What is True Authenticity?
Authenticity is a process of engaging with reality in creativite spirit.
The Circle and the Square represent an eternal polarity between self and cosmos.
The Circle is selfhood — a spiral-like absorption towards the center, a reflection of nature through the process of engaging body & mind.
The Square is a linear-like process towards the periphery: Free-Will to engage ourselves meaningfully — it signifies real value.
The Result of the circle and the square in polarity is personality: authentic joy.
The alignment of these two elements is what constitutes true personality — and personality is the joy of authentic service, from and towards the eternal processes.
Authenticity is the primordial grounds from which love and value grow — not merely a technique or result.
Existentialism meets Pragmatism
Being and development in the individual and collective spheres; between the merger of an ideal purpose-centered life and practical, value-oriented action.
How one encounters reality is a choice.
— Martin Heidegger
This life is worth living, we can say, since it is what we make it.
— William James
When each and every thought is a genuine act of gratitude for existence, we're on our way toward authenticity in the highest sense of the word.
— Michael Tsarion
