In these situations, allowing a person to continue believing and acting in a way that is contrary to the actual truth of a situation is often characterized as “lying by omission.” There can be countless motivations for doing this, from greed to sympathy to personal safety. Some would argue that lies of omission are just as dishonest as overt lies.

Most people would argue that this is an imperative and that it would be almost impossible to raise healthy children without having to resort to them.

His wife never learned of it and was still ignorant of it when he sought Frankl’s advice. Dr. Frankl implored him NOT to tell her. His reason for doing so was because he believed that the man truly loved his wife and had no desire to traumatize her. Based on what he knew of the man’s wife, he was convinced that there was little to no chance of the wife receiving the news without drawing the false conclusion that he did not love her, and consequently would not be able to forgive him. So he attempted to coach the man, that telling her the truth, would be akin to lying, for it would encourage her to believe a lie—that her husband did not ever love her. The man ignored Frankl’s advice, and the result was an ugly divorce with both parties deeply emotionally traumatized. Was Frankl right?

Number 50 was, “Refuse to make choice based upon the expectations of others. Instead, act in ways consistent with your purpose.” Out of the 69 reminders, this one, if followed uncritically, could cause a great deal of trouble for a person in this world. Sometimes, not telling someone, like an authority figure, what they want or expect to hear, could be quite problematic.

Yet, in the realm of remote healing, it is possible to heal or attempt to heal someone without their knowledge, which would render moot any notion of their consent. Isn’t that dishonest? Can Creator tell us if Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are exempt from that concern, and if so, why?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divine Guidance246 views0 answers0 votesIt’s almost certainly an oversimplification, but isn’t self-confidence freedom from anxiety and doubt?
