Aired Wednesday, 7 November 2018, 8:00 PM ETDr. Dana Marrocco – The Top Ten Lies We Tell OurselvesThe 1977 album, “The Grand Illusion” by Styx, featured a song written by Tommy Shaw called “Fooling Yourself.” The lyric, in part, said:“You see the world through your cynical eyes You’re a troubled young man I can tell You’ve got it all in the palm of your hand But your hand’s wet with sweat and your head needs a rest And you’re fooling yourself if you don’t believe it You’re kidding yourself if you don’t believe it Why must you be such an angry young man When your future looks quite bright to me How can there be such a sinister plan That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man”The lyric could have said young woman as well…and the album’s title, “The Grand Illusion” touches upon the lies that we tell ourselves, generated by ego, that keep us in the illusion of separation from one another and from source. How may we see beyond the illusion, the ego based lies, and return to the truth of oneness and love.M
