Learn to give your thinking the depth of the experience of centuries, borrowing the essence of your chosen traits to those that are deprived of them.

I consistently walked towards an unknown world, without a landmark, as Columbus would head straight towards an undiscovered continent, but I was far less equipped than the famous conquistador, without a compass, without a rudder, and without a divider, feeling that everything would end in a shipwreck. I very much wanted to know a different culture, to give a different color to the mind, an introduction to what I was about to become: an extension of the infinite.

Daydreaming about the amazing proximity to something softer, less hardened by time and fixed ideas, as competent painters constantly seek new models through researching mystical revelations, not through the comparison with what others already managed to do, I could open the story of a short madness. Same as how Salvador Dali did it. I was a man of broad mind.

Plunged towards the virtuality of a self-renewal, towards an existence easily justified in terms of the consciousness that showed itself as being a divine grace, I sought to acquire an uplifting intelligence that was not subscribed to that dogma belonging to minds vulnerable to the condition of searching the world far and wide. I knew that I always had to seek within me the answers to the questions I didn’t know, but all that was inspiration came from the old conquistadors.

Columbus represented the courage of opening new doors to a world through posterity, not a pale imitation of a useless action of sustaining and promoting an amusing idea. Salvador Dali represented the art of imagining to see beyond the mirror of reality.

In the equation of the reaction between the aspiration to the absolute and the possibility of surpassing your actual condition, where that continuous and constant form of communication between the two resounds, a new function of access to the representation of a new wave of avant-garde is established, called "the degree of membership to the elite of evolved minds".

How do you relate to the experience of transforming the reality with which you come into contact and capitalizing on those discovered, so as to give your thoughts the depth of centuries-old experience?

In his old age, when the health of Prince Tyllerand never improved due to painful inflammation of the eyes, his sole concern remained that of knowledge. Although the illness prevented him from browsing the books in his library, the Lady of Coigny would tell us the following about him: "He would touch the books, put them back, he would leave them only to take them again, he would investigate them as if they were alive and this exercise, giving his thinking the depth of the experience of centuries, borrowed the writings and elegance of which their authors were often deprived."

Sometimes, everything related to the conditions of validating a form of exercising the ability of serving as a model of inspiration results from the way in which you manifest your discretion – this is the best part of the courage of surpassing yourself through education. To give your thinking the depth of the centuries-old experience means to relate your thinking to the acts of greatness of the forefathers who have shown a spirit of sacrifice, courage, ability to dream with open eyes, qualities that can be taken as examples to follow. It means closing in on the story of a question: how can you live a life that can be the scene of a discussion between Christopher Columbus and Salvador Dali?

Often, I myself was referring to the experience of transforming reality into a process of revelation, to see beyond the immediate of an inauthentic subjectivity, beyond exploring a jumble of confused choices, through a kind of exercise of admiration for precursors of new ways of approaching the artistic vision.

Do you get involved in creating a revelation that transforms aspirations into reality, as a way of illustrating the depth of feeling that is not easy to understand in your inspirational model?

The role of men of genius, often perceived as being inactive or incapable of externalizing, uniting us around some ideal that transcends the concrete, is that of being the main landmark of an intellectual tension that puts at its center of attention not so much the inclination to increasing pluralism in thought as much as obtaining the revelation of a phenomenon of relevance.

You resonate with others not through your actions, not through creation or its messages transmitted directly or indirectly, not through the means of a character you highlight. But through the induction of a state of mind to a certain frequency of reflection, through your very nature – offering a vaster experience of self-realization at a level of mastery, constructing a unique, seductive identity.

Greatness in leadership, originating in establishing a revelation that transforms aspirations into reality, is an illustration of the depth of feeling what is not easily understood in your model of inspiration, but rather guessed, interpreting the message of its actions. Revelation is the promise of what you become in a synchronicity of your life with someone else, at the level of inspiration in grabbing a chiseled form of thought.

Just as an established literary historian, when facts are rare, strives to supplement them with cautious assumptions and legitimate inductions of a wise criticism, so too does the man who follows a certain model of inspiration must borrow from him those subtle traits that only show up in time, and which will supplement his lack of experience.

Such a model of inspiration incorporates everything in one, everything that is best within you, everything you accumulate at a certain level of thinking.

Can you establish the priority of running a program of the type "I find myself in a past-future story", in order to create a unique originality in the midst of all banal imitations revolving around your personality?

The program of the type "I find myself in a moment of alternate past-future story" addresses especially to the minds that give their thinking the depth of the experience of centuries, borrowing the essence of their traits to those that are deprived of them. Even through the memories left behind by them, through their experiences and stories, the essence always has something to say.

On the other hand, imitation is a form of sincere appreciation of someone, but which doesn’t show the tendency of progress, doesn’t show the tendency of placing yourself higher than that initial model or even of aligning yourself to its essence. The only trivial imitation that can be done around a striking personality, very educated and so well anchored in the chosen culture sphere, is that form of flattery attributed to the well-trained professional artist, but who is never seduced by the variant of a new reality.

Imitation is a superficial form of evaluation of an individual, not taking into account those discrete portions from his existence that frames his greatness. It highlights its ideas, but not their benefits. Imitation re-highlights man’s past, without linking to it those feelings you cherish.

Leadership is the history of your presence in a certain place, in a certain time, in a certain environment, when life began to seem to you a discovery of a hard, fantastic, difficult to manage reality that you had to manage that you had to assume on your own and overcome it through penetrating intelligence.

The Elite of Evolved Minds includes all of those individuals who identify with the old pioneers, having the same worldly impact, functioning in the same style of thinking and action – as a tribute to the phenomenon of resonance, but also as a launching pad towards other unexplored corners of the world.
