In a world of seductive scams, our sanity depends upon our ability to recognize lies. To enhance this ability, we must learn new ways of perceiving the world and strive for higher standards of honesty than are currently popular.
You should not believe anything that is in this instructable. If you are a searching person, you will eventually see that the patterns contained in the following steps can be verified. If you take the time and effort to investigate, you can see for yourself if these explanations and examples fit the real world.
Mere belief will not do. To verify the truth of anything that is said or written, you must see it and understand it before you can use it. You must live it before you can learn it.
To make it perfectly clear, this instructable is not about detecting liars only when you are face to face with them. If you want to learn about face-reading and micro-expressions (the brief expressions on a persons face that reveal their true reaction), there is an excellent book on this called: Unmasking the Face. It is available at amazon.com.
If you are interested in learning to spot a liar with body language, a good online source is here.
Many lies are to be found on the radio, in the news, or in written form, where you cannot see the person in question. This instructable is about the psychology of lies and the methods, techniques and arguments that liars often use. When you begin to see and remember these often repeated patterns, you can begin to learn how to spot a liar that is not in front of you.
Right now, most of humanity is under the domination of tyrants. In China, Russia, Cuba, Africa, and other parts of the world, tangible tyrants continue to rule. In all of the other countries, tyrants without a face, unseen forces, work behind the scenes to manipulate, indoctrinate, and obfuscate. It is the proliferation of lies and the willingness of people to accept lies, that makes this possible.

Signing UpStep 1: What Is A Lie?
A lie is designed to create a separation between Reality and what we think or feel. Occasionally, a lie is so obvious that anyone can easily see through the sham. But more often than not, a lie is so subtle or diabolically clever that uncovering it requires an uncommon detachment. This objective point of view becomes impossible if there is any greed on the part of the looker. Those who desire what is being offered (money, acceptance, beauty, flattery) more than they want the truth will easily fall victim to a lie.
We rarely see a situation for what it is. Instead, what we mainly see is our reaction to the situation. We see the associations that are triggered by the situation. A person who is cold looks at a tree and sees a source of firewood. Someone who is hot looks at the same tree and sees cooling shade. Our view of the world is limited, obscured, and distorted by our thoughts and emotions. This is important. What we think and feel sometimes does not clarify our view--but blocks it.
To see and know what is a lie and what is not, you must first see clearly your own willingness to accept certain kinds of lies.

You can't spot a liar by assuming the unverifiable is untrue. You could spot a liar by having a verification return false (this isn't in the Instructable)
Statement 2 is a bit poor.
A lie is designed to present as true something which is not. And there are plenty of designs and reasons behind them. "Separation between Reality and what we think" is just an elaborate way of putting it, it follows that if accepted truths are not reality, a person't thinking becomes separated from it.
And for number 3 - some people go with what they feel, because the unemotional view can be dull to miserable.

If you value two lies and a "sometimes" highly, then I agree with you, your certainly controversial. However, you have a right to your opinion and I respect that.

This reads more like an essay on lies and related areas. I didn't learn how to spot a liar.

In this instructable he plugs the book he wrote (available to buy on his website). on his "Make Yourself More Peaceful. How to Eliminate Anger" instructable he shamelessly plugs another book he has for sale and on the "Make Conductive Glue and Glue a Circuit" instructable he is also offering stuff for sale via his website.
I'm not skeptical about his motives though I am a trusting sort of guy. I am absolutely convinced that he is more concerned for our moral guidance and that his own commercial interests are purely coincidental.
Anyhoo, I'm sold I am off to his site to buy all his excellent products.
PS Did you spot where I was lying? Did what I say make you angry?
Would you like to buy a book to help get you through it?
