Authenticity=Consciousness
2008-05-21 14:32:00 I talk a lot about relationships - how to use them as a barometer to see where we are really at – how healthy we are, what we need to work on. Our relationships should show us who we really are and where we need to pay attention. Now I am very respectful of relationships and want you all to have strong, healthy ones …but very honestly, the relationship I care the most about is the one you have with yourself. The relationship you have with yourself correctly reflects how you understand the universe and your relationship with it. The degree that you know and love yourself is the degree that you will know and love the universe. How well you understand your human existence will accurately reflect your understanding of how the world works. This is the microcosm in the macrocosm – a human life holds all the elements of the larger whole. To understand the Self is to understand the universe....
The Essence of Authenticity
2008-05-19 14:10:00 I don't know how many of you know the "sugar" story of Mahatma Ghandhi. A woman brought her young son to Ghandhi and said, "Please tell my son to stop eating sugar. It is stunting his growth and is bad for him." Ghandhi looked at the woman and said, "Please come back in a month." The woman was a little perplexed, but she turned and left. A month later she came with her son and asked Ghandhi the same question. "Can you please tell my son to stop eating sugar?" Ghandhi looked the young boy in the eye and said, "Stop eating sugar. It is bad for you and will stunt your growth." The boy replied, "If you tell me to stop, I will stop." The woman was pleased but she also looked confused so she turned around and came back and said to Ghandhi, "When I was here a month ago you told me to come back in a month. Why did you do that? What's the difference betwe...

The New Marketing Buzz Word - "Authenticity"
2008-03-31 06:02:00 Actually, it's "synthetic authenticity"...back to buying real products or services, or at least ones that fake it well.In Authenticity (Harvard Business School Press written by legendary business consultants James Gilmore and Joseph Pine II), they argue that the virtualization of life (friends aren't friends unless you 'confirm' them on Facebook; reporters are now all bloggers, and vice versa) has led to a deep consumer yearing for the authentic. America has "toxic levels of inauthenticity, " Gilmore and Pine argue: most of the e-mail we get is fake. It's so difficult to reach a real person via an 800 number that we had to invent a heretofore unnecessary locution - real person - to describe the entity we are trying to reach." (Time Magazine, March 24th 2008> ************************* Standard economic theory assumes that buyers are rational creatures who observe supply-and-demand laws. For centuries, this model worked pretty...
The Fine Line Between Saving Face and Authenticity for Your Personal Brand
2008-02-25 12:45:00 Authenticity is one of the foremost buzz words in the personal branding world. It means being true to yourself and those around you by displaying the real you, instead of managing your image. Image management is about constant manipulation to position yourself as favorable in various situations. My feelings are that in the short-term you ...

Clinton and Obama authenticity
2008-02-12 12:39:00 We all know about Obama's message of change and hope. During his speeches he spends much time explaining how change is possible if people pull together to achieve a goal. The skeptics he counters with explaining what hope means. He asks the voters to believe in their ability to change. That belief seems to energize the crowd, pull them together, and then achieve something. For now it is to cast a vote for Obama. "Yes we can" is part of the change and the hope. Whether one believes in this message or not, one has to admit that Obama more than anyone else owns it. Clinton too talks about change and hope, but it is a copied message. Everyone knows whose message it is, and it merely reduces her credibility to repeat Obama. If she cannot come with a new authentic message of her own, she concedes the agenda to Obama and also proves that she and her assistants lack imagination. A candidate without imagination is...

