I respect and admire the fact that this small tweet got you thinking about it, and I appreciate your comments.

So they think and try to create an image of their authentic selves and project it onto reality and so forth. They are genuine fakes.
-
Beyond the obvious paradox of being authentic while subservient to a self-image, this also cripples you from the full ability of your mind.
-
Your mind contains so much information that makes it up that you cannot ever access conciously and therefore take into account.
-
So whatever authentic self you create and attempt to follow, you miss 99% of what really constitutes your mind, & you go against it.
-
You have a mind, and a body, and those are what they are by nature and nurture. To impose on them is a losing battle.
-
What I'm suggesting is that in becoming aware of yourself and your mind you become more centered both in body and mind.
-
And therefore you become able to respond to existence in a different way. An authentic way, a spontaneous way. Without calculating.

My clarifying question is Knowing what? Not knowing what?
-
Sorry, mistyped. Meant to say non-volitional action, or Wei Wu Wei.
-
Have a look into that idea, it might give you an insight. It comes down to the difference between "knowing" and "knowing that you know".
-
Or, to put it in terms of my pinned post, responding to the present without getting stuck on feedbacks in the mind. Flowing.
-
Or, another way: When you are authentic you know it, you are it, and yet you don't know what you'll do. You don't "control" it.
