What is dishonesty?

Honesty, as a matter of fact, has no relevence in the past or future. 

What is dishonesty actually? Normally if I understand something in one way and talk about it in another way, I would be called dishonest. But that is actually misrepresentation. I am fully aware of this gap and a acting with a particular objective in mind. 

Dishonesty is the gap between the "real" and the "understood". The only thing real to us are our thoughts and feelings. When our perception of ourselves becomes a distorted view of what actually passes through our minds, dishonesty happens. The distortions are driven by what we would like ourselves to be, which blanks out thoughts and emotions that do not match this image. Someone once said: "There are usually two reasons for doing something - the real one, and the one which sounds good." 

The first and only thing to be honest about is ourselves, our thoughts and feelings arising continuously in our conciousness, and the conclusions that we draw about our nature on that basis. This can happen only in the present moment. Let us be intensely aware of all that is happeneing inside us at the present moment. Let us be honest with ourselves and act based on that honesty. The action that follows will be spontaneous and without effort and will leave little residue. 

Only in the concious Now can Honesty happen. The rest is Misrepresentation.
