What does it mean to be truly honest? (Communicating towards The Answer-10)

Once the transformational journey had begun we asked an important question: What is it to be honest?, What is true honesty? In A Course in Miracles we hear and learn about the meaning of honesty as consistency. What does this mean and how can we teach it, is what we investigate in this class. Is it to share an interpretation of the ego as an opposite to lies, or the feelings and perceptions that arise from the split mind, however staying in a reality of dream images on the time line that give evidence of their changing nature? Or is it simply the clarity in our mind to no longer deceive ourselves, to understand that no thought, action or expression contradicts ones own thinking, nor opposes any of our thoughts?! Another issue around honesty may come up when we are seemingly "out in the world", particularly when meeting seeming strangers. The ego's expression of fear might be to avoid exposure and suggest to be nice, pleasant, contain certain feelings, not show intense feelings, but be rather agreeable with everyone and be o.k. with idol thoughts or idol talk, simply for the sake of getting along and being liked. What does it mean to be honest with ourselves? Will such issues that are obviously bypassed not continue to resurface until they are authentically offered to the Holy Spirit and be undone? Can we understand our honest willingness to value the thoughts that have consistency in true and everlasting value as true honesty? Some lessons in the Workbook as well as the teaching of this second characteristic of a teacher of God in the Manual for Teachers offer us this new perspectives. It states that honesty does not apply only to what one says, and that the truly honest are at no level in conflict with themselves, and that the Peace of mind that such advanced teachers of God experience is largely due to their honesty. In the willingness to expose the ego's dishonesty and invite a change of mind we will recognize an inner alignment with honesty in its true meaning. ◊Jesus teaches us in A Course in Miracles that we can change our mind in regard to this limited thinking, and offers us a new basis of relating with Him inside our Heart and Soul.
