Deception.  It is a tool used by those in fear.  Some will do what they feel is necessary to ensure they are heard, obeyed, followed.  This is a very human tactic.  Do you know the most powerful tactic of all?  Radiate love.  Give no power to false power.  Where there is darkness, let there be light.  Hold those who feel they must use deception as a weapon with the greatest of compassion, for they know not how loved they are.  Where there is fear, there is a lack of awareness.  Be a light in the darkness for those who are lost and fear not.  You are so very loved.
