How To Tell If You Really Want Something Or Not (Authentic vs Inauthentic Desire)

How can we tell if we truly desire something or not? Sometimes we are unsure about what it is we want. If it's really right for us.
This is the question the difference between authentic desire and inauthentic desire.
Inauthentic desire comes from survival conditioning. It arises to help us fit in, belong, avoid disappointing others and so on.
Like choosing a career to keep our parents happy.
And this is fine. Survival is great. Until it's not.
Because these kinds of desires don't fulfil us or make us feel aliiiiiive!
Authentic desire doesn't care what happens. It is simply a resonant expression of who we are. It arises because it MUST.
It's not designed to help us fit in or be comfortable.

There's a moratorium on skipping coming hahaha love the satirical humour!
And yes the universe helps you out when you open to the fear it's amazing! And looking back in my experience the universe has been helping me out all along to give me what I need to keep the fear (mostly) unconscious until I had the space to begin to let it up and put
Enjoyed the video man🙏

LOL that heaving sound! Men struggle with authenticity for a few reasons..one being because of patriarchal conditioning, you are told to not have feelings and be tough. You cover and shove your emotions. Also biologically conditioned to, "spreading your seed" to as many females as possible has expressed itself as men who will say and do anything to get laid, that living and being inauthentic makes you a man in the game of life! Even decent men lying about what they want and not understanding how to communicate that and making females think they want a long term or lifelong relationship when really they do not love that female and just want easy V access. Females understand authenticity a bit more because of our cycles force us to go inward and reflect to sort out our hormones, and being biological nurturers, we must be more intone with the softer senses to raise and protect baby and ourselves. Yes, a very important topic for men to meditate on and do self inquiry. About the moratorium bit... I think things are a little different for females. We have a biological clock that we are subject to. From menstruation, to menopause. There is a time limit and more pressure for us to procreate so naturally we have a deeper sense of urgency to find a mate and create a secure space to raise the kid. It is in our nature but we are not animals, we have the ability for higher learning and problem solving. I would say that you can add to this video to speak on getting on the path self inquiry...as the path to authenticity. Mindfulness meditations.
