A few things to clear my point of view and perhaps explain it better: 1. To know thyself is to be thyself.
-
The problem arises because you are still attempting to relate something to a phenomenal center, or a self. The question is valid though.
-
"How am I supposed to be authentic if there is no such thing as a permanent self?" "What do I refer to so that I *know* I'm authentic?"
-
Authenticity is there when there is nothing standing in the way. Conceptual thought is what stands in the way for the most part.
-
The self you imagine yourself to be has nothing to do with who you are. This is very hard to realize and accept. But a step toward freedom.
-
The more you break off from the conditioned pattern of projecting a self, the more present you are, the more you act in accord with life.
-
In that act, that spontaneous letting-go of the mind, as it were, you begin to know yourself, by being it. You experience a different state.
-
Authenticity is not either thinking of yourself, or not think of yourself. It is your natural state of being when "you" don't interfere.
