The Destructive Power of Falsehood
I was inspired to write this post about what is currently happening.
My daughter called me because she was upset with her mother. She had gotten banned from coming to the family dinner. I explained that she shouldn’t take it personally or get bent out of shape.
My daughter is an adult now, and her and her mother’s relationship is rocky. She was upset because she felt like her mother manipulated her family to get them to ban her from dinner.
The Backdrop
I have been a hothead most of my life. I am passionate about who and what I love. Anyone who knows me knows this, and manipulative people can exploit that passion for their benefit. The mother of my children is one of the main contributors to this fact.
I went back and forth with my mother for decades over this woman. All for what I was fighting to prove wrong, what I later found to be the truth.
I have grown and healed from a lot of my childhood traumas. I have found peace because you don’t have to change people; you only have to grow and move forward.
Peace of Mind
Once you find peace and heal, the manipulator’s hold and power are gone; they had only the power I gave them.
Being lied to causes hurt feelings at the minimum and leads to death at the end of the spectrum. There are channels dedicated to people who lashed out or violently struck back at their manipulators.
This example is extreme to some readers, but more will understand. It is a dangerous game to play with a person’s insanity. You might drive them insane.
As an adult, you are familiar with what a liar is. You may have a story about when you were lied to, didn’t follow your judgment, and allowed someone to manipulate you. I have been there more times than I have to document in this blog post.
What is a Lie?
1: to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive
As defined by Merriam/Webster’s Dictionary.
I found the definition of the word ‘lie’ intriguing. The word ‘lie’ as it is applied here is a verb. However, the word ‘lie’ as it stands is a noun.
That is interesting. Why?
A noun describes a person, place, or thing. Lie is a descriptive word. The ‘lie’ is another version of the word ‘lay’. In the form of a noun, it carries a whole different meaning.
4 . British: an act or instance of lying or resting
When a person tells a lie, it changes the word ‘lie’ from a noun into a verb, giving it action. How? The ‘lies’ falsehoods are injected into the brain, where they lie dormant to be processed.
The Minister
Minster Farrakhan said Elijah taught that the brain could not process false information. It will reject the information as false and send it to be reprocessed by the conscious mind.
Furthermore, the brain works like a computer to analyze the data. Forcing your brain to accept information that isn’t true will damage the brain.
I could end this post immediately, but let’s break this down.
Digging Deeper
If you are unfamiliar with “The Minster,” I will link his works in the name.
Why am I saying this?
Elijah told him this decades before: we know what we know now about the brain. It’s not about who did what first; it’s about truth being revealed to people so they can truly heal. It is about how we now have scientific proof that lies destroy the brain.
Brother Nuri Muhammad describes it as going sixty miles per hour in forward motion, and then you throw the car in reverse. He continues his analogy by stating that repeated lies processed by the brain throw off one’s transmission as if you were to repeat the same techniques with a car’s motor.
That is a pretty accurate statement. When people you trust lie to you, it gives you false information and, therefore, a false reality. Depending on how much you trust this person, they could disconnect you from reality, making you look delusional to everyone else.
What’s the point?
I have exposed close family members as being liars; they are my family, and I do my best to be there for them. But anyone who doesn’t allow liars in their ‘circle’ can agree; that gets tender. Where do you draw the line in the sand? Nobody likes or wants to be lied to.
I am not going to continue any further. There is no need to.