Establish New Brands That Have Emerging Market Authenticity
2008-02-03 00:00:00 Consider Japan after World War II. The nation’s industrial base had taken a pounding. Because Japan lacks most raw materials, the country needed to export goods in those days of gold-backed currencies if the Japanese were to be able to purchase the oil, minerals, and agricultural goods needed to sustain the nation. Those first postwar ...
No to Celebrity, Yes to Authenticity
2007-12-31 09:09:00 Another gem from Raimondo, who explains it so well. We don't need another telegenic Republican: I'd settle for an intelligent Republican, and in this I sense I'm not alone. ... It's precisely because he isn't in the least bit telegenic that Paul has motivated many thousands to get active in his campaign at some level?because of the power of Paul's ideas. More than that, the Ron Paul Revolutionaries are taking a clear position against the politics of celebrity, with its over-coiffed over-coached candidates and complete absence of authenticity.
Google?s Vint Cerf Interviewed and the Search for Authenticity
2007-12-20 00:00:00 Have you ever noticed how the web is filled with religious metaphors? Some people call me a ?Search Marketing Evangelist?, maybe because I always speak loud and clear to anyone who wants to hear about the new consumer-driven advertising manifesto. In that spirit, I often refer to Google as the facilitator of truth, because of the waste management process it has to go through in order to find great & authentic stories and present it to you in a consistent and orderly fashion. Google weeds out the crap so you have meaningful resources in the SERPs. As a result, a lot of the search marketing images have some kind of a religious significance: the search of authenticity, democracy & freedom and spreading of ideas and opinion. Gord himself talked about it a while ago on his post about The Evolving Whiff of Authencity which you might want to read as well as in the testing of the Google Toolbar Search Term Suggestions Tool. Every concept surrounding search marketing revolves around ...

Enforcement of the Authority of the Certificate of Authenticity
2007-10-25 17:15:00 Here's the short version of a long story: Mommy G hounded us about fraudulent comments all week. At first we were able to placate her with meaningless buzz phrases like: "I appreciate your concern," and later: "We'll get right on it." But eventually she threatened to cut the flow of brownies, and we immediately held an emergency staff meeting to determine what was to be done. The decision was unanimous, thanks in large part to the silent but conspicuous presence of Mommy G and her wooden spoon in the corner of the room.Uncle Wally has been ordered to delete all comments from fake Mommy Gs starting the moment this post goes online. In addition, all comments from fake Mommy Gs from before this post are to be deleted at Uncle Wally's leisure.It's been a great run, you guys. We'll tell you honestly: we found the whole thing absolutely hysterical (but don't tell Mommy G we said so). But when you stand between us and the brownies, something has got to give. And while we may not be a...

Joyful Authenticity by Shalene
2007-08-30 17:33:00 When I began writing and attempting to minister to others through my website and blogs, it was because of the leading of the Holy Spirit. I was led to share my life and my life experiences in a way that would glorify the Lord, and Him alone. I do this by being authentic and transparent in my writings. I share anything about myself, without fear of condemnation. It does not take courage on my part, because I have faith that the Lord has forgiven all my sins, and is shaping me into the person I am to become. He has also used my past to shape me into who I am today. I belong to the most wonderful church- Clovis Hills. Part of their philosophy is to live in Joyful Authenticity."Healthy things grow. They are fed, pruned, bear fruit and experience a harvest. If they don?t, they wither, shrink and eventually die. Our spiritual lives are no different. They don?t just grow on their own, they have to be nurtured, cared for and invested in.God desires to transform our lives into reflections of...

Authenticity or Plasticity?
2007-08-10 19:13:00 In humility is the greatest freedom.As long as you have to defend the imaginary selfthat you think is important, you lose your peace of heart.As soon as you compare that shadowwith the shadows of other people, you lose all joy,because you have begun to trade in unrealitiesand there is no joy in things that do not exist.- Thomas MertonWhat a fantastic quote (thanks to Deconstructed Christian.)This is really the nature of pride, isn't it? To construct and present an image of oneself that is incongruent with how we feel inside. There is, in western culture, a social norm that actually promotes this behavior as well. We are not a culture known for our authenticity and relational strengths. No. Maybe some of the Native American tribes (at least the natives I've been friends with have been a lot more real than I'm usually accustomed to). But most of us have been socialized to put "our best foot forward," or more accurately, "our best face forward." And the comparing, what a profound il...

