(hence authenticity and intensity of experience)

It’s a rare person who’d enjoy an insipid life and who’d prefer things to be dull. Rarer still someone who’d truly prefer simulated life to the real thing. Even the most commited couch potato, if you could get them up off their arse, would rather be out in the world having a good time than watching other people doing it on TV. But the intensity of experience we crave and look for mistakenly in drink, sex, drugs or spending money to excess, to name but a few examples, can only truly be accessed with a pure heart. This implies a sufficient level of inner self-awareness to be honest with yourself and hence honest with others wherever and whenever possible, something usually facilitated by a few years of therapy with a competent therapist, meditation under instruction from an experienced teacher, or both. Meanwhile, immediately start visualizing yourself with absolute self-honesty, purity of heart in other words, living each and every moment with optimum authenticity and hence intensity now (however that may look to you).
