How To Act When Unsure of What’s Most Authentic?

[kieranperez]

So I’m really starting to notice this dilemma where the more I become mindful in the midst of my intro consciousness work, the more I don’t know what the hell is authentic to me because I can really see how I don’t know who I am (metaphysically speaking of course). This has been conflicting with my moralistic paradigm which I’m still working on where I’ll still moralize to act a certain way but I have enough awareness where i realize ‘holy shit, I know what’s going on here but if this is what I’m trying to rid myself of, how do I act in the meantime? I don’t know what’s authentic to me anymore..’ I’ve also struggled not knowing what my desires are anymore.. I'm really working on sitting with this confusion but at the same time, are there any perspectives that could help in terms of maybe contemplating these matters or something? If I don't know what's authentic, I feel so conflicted and confused on how and what I want to be about.

I think this might be an issue some people resonate with in the midst of consciousness work.

You should try to dig into intuition, this is the place that is unfilitered by your mind and thoughts, this is where your authenticity comes from.
Although it is not like you can just switch to using your intuition, it is a long and abstract process to develop this intuition. I am personally still not able to really logically grasp what the intuition is and what is merely a thought, it is more like a feeling of what's the right thing.

I recommend you check this thread out, because I have adressed this topic in a segment. You Will have to put in a few hours to read the information that I linked to, but it's totally worth it.

@kieranperez being authentic is being honest, wherever you are at in coming to know what you are. If struggling with honesty, talk slower, listen longer, acknowledge the ignorance. That ignorance is not shameful, or embarrassing, is a cultural paradigm. It is not true.

Leo has a video or two on the higher self and the characteristics of it. You could check those out, make some notes and then see how to act more accurately.

@AleksM do you mind if I chat with you over PM? Would love to pick your brain.

 Authenticity is proportional to the degree you let go of control over yourself. Ta-da!
