I'm not surprised that such sayings as 'your own truth' give the impression that anything anyone believes is validated, but what someone believes is often exposed as nothing more than self comforting lies. Truthfulness is something everyone already knows anyway, and when beliefs confront the experience there is conflict because truth presents itself and beliefs must be forgone... and so precious are beliefs they are called 'my truth'.

i must admit some frustration and resentment with being socially forced to accept as "truth" some of the beliefs people insist i accept as "their truth". i question myself constantly. i explore every nook and cranny of my consciousness for self deception. i don't even accept my own concepts as "truth" and yet i'm expected to respect the self deceptions of other folks.

**sigh**

Does that illustrate that we need beliefs Gem ... we hold onto beliefs as truths because there is no other information available at the time ... in other words, the truth has not been revealed ... people often talk about not holding any beliefs ... do they simply believe that is so? Can we 'not' believe?

I don't think it is possible to question ourselves and explore what you call self deception. In fact I don't think there is such a thing as self deception.
I think as life unfolds we sometimes see things in a new way and this pushes the old ways aside. They are not 'our' old ways.
Just sharing.................

If we were deceiving ourselves.........we would never see it.
