What’s the biggest lie people believe?

The biggest lie sold to humanity is that there’s someone or something coming to save it. There isn’t. The harsh truth is that every single person on the planet must face her own mental landscape on her own terms. No one is responsible for anyone else’s human experience. Yet, if we look around, it’s easy to see some person or another who claims the ability to solve others’ problems. Here’s the thing though: We all what we need to face the circumstances of our lives.

These people are little more than predators who sell a lie using fear. Whether they’re using God’s judgment or some other concept, they will use their followers’ fear to get at the one thing they want more than anything: Money.

Two basic questions dog all of humanity: 1) Why am I here?; and, 2) For how long? and there are those who claim to able to provide answers and those claims are often very dangerous. Even within the mental health treatment community, there exist therapists who claim that their methods can solve their clients’ problems. But no one knows why humanity exists. Furthermore, no one knows what’s at the core of someone else’s abyss. I suspect that most people who seek some external means of solving their problems are wrestling with some aspect of the two (2) basic questions. However, the only answers that really anyone else can truly provide is, “I have no idea.”

Now, priests will point to the Bible as the end all be all source of knowledge and say things like, “God loves you and through God, all things are possible,” which may be true, but how are those types of bromides supposed to help people who’ve lost all sense of meaning and purpose within their lives? I mean, sure, people might feel better while in their priest’s presence, but what are they supposed to do when they’re alone, in the dark and their demons rise? I know, for a fact, that there’s no one coming to quash my demons. When they rise, it’s just me and them.

So, people try out different ways and means of finding their truth and many stop with their priest, coach or therapist and end up believing in the lie. But what priests, coaches, and therapists don’t want us to know is that we don’t need them. Every single member of the human race has the capacity to find their own answers. It’s just that most give up before they learn to trust themselves.
