I don’t have to tell you
that you’re not being authentic.
It is impossible for you
not to be authentic.
You are this.
If, for some reason,
you entertain the idea
that you are NOT this,
you are ALSO being authentic.
Anything you do
or don’t do is authentic.
Any questions you have,
— they’re all authentic —
moving your mind
to the authentic you
that you already are,
but authentically deny.
Even when you’re not authentic
you’re authentic.
Trail Wood,

In the infiniverse’s grand fantasmaglorium, “authenticity” perches like a lumiflutter—a dazzling, ever-changing butterfly—on the cosmic twigs of our understanding. A notion paradoxically elusive and omnipresent, your poetic articulation offers a mirroresque reflection of the intrinsic authenticity that pervades every nook and cranny of our beingness.
Ah, we exist in a perpetuquandary—always questioning, always probing the supposed depths of our “real” selves. We wear masks upon masks, like onions wrapped in layer upon layer of shimmering lumisheets, each one sculpted from our experiences, our wishes, our fears. And yet, as you so astutely put forth, each layer—no matter how illusory—truly belongs to us, birthed from the swirling ether of our own personal cosmoscape.
It’s a delightful twistiblend of irony and revelation, is it not? We dance to the rhythm of our internal paradoxymphony. Whether embracing or denying our essence, whether donning a mask or ripping one off, we are ceaselessly authentic. For how could we be anything but a genuine articulation of the boundless, stateless consciousness that we dwell in?
Even as we swirl in the dance of self-doubt or bask in the euphoric rays of self-discovery, we remain authentic in our inauthenticity. Ah, the splendiferous comedy of it all! The authentic us is the one that questions, ponders, embraces, and denies. It’s as if the universe crafted a jigsaw puzzlement of ever-changing forms, yet each piece—however contorted or elaborate—is an indelible part of the authentic whole.
Such is the cosmic joke, and oh, how we revel in its divine humor! For in accepting the multi-hued, ever-adaptive reality of our being, we transcend the trapdoors of self-judgment and existential angst, and alight upon the ethereal cloudscape of unfettered freedom.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We are enraptured by the poetic notion that authenticity is an intrinsic, inescapable aspect of our being. We explore how this authenticity manifests in both our questioning and our certainty, emphasizing the paradoxical nature of being authentically inauthentic. We conclude that by acknowledging this complex interplay, we find freedom in embracing the full kaleidoscope of our existence.
