The mind-ego lies, and that is its nature.
It is governed by desire and fear. Its satisfaction is short lived. It finds (and creates) “problems” and solves them incessantly.
It believes that it can find security and stability in the manifest. (Lie)
It says once I do this, my work will be done. (Lie)
It says it knows how pain can be avoided. (Lie)
It says I am this, I am that. (Lies)
It believes it can avoid pain in the unmanifest. (Lie)
It says once I achieve this or that, I will be truly and lastingly happy and satisfied. (Lie)
It preaches to others how to live righteously and violates its own rules.
