Tilmann Lhundrup teaches on overcoming self-deception on the path to transformation, for Mindworks new course series called the Journey to Liberation. Check out Mindworks courses at https://mindworks.org/.
Teaching excerpt: In this video, Lama Lhundrup explains that the extent of our self-deception is actually enormous and derives from our self-importance. This creates a lot of suffering for ourselves and others. What is the fundamental self-deception? It is believing that the world is as I see it is the most relevant and real. This ignores the fact that we filter everything we experience on our likes and dislikes, on what we believe.
It is indeed difficult to step out of self-deception, and this forms the crux of the path of transformation. We have to be willing to suspend our beliefs, many of which are deeply embedded in our emotions. The capacity to live without fixations is the incredible art of awakening to what is.
Renunciation is the practice of letting go, not just for outer attachments, but on an inner level of letting go of fixation, of my view of reality. Stepping out of self-deception is to relax that need to always have an opinion.

Lichthaftigkeit. In seiner Mitte ist eine gedachte Mondscheibe, die für erwachte Aktivität und den Geist des Erwachens steht. Die leuchtenden Übergänge und das leere Innere weisen hin auf die ungreifbare Natur aller Erfahrungen, ihren dynamischen Aspekt, die Freude des Erwachens und die leuchtende Weite des alles erhellenden Geistes.
