What Is the Psychology of Lying?

Since the psychology of lying takes place at a level that the brain cannot perceive... that is, we cannot "see" what it is that causes the lying, then how can I explain what we cannot see?

Well, we create what the brain can deal with, which are abstract words that "stand for" what the brain cannot perceive.

Let us begin with the basic concept that the physical brain is not the same as the MIND. In point of fact, the MIND is a subtle vibrational energy that exists simultaneously with the physical body and both within the same space. Current psychology has, for about a century now, practiced an active denial of both the MIND and Spiriutal realms within the human being. As a consequence much of what you are about to be exposed to will seem quite unfamiliar... and this is just the way it is.

One role of the MIND is to prevent one from discovering itself... and it does a very good job, does it not? About 95% of those in mental health today have no idea what the MIND is, so it does effectively keep itself hidden.

Lying is just one way ones MIND helps keep itself hidden. Rather than take a chance that ones attention will be pulled within, to attend to some stimulated emotion within ones MIND, the MIND with its own self-deception as its prime objective, quickly feeds thoughts to the brain focusing it outside of oneself upon people, places and things as "responsible" for what one is experiencing. This naturally occurring practice of the MIND is a basic way in which it lies to us.

In the case of a repressed fear within ones MIND realm, when it is stimulated [by any number of reasons] one becomes anxious and begins to experience some sense of fear, but before one can "own" this "fear" as ones own, ones MIND quickly feeds Delusional Thoughts to ones brain that directs it to some person, place, or thing outside oneself as being "RESPONSIBLE" for causing what one is experiencing.

This dissociation of responsibility is the essential factor in a person lying. To the MIND [which does not deal in guilt...this is a function of conscience, which is a part of ones Apapsyche (Operational Energy of ones Soul)] a lie is simply a matter of dissociation, period. The MIND is a machine that does its duties without bothering with morality. This point helps us better realize how some personality types can routinely lie, and have no remose about doing so at all. All the MIND of each has to do is keep the attention of the person away from his/her conscience. A key to such people is that there must be a rather intense fear of self within their MINDs.

Routine or habitual lying is the result of ones MIND initially keeping one from becoming aware of the fear within oneself, and this "protection" then becomes habituated and a general means of dissociation from personal responsibility. The greater the repressed fear, the greater need one has to lie or distort the truth, and to dissociate oneself from having any personal responsibility.

The primary fear that drives such need to dissociate is a fear of being "wrong". This fear is not, as the reader might imagine, a fear of doing something wrong, but it is a fear that who and what one is, is wrong. That the source of all wrong in the world is due to who and what one is, in other words. To consider this from an adult perspective, this would seem silly. But, from the perspective of an infant, who is experiencing his/her mother's intense fear of giving birth... and his/'her MIND is telling him/her that he/she is RESPONSIBLE for this fear... one begins to imagine the intensity of the fear of oneself being 'WRONG" that is hidden within this person's MIND.

The MINDs of such people develop a personality type that causes the person to focus intensely outside of him/herself on those needing help, so the person can be seen as doing "good"... which is a way to behaviorally mask the fear of being "WRONG". Such people intensely fear anything that would cause them to reach within themselves to touch the emotionality of their MINDs. Such people fear taking personal responsibility for their own actions, and thus habitually blame people, places, and things as being responsible.

In order to prevent the exposure of this fear, the MIND views lying as of no significance at all. This then is the underlying motivational factor behind those personality types that habitually lie, or fear taking personal responsibility for anything. One can view such personalities in politics, and one party in particular  tends to draw these personality-types.  Which party prides itself in "taking care of " people who refuse to assume responsibility for themselves?
