On the importance of telling the truth...
...if we want to be told the truth
Background to this article
Back some time in the “naughties” I had a website called “Reptilians Exposed”. I took it down, after more than a million views, when I realised it was doing more harm than good; that my readers were not emotionally mature enough to differentiate between reptilians and demons and were getting themselves into all sorts of trouble that I was ill-equipped to help them out of.
At that time I realised the nature of the beast we were up against, and awoke to the fact that we could not elude them with logic and intelligence. They are a hive mind and are vastly more intelligent than we are. Our only tool through which we can gain freedom from them is our emotions (a capacity they do not have), and we are very bad at managing those emotions.
So I stopped talking about reptilians, but alas, they did not go away. Whatever label you want to place on the problems now besetting the human race, they are indisputably getting worse.
I did actually identify what I thought then, and still think, is our solution. It’s a solution that is terribly easy to say and terribly hard to do. But here goes. This is what I wrote back then, mildly modified with the removal of references that have gone out of date.
We can overthrow “reptilian control”, or whatever the hell it is that is controlling us, by telling the truth, being the truth and living the truth. We cannot be manipulated by them if we do not fear the truth.
I am sorry if this is a step too far for my readers on Substack. It seems to be time to come out of the closet. Ana Maria Mihalcea has done it. Naomi Wolf has done it. My turn.
Tell the truth, live the truth, be the truth
I see a lot of people calling for "them" to tell the truth. They want the truth about 9/11 and the truth about ET visitation, and that is commendable. It would be really nice if the politicians, the bankers, the drug companies, the governments, the controllers told us the truth.
But in mysticism there is law - this is a hidden law of nature that is studied by occultists, "As Above, So Below". This law tells us that everything that exists on one level of our being exists on all levels of our being. It is the true foundation of a lot of the new age mumbo jumbo currently being taught which waters it down to something ineffectual. Applied correctly it is the law behind phenomena like The Hundredth Monkey and it is truly the way we can change the world.
To learn about the "As Above, So Below" law - The Principle of Correspondence - read The Kybalion, by Three Initiates - not the modernised version which has been corrupted, but the original 1912 version.

What constitutes lies?
So let's say we embark on a campaign to get somebody out there to tell us the truth. We know we need to sound credible when we are dealing with them, so we embellish the truth about ourselves to make ourselves seem bigger or stronger or better educated or more successful or more credentialed. We know we need to recruit more helpers, so we build our image to entice in new helpers. We know we need to impress those helpers too, in order to keep them. They need us to be bigger, stronger, better than them, so that they can follow us. Ooops, “follow us”. Is that what we want? Us as leaders lying to our followers? So who is not telling the truth now? We have now become a smaller scale of "them", the people we are trying to get to tell us the truth.
The "As Above, So Below" law tells us that we cannot possibly change the lying, the subterfuge, the manipulation that is happening on one level of our being without changing it on each and every level of our being. We must embody "the truth" if we want to be told the truth.
I maintain that we will never "know the truth" about something outside of ourselves until we ourselves tell the truth, live the truth, become the truth. This will become contagious. Those who tell the truth are trusted. Others around them learn to tell the truth. Truth is contagious. The more people live truthfully and relate truthfully, the harder it becomes for those around them to sustain a lie. This is a true bottom up revolution and the yin side of the yang external political movements like 9/11 truth etc. Change starts with the self and moves out from there.
Lies destroy trust
Everyone is lying? Have you noticed? It's even regarded as clever to lie. But what happens when we lie to one another? With the first lie, we break that bond of trust. The person we have lied to can never again trust us to be telling them the truth, and so they will always, from then on, withhold that precious part of themselves, that part we call trust. No, that is not an overstatement. From the point of the first lie on, they know we will lie to them again when we find it convenient to do so. The trust is gone; the magic is gone.
