This was no little white lie,
but the very biggest of lies. A lie so colossal, in fact, that it couldn’t help

Hitler and his favorite propagandist, Joseph Goebbels, with its brazen
mendacity and resulting manipulations.
From the moment I was compelled
with a painful wail to open my newborn eyes, this big lie became the cornerstone upon which my innocent new life would be constructed. Brick upon
brick, lie upon lie, whether it felt right or not, I built the walls of my
house just as I was taught … like everyone else’s.
As I grew, I was thoroughly trained
in how to fill my house with the “educated” perceptions, beliefs and behaviors
of those in authority; those who were deemed superior to me; those who knew
better than me because they were older, holier, wealthier, smarter, prettier, more
talented or more famous; and those who I was told had power over me, my
resources, my success, and my happiness.
Because the construction of my
life and its maturing refinements appeared to somewhat conform within a socially
acceptable blueprint, I believed my house to be relatively solid for close to
half a century.

shake it all up. Some would say I had a wake-up call or perhaps an “A-HA”
moment of epiphany. Personally, it felt more like a “consciousness quake”, an inner earthquake so jarring in its
subtlety that it rocked my foundation to the core and left behind an
irreparable crack before I even knew what had hit me.
And this concealed crack began
