The World Needs Your Authenticity Now!

“In the global society we live in today, we are interdependent — we all depend on each other. Therefore, it is no longer appropriate to divide the world into ‘us’ and ‘them.’ We need to think of everyone belonging to one humanity.”

— His Holiness the Dalai Lama

In today’s world, it can feel like everywhere we look we find disharmony and uneasiness. We may disapprove of the friction, words, attitude, and divisiveness of what people say, which can feel disheartening. The good news is that the problem is not people. Rather, it’s the limited perceptions people have learned to identify with over time.

You see, we’ve learned to identify only with parts (and, thus, with their limited views and understanding). When we integrate the limited and limiting perceptions of our family, religion, education, culture, gender, and so on, they become the basis for our “primary operating system.” We adopt them as truths, and through energy resonance, they become “truth”—in this way, our reality is distorted, and we begin to resonate with inauthentic realities.

Although you might think you’re living an authentic reality, 99.99% of us don’t. We live within the limitations of our programming. What we see as truth depends on whether or not it matches our learned perceptions—forged from beliefs unnatural to us and not authentically our own.

We’re missing who we authentically are—borderless, undivided, whole energy beings. That’s right. We are energy. Our thoughts are energy! Our thoughts originate in small sparks of electricity between 86 billion neurons inside our brain. Plus, our bodies are built of billions upon billions of atoms, each of them 99.9999999% energy. Our inner and our outer worlds (really one and the same) are built of the same energy.

And we are all interconnected, not separated as our limited perceptions make us believe. As energy beings, we constantly create our shared reality. We are fed input from the world, we feed out what we internalize into the world, and we create the world we are collectively experiencing together—all through energy resonance. It is not by chance that, in a time when division (lack of connection) has been adopted as truth by so many of us, our world is filled with chaos and suffering. As everything is energy and interconnected, the world’s problems are interconnected as well and have a common origin — our inauthenticity.

But why?

Because we mostly live on autopilot, we tend to repeat patterns learned from our surroundings (without even being aware we’re doing it). We snap. We lash out. We react. Because of a lack of awareness in our limited perceptions, we live out unresolved generational trauma. Due to the poor condition of our emotional and relational structures, we attract unwanted resonance—favoring disconnect, imbalance, and separation. And sadly, the vast majority of us are caught up in all this. We’re being misled by our oblivious inauthenticity. Individually, this limiting resonance shows up as illness, relationship issues, and lack of abundance and opportunities. Collectively, it shows up as riots and discord, injustice and separation, economic crisis, and even pandemic.

Unfortunately, today’s leadership keeps leading from these old-school, limiting perceptions and disruptive frequencies. Rather than chiming a call for unification and harmony, our leaders keep promoting division and partisanship. It is no longer acceptable to evade the world’s collectively created imbalance and chaos through the game of us versus them. No longer can we blame the division and suffering we see externally on the government, the terrorists, corporations, or whoever else we are blaming. We must see that we each play our part.

The good news here is that we also each already have (and already are) all we need to transcend this limited resonance hidden underneath the veil of inauthentic beliefs. We, on our own are our natural, authentic wholeness. And as today’s new leaders—parents, community leaders, role models, and influencers—we must choose and learn to resonate with that wholeness. Otherwise, we, too, will continue to contribute to the overall general sense of helplessness, worthlessness, and despair.

How?

We can do our individual work. We can become conscious of the inadequate patterns running us so that, instead of reacting, we respond from our unbiased, neutral, authentic nature. We can acknowledge what is hiding within us in order to prevent the chaotic resonance the world is living today. We can throw off the limitations we’ve accepted as reality in favor of our authenticity.

Authenticity is all about realigning with our natural balance and harmony. We all have our natural vibratory rate. Using holistic tools, we can transcend the disruptive frequencies from our surroundings, realigning our energy with our authentic wholeness. By doing so we actively move toward peace and harmony within our hearts and minds and, in turn, toward nothing less than improving the quality of life for all.

These are times to take personal responsibility for our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions—to overcome our inauthenticity. These are times to adopt a personal development plan, working toward transcending our inner barriers and experiencing close kinship, a deep and seamless feeling of connection, with the entirety of humanity— past, present, and to come.

When we are authentic and free of perceptions, we seek what is best for all—not only for one group of people. As Desmond Tutu once said, “Ultimately, our greatest joy is when we seek to do good for others.”

With the help of holistic tools, we can transcend our limited perceptions. This is one way we can move forward. And in doing so, we can feel ourselves growing—in self-knowledge, compassion, tolerance, truth, generosity, and kindness. According to Gandhi, “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” You can choose to live from a state of authenticity, no matter what’s going on around you.

To overcome the shadows of limited perceptions, leaders, parents, influencers, and role models must become aware and change their perceptions from inauthentic to authentic ones. Remember, our lives will be changed. And, more importantly, the lives of all those we influence in this generation and generations to come will be transformed.

The question for each of us at this moment is, Am I going to help create a better future, or will I wait for others to lead from the same old limited perceptions, by which time it might be too late?

Do you want to be part of the world’s change, or will you continue passively to simply be part of the problem? Don’t turn a blind eye to your healing. The world needs your authenticity now.
