Beyond Programming: Living from Within

Have you ever truly felt who you are, completely detached from everything? Imagine freeing yourself from imposed frameworks, unwritten rules, and judgments. In doing so, you could genuinely understand what is true for you.

Returning to your core,
Peeling off your layers of protection, one by one,
And proudly presenting your unique creation to the world.
Erasing duality with your color palette.
How would that look?
The power of authenticity.

A lot has been written about authenticity—about standing firm in who you really are and following your heart. But often, it comes with a nice Instagram filter over it. True authenticity, really living to your full potential, may well challenge existing ideas and concepts. What then?

Many who have had deep meditation sessions, breathwork, or other insightful experiences will confirm that the reality is very different from what you initially imagine. It contrasts starkly with how we currently live as a society.
It is free!
In connection.
And beyond all rules and patterns.

No leader is needed anymore because, from that connection with each other, we instinctively know the next step. No one needs to devise it. Being, living, and creating from this field—that world exists, though it might not always be visible here yet (she said optimistically).

So how are we going to live this? Feeling and experiencing it is one thing, but actually living it is quite another. Especially in a society that claims to want authenticity but brings out the pitchforks at the first glimpse of it, pushing you back into the box, startled.

Let them push; going back is no longer an option anyway. Just be full of yourself, right? In my case, I try to base everything in my life here and now as much as possible on that connection with all of us. I strive to feel what is genuinely right, beyond imagination. So I always follow my impulses, no matter how illogical they may seem, and in doing so, I get to experience the most brilliant encounters and events.

I draw inspiration from others who also dare to put what is right into the world. Even if they stand there with trembling lips and knees, you can feel when someone is real, when their message is true and authentic.

When I meet someone like that, I am reminded of how important it is to dare, to share, to raise your head above the parapet. Through their courage, they ignite other inner fires, and before you know it, a collective passionate bonfire flares up.

So be truly authentic, even if it chafes, is exciting, and even hurts. By sharing, experimenting, and connecting, this new reality literally emerges before our eyes.

Let the magic begin!

"I am Tessa Smits, and I will take you on an adventurous journey to explore the unknown and the supposedly impossible. My second novel, ‘I Give Birth To The Universe’, is a prime example of this, where our infinite creative power takes center stage. For me, art is the means to make tangible what cannot be expressed in words. Whether I’m creating art, writing, or crafting something else, my intention remains the same: to seek out what truly touches us, what is real, and what reminds us as human beings of who we truly are—immeasurably powerful."
