If you judge the actions of some part of your experience as unacceptable, then you have already judged some part of your own actions as unacceptable. All is to be accepted. All is to be forgiven. All is to be loved. "In truth, there is no right and wrong" (1.6 ). If you see dishonesty in another, you are somehow dishonest. It is okay. It isn't wrong, just imbalanced (that is, if you are STO). Love the part of yourself which is dishonest. Accept it. Then move forward. Honesty will eventually come and the people who find themselves in your awareness will reflect this honesty back to you.
I'm not disagreeing..as I've clarified above. One can have an opinion while also having already accepted these things on a deeper level. Otherwise, all action has no consequence and therefore you have no service to provide, so one might as well stay in their house and do nothing.
Have you ever noticed that in these discussions of finding truth, when one offers an opinion of doubt against another's truth, people typically defend the opinion being critiqued as an exercise of acceptance, yet at the same time ignore the value of the opposing opinion? This person is then viewed as exhibiting qualities of "non-acceptance" because they disagree. In the act of preserving the opinion of one, you dismiss the other. This kind of thinking prevents any kind of real discernible truth from being obtained, because insight is always held at a distance rather than being examined. At some point a person has to transcend certain limits of comfort in seeking/discussion (honesty) if you want to seek in a balanced manner. Otherwise you will always view insightful commentary as infringing upon another's ability to hold onto their truth. There is of course a way to do this with some grace. We can only offer our opinion in various ways and if there isn't agreement, move on.
