The Black Curtain Of A Hidden Weakness
Carefully polish your own aspirations, as to better position in relation to yourself.
The idea that began to take shape in my mind was that I would manage to escape. To leave the suffocating and antipathetic state that I reached, proper to a traveler who crosses a land full of obstacles. I didn’t have such strength of thinking as Spinoza, Kant and Locke that would indicate a road in the confusion that still continues to indulge many philosophers, whose prime rib is that real spark of the dream unharmed by the attainment of a vision of bliss on the world. So I was willing to accept any kind of provocation from the coldness of the mind.
It was obvious that in that moment I was not myself. I was not more a wanderer, un solitaire sur les royaumes de l'objectivité, a convict to a certain fate, to a final judgment that kills the spirit and enslaves the mind. But, a philosopher searching diligently for the field of unknown. Have I managed to cheat easily the fate?
I was following the punishment of a crime, like a character from "1001 ghosts" of Al. Dumas. And if it was true that I committed the crime of which I accused myself, this leap towards the correct self-assessment would be a sin. The terrifying "crime" was the one to serve a different purpose, more brilliant, more sophisticated, and more meaningful than it would have been able to make someone like me, a stranger into the world of illustrious, of artists.
Beyond the borders of my conscience, was outlining a viewpoint that emerged almost out of nothing. As if I was suddenly enveloped in darkness and in all this sinister darkness would have appear a beneficial light that mysteriously transmitted to me: "You can be somebody else."
Can you live from what you do not know about yourself, allowing yourself to be penetrated by the solemnity that is due a finale belonging to the necessity of stimulating duality "artist-magician"?
I was living out of what I did not know about myself, that is, I was allowing myself to fall prey to the fantasy of breaking free from rules, breaking free from mediocrity, self-introducing myself into the “laboratory” of the great writers of literature and science, with the observation that the boundary between literature and science was often artificial. Almost hopelessly, I had launched myself into an outpouring of intelligence and charm, on a space-time route to an impossible purpose: to be an integral part of an experience encapsulated in mystical writings.
I tasted the quivering pleasure, the spicy drunkenness, intense of a total transformation. I longed for experiencing it again and again. I gathered my entire will, all courage to start the movie script, like a man who throws himself again and again in the stormy waves of a devouring obsession just to relive that stimulant sense of transformation.
The script "The Magician" my first incursion into the sphere of my inner world, the instrument of formation of a different type of personality, one hidden under the precious cover of a total renewal, was to be a much harder attempt than I have imagined. How tempting could be this story, this incredible option of perfection?
The art of being someone else is how to value your precious talent of verisimilitude, manipulating the magic of making an illusion of yourself in the most beautiful way possible, making you forget that you are reading from your own unique reading experience.
Regardless of the script and its impact, I launched myself in a completely different kind of understanding the world, life, and universe. I felt more freely, less subjected to erosion. I removed the black curtain of my hidden weakness: of wanting to find out what I wish I did not know. I became someone else. Totally foreign to those who knew me. The magician made the connection between ordinary man and the artist of an infinite world, a world where once integrated I could look beyond the appearances of so-called normality.
I could play a character quite close to what I was in reality. With thirsty curiosity I descended up to the deeper areas of my passion, from where sprang impetuous and determined all ideas, all ideals, all my virtues, where all forms of knowledge were combining and merged into an absolute mastery. And, just like a chemist experimenting with new chemical reactions, combining various elements, I managed to develop the key element, the essence that could maximize my creative ability.
What I wanted was closely interwoven with what I was. What I did not know about myself was closely intertwined with the reality that imagination created. The artist-magician duality brought to the forefront the capacity to turn an absence into a presence, rendering a state of reality as plastic as possible, that is by placing an emphasis on things that depend only on me to be illuminated, manifested in various forms of existence and infinite in time and space.
Can you measure the force of your thinking according to the adventure of losing yourself in the world of the characters of a story about the spectacle of everyday life, so you can benefit from the image of the ideal of being someone else?
One of the fastest ways to shape your personality is to train your Ego for accepting the change. The way you highlight your qualities, especially your power to intervene in the evolution of things, reflects that part of you, that positive momentum that you unlock when you want to surpass yourself. Consequently, concern yourself more of the nature of your being.
Just as the fashion shows follow to create a novel of shape and color, raised at the rank of art, based on a good knowledge of trends in "Haute Couture" and the public expectations – in the same way, leadership is based on a better knowledge of yourself in relation to the stimulation and boosting the development capacity of the optimal level of performance, but also on the expectations of others.
You become someone else only when you manage to play a character quite close to what you really are, and of what others expect from you. The adventure of seeing yourself as the character in a book or a movie will bring you closer to a new dimension of your personality, one approachable through the human image that can be separated from the old landmarks and the old reality.
Being someone else means perceiving yourself as compared to bringing someone into a more representative, primordial image, in a completely different background, with diverse ambience, to face the challenge of being part of a story script that has all the chances to become real.
Are you devoting yourself to the "awful crime" to serve a different purpose, more brilliant, more sophisticated, more meaningful than you would have been able to accomplish? Do you have the courage to investigate diligently, like a philosopher, for the field of unknown? Or, you prefer to remain a wanderer, a convict to a certain fate, to a final judgment that kills the spirit and enslaves the mind? It depends on you and your choice.
Leadership is a unique masterpiece variant called "It will hurt a little", which comes with a comprehensive view of what it means to be someone else, close to the obsession of the artist looking for untapped territories, unknown worlds, as of yet undetected human dimensions.
The Black Curtain Of A Hidden Weakness expresses the reason, the implacable force of mind and thought, which prevents you see what you lack to be you, which is essential in defining a wider horizon. Highlight the force that seeks to hide your head characteristics towards you and others.
Do you remember the Little Prince from the work of Antoine de Saint Exupery? He said: "I've always loved the desert. You sit down on a sand dune. You see nothing. You hear nothing. And yet something shines in his silence. That makes the desert beautiful because it hides a well somewhere... "
Leadership dissolves itself; the boundaries between knowledge, perception and reality become permeable if you do not know yourself well enough. By starting the exploration of your own Ego is like looking for a well in the desert. You can understand the "mystery of shining" only if you intervene in your evolution process, but without "distorting" the final target of yours and others.
Only if your searches are based on concrete elements detected with specific "tools" - mental or material, you can find the source of knowledge and the subsequent way of progress.
Carefully polish your own aspirations, as to better position in relation to yourself.
