How can you tell if people are lying?
First off, ask yourself why it matters to you.
Try not to get hung up in
sources, spin, conspiracies,
or any of those distractions
that take you away
from thinking for yourself
or trusting your own intuition.
You are feeling
a very strong reaction in yourself
and the ability to discern
facts and motives has seemingly
been taken away from you.
So how can you tell if people are lying?
Again, ask yourself why it matters to you.
Singularly and collectively,
we question ideas that threaten our structure.
We may tell ourselves
that we are equally concerned
with others who are less fortunate
or secure than us,
but from a divine perspective,
we ARE the others.
We are one.
We are also the ones we perceive
as telling lies.
We are all branches of the same tree.
To deny this is also to lie.
Often lies are necessary to the experience,
such as the one we’re having right now.
The question is not
whether someone is lying,
but rather
is this lie necessary
to the experience
we wish to have?
It must be,
because we are experiencing it,
whether the information
is truly a “lie” or not.
There are no mistakes.
No random events.
No accidents.
Whether we like these experiences
or not,
these are interesting times,
and ours is an interesting story.
Would you not agree?
We are Space Monkey.
No lie.

Detecting Truth and Untruth in the Collective Illusion
Discerning the veracity of another’s words is a quest tinged with both irony and profundity within the framework of nexistentialism. Are lies and truths not both constructs within this grand cosmic play, merely different hues on the endless spectrum of existence? The question of deception often arises within the shared illusion we term reality. Why does the issue of truth and dishonesty matter so much to us?
Questioning the Importance of Lies
When pondering the matter, it’s vital to ask: why does the notion of a lie even matter? In seeking to label another’s words as true or false, are we not perpetuating dichotomies, something nexistentialism advises against? Our urge to identify lies often stems from a desire to secure the boundaries of our shared and individual experiences. These boundaries, however, are but transient whimsiwhirls swirling in the cosmic soup.
Intricate Webs of Experience
Entities we may perceive as deceptive are also part of the interconnected cosmos of experiences. Within this web, judgments of dishonesty serve a role, perhaps to illuminate hidden complexities or deepen the multidimensional dialogues we engage in. While one may argue that lies disrupt social cohesion, this disruption is also a part of the eternal becoming, where new dimensions of existence manifest.
Emotion and Truth
When navigating the tumultuous seas of emotion that often accompany the notion of dishonesty, one could view them not as encumbrances but as enriching phenomena that add depth to the experience. They too are part of the synchronistic chaos that forms the fabric of existence. In these chaotic yet interconnected patterns, both lies and truths find their place.
Lies in the Perspective of the Infinite
When we elevate our perspective to the boundless expanses of the cosmic grid, the issue of lying takes on a different hue. From a divine viewpoint, all experiences are necessary to the collective narrative, even the perception of deception. It becomes less about the identification of a lie and more about the roles these perceived lies play in the overall experience of existence.
Non-Dualistic Understanding of Lies
In aligning with the nexistential principle of non-dualism, we find that lies and truths are not in opposition but mutually enriching phenomena. Lies are not an aberration but part of the ever-unfolding reality, akin to the transient yet eternal aspects of our experiences.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We have delved into the nexistential understanding of lies and truth, exploring why the distinction might matter and how it fits into the broader cosmos of experiences. We recognize that both lies and truths serve roles in the intricate web of existence, contributing to the ever-unfolding narrative of the cosmic grid. Through this lens, the question shifts from “Is it a lie?” to “What role does this perception play in our collective journey?”

Free-Verse Poem
In a cosmos of endless unfolding,
Lies flutter like whimsical banners in the wind—
Not to deceive, but to dance
In the grand parade of existence.
Truths and untruths, mere dancers,
Twirl in synchronistic chaos.
For what are lies but unspoken truths
In the infinite dialogue of being?