Authenticity Can't Be Faked
2007-07-10 14:04:00 Much ado has been made as to whether Hillary Clinton can be elected as President of the US in 2008. But, are we asking the right question? Shouldn't we be asking whether Mrs Clinton would make a good President instead?To me, the job of President is one of leadership. You hear the position described as 'Leader of the Free World', 'Leader of the Executive Branch', 'Leader of the Armed Forces'. Would Mrs Clinton make a good leader? I don't think so.One of the reasons why I don't think so is that leaders require specific skills and characteristics - skills can be learned, characteristics can't. Mrs Clinton lacks many of both, and in this post, I'm going to focus on one of the main characteristics - authenticity.We require leaders to be authentic because it's important for us to know who they are, where they've been, and where they're likely to go. Would you follow someone if you didn't have a basic understanding of this?We also require authenticity because without it ther...

Are Marketers Liars? Is Authenticity in Marketing Important?
2007-02-17 00:59:00 Why am I even asking these seemingly obvious questions? (I bet most of you are thinking: “Of course marketers are liars, being inauthentic is their lifeblood.”) Well I was busily attending to the tasks of life in the world of a small company when I got a message from my blogging amigo Chris (the other half of the Crowdspark dynamic duo). He pointed me to an interesting article at Tom Asacker’s blog about authenticity, which got me thinking. Basically Tom makes the argument that Unilever is inauthentic in the way it presents itself because it shows two different faces to the world through it’s marketing for it’s Dove and Axe brands. Tom argues that: (more…)

More on Brand and Authenticity
2007-02-15 07:59:08 Quite a discussion is taking place on several blogs on the matter of branding and authenticity. Starting with William Arruda on his excellent Personal Branding blog: All successful branding is based in authenticity - that is - what?s true and genuine and unique about you. Brands are uncovered, not fabricated. The myth that branding is about spin or packaging and image management needs to be replaced by the truth that ?you can?t be someone you are not.? More on Bobby Lehew in Your Brand - Authenticity rules: I think the field has been covered well, but to state (again) the obvious: branding is not about conveying something you are not but about revealing who you are. Last, but not least on ThinkingSparks, excellent point raised by Pepita: Authenticity isn?t necessarily good. Nor does it mean good. I think of Al Qaeda, IRA, ETA, the mafia, street gangs etc. They would qualify as an authentic brand

Authenticity of Ilkley rock carvings challenged
2006-12-02 18:21:02 Elaborate rock art which for years is believed to have been created by prehistoric Ilkley man (West Yorkshire, England) was probably only created about 170 years ago, it has been revealed. A Victorian workman could have been responsible for some of the markings on one of Britain's most famous examples of prehistoric rock art. Ilkley archaeologist Gavin Edwards says he has proof which suggests the cup and ring markings on the town's internationally-known Panorama Stones were tampered with by a workman called Ambrose Collins in about the 1870s. He said the ladder-shaped markings are what has made the design on the largest of the three stones, the most elaborate example of bronze-age' art in the UK - but he seriously doubts they are the real thing. He got suspicious when he was studying sketches of marked stones which were donated to the town museum in 1880. He said: "The ladders were not on the drawing. Because I feel the ladders are so prominent it's difficult to believe the...
Authenticity & Integrity
2006-10-10 06:57:04 Harry Maryles at Emes Ve-Emunah wrote regarding the halachot of yichud and the problem of alleged or real sexual misconduct in religious communities:It would behoove all public figures, whether rabbinic or political, who consider themselves Frum and indeed even trumpet that fact, to live transparent lives and never seclude themselves with the objects of their desires.I absolutely agree with this idea. And not just for public figures either. And not just regarding seclusion with members of the opposite sex. Living a "transparent" life is living a life of authenticity, where the warts of our personalities can clearly be seen. This kind of transparent authenticity may bring to light the fact that we are NOT ANGELS but indeed, flawed human beings, and while not necessarily flattering to the ego, it can lead us to REAL integrity.Technorati tags: Torah Talmud Torah Judaism jewish jewish people ethics religion integrity authenticity yichud halachah
