Without integrity you can't communicated...

Both integrity and communication use the power of your word... but if your word has no power, you are sh!t out of luck when it comes to using it.

This fact is at the root of why the Dark Side, people? make language fuzzy, make language not clear, not obvious.

If everything you ever wanted comes to you through other people... And if everything other people will do depends on your ability to make them want to do what you want them to do... Then it is obvious that if you want to rob a person, a group, a nation, humanity of its godlike power, make its language, make its use of language powerless.

And at the same time rob them of integrity, the power of their word.

How do you do that, rob you of your integrity?

By setting up the environment to encourage lying.

When you lie, because it is not punished, or not consistently, then you weaken your relationship between your word and yourself.

I discovered this back in 2000. I was in a leadership program in Landmark Education, and we were asked to drive at or below the speed limit.

I don't know if you have ever tried it: it is near impossible. It is punished by other drivers. And unless you have a car that you can set the speed you just can't. The roads, the vehicles, the world is set up to encourage speeding. The cops look the other way, unless, and so you drive ten miles above the speed limit, but when you see a cop-car you step on the break and pretend. 

And then you expect yourself to have integrity, and now you don't.

So already back in 2000 I saw that we humans are set up to have no power with our word.

This is like cancer, an opportunistic disease. It moves into every single body, but it can set root only if the body makes this easy for the cancer... habitual lying, habitual pretending, habitually having a gap for the cancer to move in.

The Original Design of humanity is for humans to be like god, create with their word. And some people can...

So what is the difference between those who can those who can't?

I have a disproportionately large segment of my readers who believe in attraction, who believe in affirmations, who believe in the power of positive thinking, who believe in Santa Claus.

They listen and they hear what I teach approximately.

They hear ONLY what matches their current worldview. The overlap is 1%, and that is the 1% they hear.

They can't hear because they cannot distinguish the 99% that doesn't match those beliefs.

So when I talk about declaring, they hear affirmation, and they keep on repeating what they should declare... and they are dismayed that the result is: not a thing.

I just measured someone's Starting Point Measurements to see if what I am saying is really so. You can study it here:
