(Assorted notes referenced from Almine's materials, I'm unsure where this was from

"Artificiality is the 'space' that remains when we have abandoned our larger cosmic positions, in other words where we have forsaken our contract with the Mother to carry the keys to open the doors home. Usually this will occur for 2 reasons -

1) we feel that the burden of responsibility is too great and actually forefeit our role,
2) we are manipulated in some way to "forget" what we were supposed to be doing, which has the same result.



In the absense of the place where we should be standing, a space opens and it is there that artificiality is formed. In short, artificiality exists wherever there is self-abandonment. Artificial is not the opposite of authentic, however authentic expression helps to cancel it out. We need to define then what is 'authentic expression' - because it's not exactly what it seems."

Almine goes on to explain in many areas that "authentic expression" is not the shallow concept that is referred to as authenticity my many (just as the version of "love" spoke of by many is actually highly programmed). It's not about "speaking out truth", "being our authentic selves" and such in a shallow manner, but rather, authenticity is what expresses simply in the absence of self-abandonment and in full remembrance of our divinity 💜
