I use the word "My" to describe that this is reflective of my experience. Some of you might happen to agree based on your experience. Some of you may believe what I am telling you is a blatantly obvious truth. It doesn't matter nonetheless. There are some people though that might benefit from being reminded or having their eyes opened. Like me for example, I know I need the reminder.
1. Dishonesty works on other dishonest people or the naive. If you have no boundaries or you are dishonest with yourself, you will allow all sorts of dishonest people into your life. Chances are you won't want to hear honesty from anyone and these people will be shut out.
2. Dishonesty often leads to confusion in the mind and feelings of an individual. When a person is confused about what they want, they want other people to make up their mind for them. Confused people may act irresponsibly in regards to the feelings of other people.
3. Honesty works with honest people. It's just that simple.
4. Honesty and dishonesty never go well together. An honest person can see the truth in themselves and it helps guide them away from danger. The dishonest person is just afraid of everyone and may not even trust in his or own instincts- remember the rule about confusion.
5. Real honesty comes from what you feel. It doesn't often come from the mind. The mind is where memories are stored and used to help steer you away from trouble. However, the mind can also cause fear and can create drama based on that fear.

Honesty and Dishonesty.
Over the course of the last couple days, I am starting to notice what kind of person is a dishonest one. I also know what kind of person is an honest one. This is pretty reflective in a way and I am aware that anything I say right now may not be reflective of anyone I write about it. It just so happens that what I am writing will likely have many people agreeing with this entry based on their own self-reflections. This is the consequence of what I am writing now. With this, You should be able to tell that my writing is very clear right now and that the drama that was evident in my previous few entries is not really existent in this one.
What is a dishonest person and what is an honest person? I have covered fear, responsibility and how the mind works from a very spiritual perspective in previous posts before. I am covering this topic from a spiritual point as well. A common trait among everyone regardless of how honest they are is that the way they treat others is often a reflection of how they treat themselves.
What I know about the dishonest person is quite simple:
1. Always afraid to live
2. Will not deal with his or her fears.
3. Words don't mean a thing to them and their actions might not either.
4. Always concerned about what they want for themselves without any real concern about the consequences.
5. Always looking for an advantage over others.
6. Believes in their own limitations and fears.
7. Afraid to break any agreements that have made them unhappy.
8. Always seeking approval and acceptance from others without finding it from within first.
9. Disregards his or her own spirit and heart in favour of the the self-inflated ego.
10. May not see the big picture (favours short term fulfillment over long term fulfillment)
The Honest person shows the following:
1. His or her word is always truthful, actions may back up the words.
2. Takes responsibility for his or herself in regards to their words and actions.
3. Does their very best to live.
4. Does their best not to make assumptions
5. Does their best not to take things personally
6. Isn't afraid to make the attempt to live freely and happy and show love.
7. Not afraid to break agreements that make them unhappy.
8. Doesn't waste all of their energy on any unneeded drama.
9. Spends the least amount of effort in helping others and spends the effort in loving what they are doing.
10. Realizes that things they say is reflective of who they are and not of anyone else.
With that being said, it seems as if dishonest people are interested in what they can get right now or over the short term without worrying about the consequences. A dishonest person is never free because he believes all the lies he is fed and lives in his own personal hell. It seems as if the dishonest person cannot see the big picture and feels no responsibility for himself.
Honest people are free and are aware of who they are and can see the big picture and understand the consequences of their actions. They take responsibility for who they are and their actions. They know that whatever they feel is just a reflection of themselves and not of anyone else.
