Authenticity isn’t just about being yourself.
It’s about unlearning everything the world told you to be. Because most of us don’t even realise how much of our identity is shaped before we even had a say in it.

We think we’re being real in private, but even that private version of us has been filtered through some sort of lens: criticism and culture, rules, religion, rejection, family expectations — you name it.

So even when we think we’re being ourselves, quite often we’re just being the most acceptable version of who we’ve been conditioned to be.

Authenticity isn’t something you express first. Authenticity is something you unearth.

So in Part Two, we talked about presence.
And this is where it really matters. Because if you’re never still, or you’ve never practised stillness, you never hear the parts the world has conditioned you to ignore — the parts you didn’t feel were allowed to show up, the parts you edited out so that you could fit in and stay safe, or just avoid judgement.

So authenticity begins in silence.
Awareness.
And asking yourself: who am I when I’m not performing or trying to fit in?
Who am I before the world told me what was too much, or not enough?
And what do I really want out of life?

Authenticity is never about rebellion.
It’s about discovering truth.
It’s about discovering you, instead of hiding, so that you can stand in your uniqueness.

Authenticity is alignment with the highest version of you.
It’s spiritual intelligence in action.
It’s a strategy.

You stop playing small.
Your energy stops leaking.

And here’s what I actually discovered:
When you finally show up as the version that isn’t edited for mass approval, people instantly feel it.

Your conversations change.
Opportunities improve.
The rooms that you enter are elevated.
And that’s all because you finally returned to the truest, highest version of yourself.

When you show up as the real you, you become unforgettable — because most people are still hiding.

So I’ve got a question for you:
What would you create, say, do, launch or claim if you stopped shrinking yourself to be accepted?
What would your life look like?

The life you want is aligned with your true identity, and it’s just waiting for you to find it — and stop squeezing into other people’s opinions, other people’s visions, wanting to mirror other people’s lives.

Authenticity is the spiritual result of understanding the I AM within, which we touched on in the video called Spiritual Identity Shift — the Power of I AM. You can find it on my website, bessobarotimi.com.

Authenticity becomes available to you the moment you stop asking for permission to be who you already are.

This journey is just the beginning.
The full teaching and deeper frameworks are inside the book.

More video content to come.
More voice notes to come.

There’s no Amazon link to share just yet. The book page, as I say, goes live 2nd December.
