Authentic Selfality isn’t egoistic. A self centeredness is integral to mindful, differen-
tially appreciative lives. Authentic selfidentity (openly enowned enspiriting of life-oriental being well) lives comfortably with appreciated differences between itSelf (oneSelf in-and-for one’s life) and genuineness with persons, i.e., variably s/p differentiatial interaction.
Flourishing life-oriental cohering of S/s/p differentiality potentially expresses an authentic Selfal reflectivity which is integral to there being fascinating phenomena; or—I would proffer—ethical artistry of generative mindfulness.
That’s “I”-centric, so to speak, because the futurity of a good life belongs to the singular living of continuous years (not the “lateral” contemporaneity of all the relationships in one’s life). So, the “egocentric” is a sense of fully temporal (“vertical”) Selfality that is not egoistic.
Such Selfality is easily inter-selfal—intimately identifying-with, as if “you” are a “soulmate” (rarely, though: deep frienship, the best intimacy); or as if enchantment or elation with something itself is intimately responsive (owning intention). Or personifications of things are intimations of invisibly grand potentials, as if they’re intrinsically potentiated. An author is written into literary reading. My sense of you still here is “real.”
All in all—in the conceptual horizon—Selfality dissolves into thriving phenomenality of the day, of lives, as flourishing phenomenality of living “this” time, this day, especially (for creative life) in being released into play by phenomenality (and conceptuality entranced in its self-enhancive generativity), gaining telic cohering
of Itself.
