Thread: tell me how to live an authentic life?

The goal is not to be without thoughts. The goal is to stop believing your thoughts are true. You do not need to force them out, merely get in touch with the part of yourself that is not limited by them. Notice space. Allow space. That space is you. That space receives your thoughts. It does not judge them, the thinker judges them. You don't need to fight your judgments about reality. Merely remember that they're not true, and they're not you. You are the space the receives all. You have judgments, but you are not the judgments.

And be patient. Strive for authentic moments rather than permanent solutions.

Another author I recommend is Miguel Ruiz. The Four Agreements and The Fifth Agreement are both very excellent books. I'm having trouble finding a PDF of the fifth agreement but it's the one I read most recently and it had a lot of practical information that helps one realize how to master their thoughts.
