Both lies are designed to keep you chasing...for love/belonging/worthiness and blaming yourself for never reaching it. Then you start the whole cycle again and again — and again:

1. The Lie of Omission: They leave out the truth: "Hi, this behavioral change method like all methods to change just the behavior ("The Symptom") like setting New Year's Resolutions and new goals will have a 95% failure rate. But that's OK, because I'll have your money by then, and since you don't know this truth, you'll just silently walk away and blame yourself for "your" failure."

"Hi, I am a peddler of "happiness, health and success," and the testimonials that you're so impressed with and got you to give me your money are just people who are 5% of the "success" that came from my method/treatment/therapy. I am using the uh so proven and popular Ding-Ding-Ding Scam on you. This scam is also used by the casino and carnival games owners; we do the LOUD ding-ding-ding sounds when someone wins (which is a tiny minority) and we keep all the losers silent (which is about 95%) of our customers." 

"Hi, I'm Jenny Craig Corp., I represent all the wellness scams out there that actually create our own target market! Hopefully, you didn't read the expose statement from our former CFO, who blew the whistle that our revenue base comes from our customers who have failed on our products. That's how we upsell them. And since 96% of people who use the symptoms chasing approach to lose weight — we always have a huge target market to prey on (oh, we mean), sell to."

"Hi, I'm a psychotherapist, I'm actually suffering more rumination and depression than you are. So I can't wait to get you out of my office/zoom/text and/or prescribe to you "non-addictive" opioids that I make a commission from. And when is that cutey pie pharma salesperson coming by to take me out to a free lunch/dinner and then the party sponsored by that rich pharma company owner!"

"Hi, I'm a therapist. Instead of staring at my degrees on the wall which at best means I know how to copy and paste 100-year-old, outdated psycho-babble, and at worst, I got those plaques off eBay. What you should be doing is asking me for references (which I'll deny under "Confidentiality") and/or you should be asking for actual studies of my own personal results from my own therapy technique, not just blindly believe some studies about "the effectiveness of talk therapy, CBT, etc. Why? Because how well you do or don't do is most dependent on one thing, Me." 

"Hi, this ____________________________ is at best just a band-aide; it will not solve your disconnection and disconnection symptoms from your neglect of regularly using your greatest gift. By buying this ____________________________, you may think you're progressing, but truthfully, you are not. Oh, all the testimonials you see? It's just the 5% of people who got better inspite our ____________________________, not because of."

"Hi, did you know, I, the therapist, have caused more drug deaths than the street corner drug dealer."

"Hi, my license for ____________________________ has nothing to do with if you'll get the results you want. Like all mechanics/lawyers/doctors/stockbrokers must be licensed, but not all of them are capable. Look deeper."

"Hi, I'm a "self-help" book writer, thank you for buying my book. I knew people like you would buy my book if wrote what you wanted to hear. I hope you don't find those studies showing many people are actually addicted to consuming the common sense information in my type of book but they rarely (like 95%) of you will never apply the information you gathered. It's like someone reading lots of karate/golf/tennis/playing piano books, but never having the power and support from others to practice these. So I won't say anything about America's massive addiction to information, but the inability to move it to application. Why do you think you've never ever gotten an email after you bought a book, went to a seminar that said, "Hi, how are you doing after you read/attended my ____________________________."  Because they already know the answer, you didn't make any real changes like 95% to 97% people don't. But that's great for us "self-help" peddlers because it's people like you who buy the most "self-help" materials. You keep thinking it's your fault, your the problem, when the truth is; we peddlers are the problem."

"Hi, I'm a mindfulness provider/trainer; besides the fact that 93% find this practice boring; so odds are you will too. But that won't stop me from shaming you when you stop doing this. Also, I hope you don't find all the many top studies and ordained Buddhist priests exposing mindfulness as fake Buhhdsism, a hi-jack of their sacredness, and actually causes bad sleep and poor mental health."

"Hi, I'm one of the many "researchers" paid by The Supreme Intelligence to bake biased studies out. For example, all the "mindfulness are wonderful studies" you see; we don't ever account for the fact; the biggest factor for positive change in these studies are the human to human interactions that we're giving these subjects; like when we get them drink/food, when we ask them how they're feeling/doing, how when we're listening to them. The Supreme Intelligence makes us take all the latter connection factors out of our "research." Are you kidding, we don't want you to remember and use your greatest gift! How can we sell you bad science and control you then!!?"

Ultimately, by them leaving out the truth, when you fail from whatever methods they've sold you; you will ultimately blame yourself. You will keep your failure silenced. That's what they want and need you to do. This perpetuates their Lie of Scarcity — you've got to keep hustling for love/belonging/worthiness.

2. The Lie of Misinformation: "Hi, this ____________________________ product/pill/treatment /etc. will make you feel love/belonging/worthiness." Truth: Kind of. Not really. It's fake love...so it won't last long. You'll be thirsty soon."

"PCP is safe for you. Tobacco doesn't cause cancer. Teflon is 100% safe. Opioids are safe and non-addictive, psychotherapy and mindfulness are both good for you with no negative side effects." Truth: It's not true.

"This ____________________________ is great because it's science-based, evidence-based." Truth: the term "science-based and evidence-based" are purple fart terms; they sound important but lack substance.

For the enlightened; these terms are red flags of a company owned by The Supreme Intelligence. Why? Ultimately, all products and services are "science-based, evidence-based", the question is what kind of science; pseudo, theoretical, strong, conclusive? Same for evidence-based; how strong is the evidence they're basing their claim on.

Would a judge be impressed if a lawyer said, "Judge, today my argument will be evidence-based!" The judge would say something like, "Uh duh, do you think its an option to make non-evidence-based arguments? Let's see how strong is your evidence? Let's see if your evidence is better/worse than the opposing counsel."

Ultimately, by their misinformation; when you fail from whatever methods they've sold you; you will ultimately blame yourself. You will keep your failure silenced. That's what they want and need you to do. This perpetuates their Lie of Scarcity — you've got to keep hustling for love/belonging/worthiness.
