      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.

      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.

      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.

          I am familiar with wu-wei. Familiar != knowing. My fave explanation is http://www.friesian.com/images/zen-5.gif … from this article http://www.friesian.com/divebomb.htm

          This misses the point a bit as it is closer to the western concept of the four stages of competence.

          I disagree. I think this 3 stage learning model is more Asian. See shu ha ri from aikido which is very similar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuhari

          but you might be right that this may be digressing from the wu-wei concept. Familiar != knowing after all

          I practice Tai Chi Chuan so my understanding of it comes more from its own Taoist roots, where it is as central as the "Tao" itself.

          If you're interested in it however I recommend going through this book. One of the best attempts to elucidate it.https://twitter.com/mistermircea/status/885513546737561600 …
