The Virtue of Authencity

To live in coherence is to live as your true self. Not the self shaped by fear, expectation, or performance—but the self that emerges when nothing is hidden, when expression is free.

Distortion tells us to tone ourselves down. To speak in a certain way, dress in a certain style, carry ourselves in a posture that fits the mold. It tells us to silence our laughter, temper our movements, even hide our desires. Over time, these edits become so constant that we forget who we are without them.

But coherence asks us to return. To remember that authenticity is not selfish, it is service. Because when you live as your true self—when you allow your body to move, your voice to sound, your presence to shine—you give others permission to do the same.

Authenticity flows through every avenue of life. In movement, it means dancing as though no one is watching, letting the body remember its freedom. In sound, it means laughing without shame, singing when the heart stirs. In posture, it means allowing the body to rest when it is weary, and stand tall when it is strong. In attire, it means wearing what feels like you, not what will win approval. In love and sexuality, it means honoring your truth without distortion—allowing orientation and desire to be expressions of coherence, not performance or suppression.

Living authentically may not always feel easy. Distortion resists it, sometimes through judgment, sometimes through envy. But coherence is not about pleasing others. It is about embodying the light of who you truly are. And when you do, your presence becomes medicine. Your authenticity clears distortion simply by existing.

To be authentic is to be free. And freedom is the rhythm of coherence.