Obviously, people do not react so strongly to the first lie. Loyalty can sustain a lot of abuse. But from the time of the first lie we mark time; we soldier on; we avoid processing the lie, leaving it in the "in-tray" and hoping it will go away, but of course it never does. We may even forget about it for a while - it is now buried in the bottom draw with all the old unprocessed paperwork. But guess what? Along comes the next lie, and we dig it back out, and there are now two of them sitting unprocessed in the in-tray.
If we have a serious stake in the relationship, we may even collect twenty or thirty or fifty or five hundred of these before we react, but the lack of outward reaction in no way conceals that a larger and larger part of ourselves is withdrawn from the relationship. In the end there is nothing left but logistics to hang on to, joint bank accounts, children, common friends, workplace contracts... There can be no love and eventually no loyalty where all trust has been betrayed.
So what has this to do with politics, reptilians and the New World Order? Everything. Trust is the glue that creates human society. Without it we are individuals lost in a sea of other individuals, unable to organise into a united force against those who would destroy us. Trust bonds us together so that the whole is more than the sum of the parts. We become a force to be reckoned with, but what is left if we do not trust the word of the person standing next to us?
Forget all the "love and light" messages abounding in the new age stratosphere. What is this "love" without truthfulness and trust? We must stop telling lies, now, today, or all else is futile.
On the power of telling the truth
We are living in a world where we believe that man is born bad and has to be made good. It is the core premise of all of our middle eastern religions (Judaeo/Christian/Islam) and underlies all of our cultures. From it springs all of our political and legal systems where people have to be taught to be good from childhood and forced to be good in adulthood.
This is quite simply wrong. For many of us, when we look within, we know it is wrong. We know that, at our core, we are good, so how is it that other people can do the things they do?
My position is that we do "bad" things because we are trying to survive in a dreadful culture that forces us to do "bad" things in order to survive. From childhood we learn to over-rule our consciences and our compassion for others in order to survive. We are not born bad; the culture makes us bad.
My premise is that people are innately good and do bad things that they think are necessary for survival. Our innate compassion or empathy tells us the right thing to do, and our conscience tells us when we have betrayed that. Both of these, our compassion and our conscience talk to us through our emotions, and the more we repress our emotional truth, the further away we get from our conscience.
For example, we work in a corporate workplace. We have a nasty boss who sets us up against a peer. We do the wrong thing by our peer in order to please our boss. Our emotional empathy for our peer tells us not to do what our nasty boss wants us to do. Our survival instinct tells us we have to do it, so we repress our empathy and do it. Our conscience pricks - we feel bad about ourselves, which is uncomfortable. Eventually we learn not to empathise with workmates and drive our conscience far enough back that we can barely hear it, all in the name of survival.
To reverse this, we simply start telling the truth and take the consequences. In the example above, our truth is to tell the boss we won't do it, whatever it is, and the reason why. If we lose our job, sobeit - that is the price we have to pay to retain our integrity - to tell our truth.
So how do we bring about the re-integration of emotions that I believe will lead to the re-emergence of compassion and conscience? I think that simple process gets triggered when we start telling our personal truth. I suspect that this action will inevitably lead to the re-integration of our emotions, which in turn will inevitably lead to the re-emergence of conscience and compassion. With conscience and compassion in place we do not need the "stern father" of the Judaeo/Christian/Islamic traditions (the God of the Old Testament) who disciplines the sinful child.
This is a bottom up revolution. We start with the self. We offer everyone around us a moratorium on telling the truth - that is, we promise not to react badly to any truth they tell us, however bad it might be. We wipe the slate clean and start again, even if the process causes us pain. (The Christians might call this forgiveness.) We use ourselves to test how this process can work. If we can make it work well for us, it will work well for all those who have told us their truth - they will feel relieved of the burden of lying to us. If they feel good enough about it, the idea will go viral. That's my revolution.
Different perspectives on why telling the truth matters
My theory on why telling the truth is important first evolved out of my research on reptilians and how they take control over the human conscience, but I confess that this is too far out for most people to deal with.
