An Essay on the Discernment of Disingenuous

Through many books and many years of studying human nature, I have always read about how we all wear masks, and the real “us” is when we are alone in bed. I then went on to believe this as fact, and figured that emotions were built around foundational truth, and that anytime I spoke to someone, I was in a way being disingenuous.

I want to abolish this idea for good, so let’s begin.

Why I Disagree

As we all know, being genuine naturally sells. This is fact, due to the human relatability of a producer compared to a consumer, and the social hierarchy of leading to following. Genuine is harmony, and harmony is an inherent law in our spirit, and naturally guides us to value truth over fiction. I will use Billy Graham as an example for this argument.

Imagine Billy Graham in all his holy charisma. Speaking to stadiums, taking pictures with people, shaking hands with fans, and preaching about Jesus. Then, he gets back to his hotel, his adrenaline dumps, and he starts to feel lonely. Billy begins to feel a sort of depression and dump from the stadium to himself.

Is this Billy his “true self?”

I do not think so, rather, I think that instead of your true self being when you are alone, I think that your true self becomes amplified depending on the certain setting. Billy Graham was obviously being genuine, he believed what he spoke about, and built his foundational philosophy around truth and God.

As God is to truth, so is energy to genuineness.

When you center your message or brand around genuineness, it is impossible to become ingenuine. Just as God does not produce evil, as everything he makes is good, rather it is distorted by humanity and becomes evil. You cannot have genuineness without truth, and you cannot have both without God. \

So, if these instances are amplified depending on situation and setting, then a mask is in fact not worn. Rather, your genuine self is being guided by the holy spirit to become energized for the masses. It is a divinely natural blend of human and spirit, that creates a powerful genuine message, which then can transform the internal of the external.

Conclusion

The reason I bring this up is because dwelling and imposter syndrome will depersonalize a person. It will make them question every act ever done, it will destroy faith, it will destroy identity and ultimately destroy the foundation and work that you have done. All driven people question their potential being wasted, all driven people think about how to progress in this fashion or that fashion, all driven people dwell on lost time. However, when you shift the thought from “mask-wearing” to “energetic amplification,” one cannot lose their identity.

Since they see it in the light of being genuine, and not the light of wearing a mask, and being an imposter, now one can transform others.

It is so easy to depersonalize, lose identity in one’s virtues, and judge every feeling as genuine. Just as God created everything good, every thought that is not good, is not from God. Just as every feeling is not from God although we are God’s creation.

When understood that God is the foundation of all things, life becomes a lot “lighter.”
