Lies vs. Truth: How Deception Shapes Our Reality and Consciousness

By Jack McAdoo

In today’s fast-paced world, truth feels like it’s on shaky ground. From the stories we tell ourselves to the narratives crafted by society, it’s almost as if deception has become a fundamental part of how we navigate life. We’re living in an era where “truth” has become subjective—malleable even. What was once considered a sacred pursuit now bends to the will of personal agendas, political parties, and the all-encompassing media machine. But what does this shift toward lies mean for our collective experience? More importantly, how does it affect the essence of who we are as human beings? Let’s dive deep into how deception shapes our world, our consciousness, and our place within the universe.

Lies Have Become the New Truth

There was a time when honesty was a cherished value. Yet, today, it feels as if lies have taken the front seat, driving the narrative of our lives. People want to know your “body count,” whether it’s the number of romantic partners or your professional accolades. We’ve been conditioned to measure worth by numbers, by external validations that mean little when it comes to our true essence. Monogamy, loyalty, integrity—these ideals are fading into the background, replaced by the quest for instant gratification. In a world where getting off seems to be the goal, we’ve lost sight of the deeper meaning of connection, both with others and within ourselves.

But the truth is more complex than that. Lies may offer a shortcut to what we want, but they also rob us of something essential: our authenticity. We’ve built lives on layers of deception, but at what cost? When we deceive others, we also deceive ourselves, drifting further from the core of who we are.

The Power of Jesus’ Energy and the Misinterpretation of Faith

In our search for truth, many cling to the familiar structures of religion. You’d think Jesus was walking the Earth again, given how fervently people hold onto religious dogma. They go to church, shake hands, and congratulate each other for showing up. But have we misunderstood the message? The truth is, Jesus’ teachings weren’t about external validation. They were about energy, the divine essence that resides within each of us. It’s not about following rituals or judging others; it’s about tapping into the universal energy that connects us all.

God isn’t some external force that demands obedience. God is infinite energy, a cosmic essence that lives in every man, woman, and child. We’ve divided ourselves into categories—Republican, Democrat, Baptist, Catholic—when in reality, we are all manifestations of the same energy. Walking with God doesn’t mean spouting Bible verses at someone; it means nurturing your own energy, your own connection to the divine consciousness that binds us all.

The Fallacy of Control: Man-Made Religion and the Loss of Self

Let’s be real—man created religion. It’s a structure, a system designed to give people a sense of control, a way to compete with others and claim superiority. Wars have been fought over it, nations have been divided, and countless lives have been lost, all in the name of faith. But what if we’ve missed the point entirely? Religion, as we know it, wasn’t designed by God. It was constructed by man to cage the spirit, to give the illusion of control in a world that is, by nature, uncontrollable.

We live in a society that makes us believe everything is happening in our own lifetime. This narrow view limits us, makes us focus on the present moment in a way that disconnects us from the broader picture. The truth is, we are infinite beings. We are not bound by the timelines of history or the circumstances of the present. If we could just strip away the layers of conditioning, stop ridiculing those who seek a deeper connection, we’d get back to the source—our own divinity.

The power we seek isn’t in external authorities or religious structures; it’s within us. But instead of looking inward, we’ve been taught to follow, to obey, to conform. We need to break free from that and start trusting the divine energy within.

Nourishing the Body and Spirit: Aligning with Our True Nature

So how do we heal from the deception we’ve built around us? It starts with aligning the mind, body, and spirit. Call it yoga, call it meditation, call it prayer—whatever you name it, the process is the same. It’s about finding the divine within yourself and nurturing it. You see, the body is just a vessel, a temporary home for your infinite spirit. When we exit this world, we don’t take the body with us, but we do take our energy. And that energy is eternal.

When Jesus spoke of his spirit, he wasn’t just referring to the ethereal; he was talking about the very energy that connects all things. That same energy exists in each of us, left behind for others to feel and experience. We’re all made of the same stuff, the same cosmic energy that makes up the universe. Once we understand that, we can begin to live more fully, more freely.

Stop worrying about what others think. Stop judging people for their life choices, and most importantly, stop judging yourself. You’re not just a body, you’re not just a mind—you’re an infinite being, capable of more than you’ve ever imagined.

The Illusion of Judgment: Letting Go of Ego

One of the greatest deceptions we’ve fallen for is the idea that we have the right to judge others. Whether it’s in a court of law or a casual conversation, we’ve been conditioned to pass judgment, to compare, to criticize. But here’s the thing—judgment is an illusion. Even the judges in courtrooms aren’t truly judging you; they’re interpreting laws made by man. And yet, we go through life as if we are the ultimate authority, the moral compass by which all should be measured.

But what if we let go of that need? What if we stopped worrying about what others are doing and focused on our own path? The truth is, when we align with our own energy, when we walk our own path, everything falls into place. You attract the right people, the right opportunities, and the right experiences because you’re vibrating at your own frequency. There’s no need to fight, no need to judge, because everything you need is already within you.

The Eternal Nature of Energy

One of the most profound truths we can embrace is that nothing in the universe is ever lost. Energy cannot be destroyed; it can only be transformed. When we die, our energy doesn’t disappear—it continues, reshaped, repurposed, but always present. We are infinite beings, spiritual entities having a human experience.

So why do we spend so much time worrying about the material, the temporary? The spark of consciousness that makes you “you” is eternal. You are part of the same consciousness that created the universe, the same energy that flows through all living things. The sooner we realize that, the sooner we can start living fully, without fear, without attachment to the transient.

Living in the Moment, but Not Ignoring the Future

Here’s the kicker, though—we’re human. And while living in the moment is crucial, we can’t ignore the future. Everything around you, from the phone you’re reading this on to the car you drive, was once a thought in someone’s mind. It was a vision of the future brought into the present. So while we should strive to be mindful, to live fully in the now, we also need to honor the fact that we are creators. We shape the future through our thoughts, our actions, and our energy.

The point isn’t to ignore what’s coming, but to live with an awareness of both the now and the future. To be mindful of your energy in every moment, but also to dream, to create, to manifest the life you want to live.

Conclusion: Reclaiming Your Power in a World of Lies

In a world where deception is rampant, reclaiming your truth is an act of rebellion. It’s about peeling back the layers of lies, both external and internal, and getting to the core of who you are. You are not your body, you are not your mind—you are an infinite being of energy, capable of profound transformation.

So stop worrying about others. Stop trying to fit into a world built on deception. Instead, turn inward. Nurture your energy, align your mind, body, and spirit, and watch as the universe aligns in your favor.

Because in the end, the only truth that matters is the one that resides within you.
