"Disappearing into authenticity." - Marco M.

Disappearing into authenticity

The individual who forgets his inner self, and pursues rationality, is distinguished by his inauthenticity. The thought action is always inauthentic. Any movement (but it also applies to the intellect) that one learns and "thinks", is inauthentic, that is, fragmented and inelegant, as if it were always out of context. In-authenticity is one of the most devastating diseases of the age of appearance. The attempt to be the center of attention, the need to be seen, pushes people to create mental strategies to achieve these goals, forgetting that the action thought is always inauthentic, i.e. ugly, coarse and out of context.

For this reason we are surrounded by ugliness, an aesthetic drift that is not even noticed, as the righteousness is centered on the achievement of a result (utilitarianism) and not on the beauty and elegance of the path.

The in-authentic, when he approaches the disciplines that his fragmented mind catalogs as "spiritual", ends up confusing slowness with awareness, resulting rather ridiculous: he walks "slowly" out of context, forcing himself to eat in a certain way or to speak in another.

Being authentic is not the result of a thought, but a rooting and harmonization between inner and outer action. It is not the result of a "doing" but of a rediscovered communion, of "being at home". It is not mimicking an awareness, but it is being part of it, not of an appearance, but of a disappearance.
