree with their viewpoint.
So, we do not need to "protect" others reactions or responses, only be our most honest, true and authentic selves toward them. Being completely forthright is our unique gift to give, and they have attracted us for that exact reason, to provide a true reflection of who we are. When we tell people what we think they wish to hear, we are allowing them to have an elaborate conversation with themselves. This actually withholds the unique gift that we have to offer in any situation.
Being our most authentic version of ourselves with integrity is to fully and honestly express who we are and not to be deceitful, which is what lying is. A lie is a lie, we always know the difference in our hearts. It is up to us to always be our full selves, or to only partially be ourselves and the the rest of the time be pandering, telling others what we think they need to hear from us. This may not always seem like the easiest option, but it is always the most positive, integrative and authentic option. Being forthright is honoring everyone else as an extension of ourselves.
Given this understanding, if Elan or Bashar were to "appear" or be perceived, to lie, we would suspect that it is always filtering by the receiver, and not actually Bashar lying. Strong words, but we stand by them. Obviously, all of this applies to Elan as well.
Affirmative.
So true. Thank you for this post.
I find that dishonesty or lying feels false in the being. And, the other person will see it sooner or later. It doesn’t get us ‘lasting connection’. It doesn’t bring expansion.
There is a strange strength in being honest. A strange gravity.
Sometimes when i have to speak the most difficult truths, i start to cry or shake. Maybe my body isn’t use to handling the energy. A strange feeling of fear takes over and i perspire. But at the same time, somehow, it doesn’t take a lot of words. I have found that when i want to be honest and i want to truly tell the truth.. i find the simmmmmmmplest sentences. The most basic vocabulary is sufficient.
Indian families are very particularl about what’s allowed and what isn’t. At least, when i was younger. Things are different now. Growing up, I have seen such a lot of my elders and cousins say things they do not mean to please people they do not like. The receivers of the lies were either elders in the family (authority) or they had moeny, or both. I have been dishonest too. To avoid being punished. To keep friends. To keep belonging. To be liked by my teachers. To find easy 2 more grace points on my answer sheet. To not feel left out. But it doesn’t work. It kept me away from the people I truly belonged with.
Worse, i started to lose respect for myself. It weighed me down. Sometimes, I’d stand and stare in dismay at the words i spoke.. as if howwwwww did i just make that up and Whyyyy? My sentences were so extra, so nauseatingly embellished.
But it started one honest truth at a time. I lost people, i was made to leave meetings and discussion where only ‘powerful people spoke’. It was so difficult. But slowly, my spine straightened more than ever before. I slept better. Cosntipation went away and the fear of losing anything also reduced. Whoever/ Whatever left.. brought relief. I’m learning to be more and more honest each day. I teach myself to speak the truth. Sometimes, when I am too afraid, I don’t force me. I keep quiet until i can.
Also, I am very very grateful to be the person whom people speak the most unspeakable truths to. I am now able to be the fearless, no judgement, open ‘listening space’. Listening is indeed one of my highest excitement. I find value in being the vibration of ‘ all acceptance’. Sometimes truths hurt me.. but they set me and the speaker both free so its soooooo amazing.
I love being here in all honesty.
My love to you all.

Great post and topic! 🙏
The following is from one of my websites (a Christ channelling) and for me this really brings it home how important it is to be radically honest and authentic. My rule of thumb is that if I can not be kind while also being radically honest and authentic with someone, the best thing to do is to keep my mouth shut... 😉 which is easier said than done at times! 😂

I want to tell you about the dangers of fragmenting your consciousness.
You do this even when you tell a white lie.
A black lie is a horrendous insult to your own consciousness and to the consciousness of your listener.
You may think that it is of no consequence but when you lie you send out a stream of false consciousness on which you expect other people to build their responses.
Such a hitch in your consciousness, since you know you have lied, creates holes in the fabric of your own consciousness.
Where there are holes in your consciousness there is a hiatus in the life force you expend on activities and goals, and a foul-up in the consciousness which keeps you healthy and happy. Even in your communication, it will cause a lack of the vibrancy and certainty that those with whole and healthy consciousness fabrics, are able to impart when speaking to others or even simply leaving a spoken message.
A healthy consciousness is created when you treat others as you would like to be treated. Therefore, fulfill your promises or make provision that the breaking of a promise will not cause undue frustration or unhappiness or difficulty.
Tell the truth in such a way as your listener will not be offended. Love always finds a way.
Do not ‘fabricate’ stories to make yourself a hero or heroine or victim.
Do not exaggerate a circumstance in any way since you can send another person away with a falsehood in their minds. This can be more injurious to them than you can imagine. Never, ever cause another person to stumble or fall along their daily path.
Let everything you think, say and do, be a harmonious whole directed in your mind and heart by love and concern for every other person’s wellbeing. In this way, you create the foundation of a whole, happy life for yourself. You create the type of consciousness which is easily attuned to that of Divine Consciousness.
Then, miracles happen.
If you lack success, examine your consciousness. Do you keep your word?
❤️❤️❤️
Perfect answer! Being dishonest to someone reflects back to us that we are hiding certain things from ourselves because we don't want to face them. But by being honest you have nothing to fear. You play with open cards. It shows that you trust yourself and others will trust you as well. So even the white lies or subtle lies are.. well, still lies. Why is someone lying in a subtle way.. what are they scared of or resisting. Honesty is welcoming and what I call "tough love" sometimes. 😄 So, being honest to yourself and others is also an act of love. ♥ And let's be honest (🙃), I don't know about anyone that would be happy about a white lie (or any lie) if they figure it out. Most people want to know what's going on. There is a german saying called "Lügen haben kurze Beine." which just translates to "Lies have short legs." 😄 It means that lies won't last for a long time.. they just ask for being uncovered. 😎
