Notes on authenticity

Words may be seen as much magical as a form of art – as mode of expression of the mind (or thoughts). Whatever the potential of consciousness – in terms of handling the length and breadth of thought (or the space-time dimension) can be mapped or expressed or shared through words.

The requirement of authentic thinking – is to have a first hand experience of action not bounded in any known framework. Which means, we will fall down, we will fear, we will get up, we will learn and we will improve along the way. This experience needs to be ‘felt’ in our minds – recorded and interpreted to reveal some principles of existence. This will make our words more authentic to us. We will say things ‘from the bottom of the heart’. Should we say things only after discovery? Or only to confirm or rebel or justify or prove? The question is: what is the intent that creates the words? Can words be said only for sharing? Sharing what? Sharing…that’s it! Feel the word called ‘sharing’…Feel it. Those dimensions of feelings, if generated, can give one a peaceful feeling – through words too.

Hence, one may feel like sharing through everything.

There are a few things that need acknowledgement here – as we grow or as a kind of conscious effort:

We do things for ourselves – we are answerable for us

Silence is important

To cling on to a set of actions is ok.

Do it for yourself

Values are important to be pursued

What we think, we can say. We are sure of that intent. The world may keep judging the intent.

One doesn’t work for expressing the intent explicitly. Anything that is explicit, has an element of ego and ownership, and therefore is limited in scope.

The best subtle beauties in the world have always been implicit and silent.

If I believe in silence, I must embrace it.
