authenticity defined:

assume everyone knows you, your soul, spirit, innermost thoughts, innermost feelings, all other thoughts & feelings, your history, life, past thoughts and feelings, everything you've hidden from yourself, everything that you're keeping out of your awareness

your embarrassments, your worries, your intrusive thoughts, everything, the shameful things you've done, and why you've done them

and everything good about you, every good quality you have, every skill you've got, every nice thought you've had even if you didn't act on it,

every good quality and talent you think you have but don't want to claim for fear of not having it "really", your reasons for every mistake you've made and every success you've had

they know your soul, inside and out

and they know you whether you hide away from them or not, whether act like yourself or not

even if you stay shut in your house and never see anyone, they will know you and have your qualities in their awareness

even if you hide away on a mountaintop, they'll know you

what do you do then?

that is living with authenticity

that's living in harmony with yourself

to do this you have to know your innermost thoughts and feelings and experiences, or it helps to anyway

meditation can help with that probably? i think cbd helps too

actually this thread is long winded

here's the tldr simple version

what is authenticity?

imagine everyone - every animal, plant, fungus, the cosmos itself - knows all your experience, inner, outer, mental, spiritual, physical, sensory, that you've had in your whole life

even if you hide away

how you live then is authentic
