We lie to ourselves and others because of having subconsciousness.
Within everyone's subconscious there is a part that is light and a part that is dark.
We lie when we use our intellect to make the dark part of the subconscious acceptable.
For example, we steal something and when we are caught we are asked why. So as to not get into more trouble we use our mind to quickly think of a reason that is not true but is acceptable, and hides the real reason why we did it, which is not acceptable.
We lie to ourselves when we notice that we act out of the dark part of the subconscious and we start to believe the excuses and reasons that we invent.
The interesting thing is that the "I" is naturally a lier to ourselves. It's existence is based on reasons, justifications and excuses made by the intellect.
These excuses and reasons are always present in our intellect, they come forth naturally. Difficult to stop, but our work here is to not believe them. Then we won't ever lie to ourselves. To lie to ourselves is the worst thing. It is what really expires our hope to change.
Any "I" is a lie and the work on it, is dismantling all these lies. We start by not believing its reasoning and excuses. We can use the same intellect that generated these excuses to dismantle them.
