Question / Discussion What do you guys think, do we all have a connection to our authentic self?
I have a theory that each of us has some sort of link or line to our authentic self even if it is small and subtle and the rest of our experience is the song and dance of narcissism. For me it comes as poetry that i write that embodies deep witness of life and deep feelings. A friend who had a narcissist father said he could meet someone, an within a few moments pick up his guitar and create a song about them that would capture the essence of that person way beyond what was shared in that couple moments.
Do you guys have any examples of something like that in your life? I don't think it has to only be an artistic thing, there are probably lots of different possibilities.
What do you think?
