In today's world, it often feels like we're swimming in a sea of falsehoods. At every turn, whether it's on TV, within the government, in corporate settings, or even in our educational institutions that should be shaping the future of our children, lies are being peddled as truth. It's a pervasive issue that goes beyond the grand deceptions we hear about – it includes tall tales, white lies, and subtle exaggerations that eat away at the very foundations of our society.

This culture of untruths is undeniably undermining the fabric of our society. The consequences extend far beyond the initial act of dishonesty. They erode trust, create divisions, and foster an environment where authenticity becomes a rare commodity.

The journey towards this new world begins with a commitment to being 100% authentic and true. Authenticity isn't just a word; it's a frequency. When you emit the frequency of truth, you can begin to break down the metaphorical walls that may have surrounded you, much like the walls of Jericho.

Deep within you lies the Divine. According to scripture, God is Truth. Every deviation from the truth represents a deviation from your true nature. It's akin to working against yourself, slowing your progress, adding stress and anxiety, and causing harm to your soul.

However, it's essential to recognize that these shortcuts and business tricks, while they may have provided some gains in the short term, build a foundation that is ultimately unstable. True success, it turns out, isn't built on a bedrock of falsehoods.
