God said:
In Reality, there is no inside and outside. In Reality, there is Oneness.
In terms of the relative world, inside and outside certainly seem to exist, and, therefore, there is pretending. You may feel one way, and act another. Someone may seem like a friend, yet not be a friend. Duplicity can arise in a world where Truth and fiction seem to co-exist, and, so, life becomes suspect. Danger could be waiting for you around the next corner. Life seems slippery, and you can’t get around it.
Life may often seem to be a magic trick. There is trickery. When you see the unlovely in the world, when you are struck with it, you have seen a magic trick and you thought it was real. You have been fooled. Whatever individual perpetrated the trick, he has been fooled too. He may have taken advantage of you. In the process, he has taken advantage of himself as well.
Whenever a group may have dealt cards from under the deck, the group may make you assume a role that does not reflect the best in you, and the group has cheated itself as a well. The group could be a family, a corporation, a nation.