I can also couch the importance of telling the truth in mystical terms. For anyone who has a grasp of group mind, egregore, morphic fields, thought memes, the Law of Correspondence (as above so below) and how they function, it is easy to see that if we want to be told the truth we need to tell the truth.
Surely it is also easy to see how important it is in personal relationships? Truth and trust go together. People can trust a person who tells them the truth. I watch human relationships, particularly marriages, where lying to our partner is part of the contract and wonder at how these people can claim to love one another. Surely love and trust must be twins? How can one exist without the other, and how can there be trust without truth? What better way could there be to deepen a relationship than by telling the truth?
Then there is pop and new age psychology. We are told we must take responsibility for our own actions; we are told we must learn to forgive ourselves so that we can forgive others. That's all good, so where does it start? It starts with telling the truth about ourselves. When I happily confess that I am" bitter and twisted", several things happen. First, by allowing myself to see the truth about myself, I am taking the first step in taking responsibility for the outcome of that truth. I can say, "Oh, there I go again, that's my bitter and twisted side talking". In other words I can take responsibility. And once I have the courage to see the truth and take responsibility, I can forgive myself, and I can forgive others. There is a straight line from telling the truth, through taking responsibility, to forgiving the self and forgiving others.
Do we need any more reasons to grasp the importance of telling the truth? But I am truthful, I hear you protest. Really?
Truth consciousness - a short course
You think you are truthful? Try this little course in truthfulness. It gets tougher as the week goes on.
Monday: Find one white lie you have told in the past, and go tell the person you lied to. This is something that no longer matters. "Yes is was me who broke the handle off the teapot." Or find one situation where you should have told the truth and didn't. "Last time I was in here, you charged me the wrong price on those grapefruit. I owe you $2.00".
Tuesday: Identify one small secret fear you are living with now and share it. "You know, I get pretty scared about losing my job." Or find one "omission" you are living with - something you don't tell other people that is going on inside you, perhaps that you fear you might be ridiculed for. "I believe in ghosts." Make sure it is something that won't freak the other person out.
Wednesday: Find one small lie you are maintaining with someone close to you, and tell them. "You know that striped jumper I told you that you look fabulous in. Really, I don't like it." Make sure it is not too challenging, and if you need to, soften the blow with a truth. ..."but I really love that new red one".
Thursday: Find one big lie you are maintaining in order to earn money. Are you pretending to like the work, are you pretending to be better than you are, or worse than you are. Are you pretending to like a client or like a boss, or like a workmate, or like a product you really can't stand or don't trust. If you are like most of us, you could fill a page with these lies. Write down as many as you can think of, but don't share them with those affected unless you are ready to earn your income a different way. You may want to share them with a friend who is not associated with your workplace so that you can hear yourself say them out loud.
Friday: Find one thing that you feel guilty about and say it out loud; something that haunts you. If you have someone you really trust, share it. If you don't want to share it, ask yourself why. "You know, I was pretty insensitive towards my mother back then. I didn't realise she was sick and I would do it differently now if I could."
Saturday: Find one big lie you are maintaining with someone close to you. Don't share this one. Just start working out what the flow on is from it - is it leading you into a bigger and bigger web of lies? What would be the consequences if you told the truth? Is there any way you can extract yourself without destroying your relationship? These can be hard to own up to, because once you do, you might find you have to fix things. This could be one to get professional help to sort out.
Sunday: Find one really big lie you have told yourself and never really admitted, even to yourself. Say it out loud. No-one else need ever hear this one. "I was in love with someone else when I married." But you might find that once you have said it out loud to yourself, it loses its sting.
Monday: Start all over again. By now the floodgates should be open, and your big question will be, "How do I stop telling any more new lies?" It's not as easy as it all looks at first glance.
