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.

When you are in that state, there is no need to try to encapsulate it in some "method". Hold on to it & you lose it. Let go & you have it.

Authenticity is in equal parts knowing and not-knowing. Most don't get that. They think authenticity is confirming to an imaginary self.

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.