Even I, who tells the truth to an absurd degree, have wrapped myself in lies
When I am talking about telling truth, and I am not just talking about factual truth that exists out there somewhere, but internal truth, the truth about what we think, what we feel, and who we are.
Is it possible to tell too much of your own personal truth?
We can divide the population into two groups, the people living within the box - those who believe in the "system" even if they are critical of it, and the people thinking outside the box - those who know that there is something fundamentally amiss with the system and have identified some things that truly don't add up.
Back to the question, is it possible to tell too much of your own personal truth? Of course we know that in the current culture, almost any personal truth is too much truth. The original me still had to earn a living as a writer, and I knew full well that revealing my personal truth would have meant that I would never earn another dollar - how many sane customers will use the services of some psycho who talks about reptilians? Not many I fear. To get around this I created an alter ego, with a new name and an internet network based around that name. It is through that person that I revealed my personal truth. So my assumed persona, Margaret, the alter ego of the person preaching the necessity of telling the truth, was also faced the with necessity of living a lie.
I am not the only person facing this. I hear people who live somewhere outside the box bemoaning the fact that they cannot discuss their particular morsel of the truth with their family or friends who think they are losing it. They cannot talk about the evils of vaccinations or 9/11 without those around them rolling their eyes and saying; "There s/he goes again!". So to my second question...
How much of your personal truth can you withhold before that withholding becomes a "living a lie"?
Back in my Margaret persona, I was networking with a group of people on Facebook who were all "outside the box" to a greater or lesser degree. But there are degrees of being outside the box and an awful lot of different destinations outside the box. The only thing the "outside the box" people have in common is that we are not inside the box. One thing we normally do is accept that others are inhabiting different territories outside the box, and pretty much leave one another alone. We resist ridiculing those we do not agree with because we know how it feels. But there is one territory "outside the box" where there is no such etiquette. If you understand that reptilian symbiotes walk amongst us, you are fair game for any level of ridicule, intimidation or abuse from others who consider themselves to be "outside the box".
I raise the issue because I created Margaret so that I could express the fullness of who I am, without fear or favour, and even then I found that still had to fight for my right to call it the way I see it. Is there a point at which I should shut up? Is there a point at which what I am doing is evangelizing? We all detest evangelizing, and most of us know just what to do with those nice clean cut young men in black suits when they come a'knocking. But if the only honest response I can give in a particular situation relates to reptilians, do I shut up or do I express my truth in the hope that there are some out there who need to hear it and will appreciate it? Is that evangelizing, or is everything fair game once we are "outside the box"?
Where do I go to from here?
It is many years since I stopped telling my truth publicly. After I took down the Reptilians Exposed website, and realised I had no idea how to address the power of those beings, I tried to pull out of the whole thing. I have been “out” for many years, but felt forced back due to the current genocide of the human race. Even I had no real idea how bad it was going to get - and I am now confronting this when I am too old to deal with the plethora of physical assaults on our health and well-being.
It seems to me that I have been murdered, and get to watch myself physically dying - slowly. I don’t know if I will recover from the continued degeneration of my nervous system that is now disabling me. If I don’t tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, now, then when?

Yes! You have nailed it. Telling the truth has got me into some hot water all through my life. When I was four years old I told my mum about the man upstairs who showed me pictures of naked women. My dad went crazy and beat the man up, very badly. He went to court for the assault and was bound over to keep the peace for a year. The effect of that event was to teach me that telling my parents the truth had bad consequences. I avoided telling them anything after that.
I learned to read from newspapers and realised that they were full of lies, very early on. You are so right we are steeped in lies all the time. You are also correct when you say how hard it is to break the habit of lying automatically, eg: "Hi Sue! How are you?" "Oh I am fine!" comes the reply even though you can see she is in pain and struggling to walk on a broken foot.
Thanks for tackling this knotty problem. It needed saying!
This one hit me right in a train of thoughts I’m in. Truth, telling and living it... Thanks
