The Magnificent Transfer Of Personality Of The Artists Of Genius
Stage a performance of big-time leadership, without losing of sight who you really are.
It was a kind of manifestation of his will, more and more fertile, an excrescence in his functioning area, a strong pivot that penetrated indistinctly, deep and thoroughly in the deepest fibers of his being. An Alter-Ego, a triggering element, a great appropriation, an absolute detachment of any connection with the known interpretations of reality and acceptability, meant to initiate his magnificent transformation, gave him the impetus to achieve the high and difficult standards of Gattaca.
- I, Jerome Morrow was not destined to be the second on the podium. With everything I had, I was still in second place. I ! How can you imagine that you will succeed, you, Vincent Freeman? exclaimed the cripple from the wheelchair.
These shocking words, still accompanied by a shred of sense, were enough to cause an earthquake, but one that really shook the whole Vincent’s fabric of support, the hardly accessible cave where hibernated soundless the most valuable attributes. An acceleration of rhythm, as an amplification of the blood flow in a cerebral vessel.
Through a renewal of the spirit, through a transfer of personality, through a short-term lending of the most subtle qualities - but crucial, Vincent, the man who was destined to fail, takes the place of Jerome.
However, the crust covering his inner lava was hard to crack. In a barely perceptible extent, the beginner proved to be essentially the imitator, not and an original, not a clever innovator that cuts his path through the crowd, continuing to be step by step ahead of other competitors. Fiat voluntas tua, Deus Meus !
Do you negotiate your winning posture under the impression of a mirror image as coming from experiencing a unique moment of creating an unexpected authority built under the pressure of a reality that is almost impossible to change?
To live your miracle, to reach your goal by being someone else, calling on the set of qualities that characterize your desire, your sense of superiority, is a true renaissance in the will, faith and harmony. An alter ego opposite to the visible one. However, a false transposition by which you hope to become une autre personne, is nothing else but a travesty, and not at all a metamorphosis.
However, this constraint in the combination with an Alter Ego, in certain circumstances, it may prove to be the huge secret of victory, through a conversion of the personality !
The thundering show of the transvestites. A double play, two main actors, shining one and the same through a grand conquest of something proper, of the whole human universe. Firmly established – in a genius way - in a single role, of exception: "The Magician".
Like some enthusiasts of the new, of discovery, of unconventional, of adrenaline, the two winners rips through spirit and deed, the fragile shell of an imposed identity, which will bestow decisively the content, full of stimulant substance, in a hostile environment.
Vincent Freeman reaches through Jerome Morrow, a first-class navigator, a kind of Robur on board of a Ėpouvante, faced with an impossible mission, overcoming the unknown. Being forced to take advantage of every lucky circumstance, in order to rise up to the upper layers of his own Ego. An artist of the wand - of the spirit, of polishing the personality. And of the effect that colors life.
Can you play a double role in the same play without sacrificing the quality of offering the actor what is his, in the sense of a value given to the direct relationship between two characters with the same affinities, but with different life stories?
In turn, Jerome Morrow reach through Vincent Freeman a gold medal winner, reconditioning the essential power of his being, shedding the limits, violating the harsh conditions imposed by the life’s fierce court of law. An artist par excellence, a high-class magician whose magnificent trick thunderstruck his toughest fan, but also the most undeserved: relentless destiny.
Does something mechanical pushes you with determination, constraining, beyond the limits accepted by society? Are you trying to divert the harsh laws that govern life? For what purpose? Is it for the purpose of the success to be better than you have been given?
The excellence in leadership involves the willingness to induce beneficial changes in your own "Ego" in the way of thinking and action. And presupposes the exacerbation of your own claims across the proposed "terminus point" but also the ongoing assessment of the effects of these transformations. The difficult access to that world which the leader, the artist within you, it creates, without being disturbed by reality.
To play a dual role in a play, in which the script is written by the hostile hand of fate, means to risk losing yourself on the accords of a choreography that represent you in a typically vulnerable position, with some weaknesses: you become one with the character you only understood at the end.
A beneficial change, a step ahead towards the much desired excellence, concomitantly a heavy and a categorical self-abandonment, cold and hard as a millstone, it is rarely possible. Only you know what and how much you can carry in the back, only you know by what you hit bearing the burden of a decisive transformation. Just as the lyrics from "Concrete Angel" of Martina McBride tell: "It's hard to see the pain behind the mask / Bearing the burden of a secret storm. / Sometimes she wishes she was never born."
Conscience always requires you to remember the limits you hold within yourself, consistent with the prerequisites of obtaining a final that is not always the one you want.
Do you have the courage to change your identity, to renew your spirit through a transfer of personality? But the question that may arise in some hearts is: "How long could you remain someone else than who you really are?"
Like an illusionist who transforms his magic in a unique way, many times the man heading towards success turns his creative energies into a highly effective way, then uniting them into a single point and heading straight to that point, without looking neither to the right nor left.
But an alter ego opposite to the visible one, a false metamorphosis by which he loses himself. Obtaining an appearance of being someone else, means nothing but a travesty of short term, an incredible journey into an adventure where the reality and magic merges, and whose stake is your own Ego.
How will you cope when you will reach the proposed "terminus point", as a ratio of forces between inputs and outputs?
The battle is fought between the two sides, between the two forces of energy, of which result depends the survival of your own "Ego". Your ability to become one with your consciousness, the exclusive opportunity to get access to the essence of your own self, to the truth of your being, to what is sustainable, depends on how you handle it when you reach the proposed "terminus point".
Will its touch be sufficient to produce a spiritual "cleaning" a new dimensioning of the horizons, a clarification of your own needs?
For once you have reached the top of the mountain, by detour ways, there is no other direction than downwards, following exactly the same ways. You cannot do anything but to strive descending. And the descent is always more difficult than the ascent, and it is even more difficult the more you fight against the transformation – to the return to who you really are. The more you oppose resistance to the reality of being who you really are, the more you risk descending even harder, and the more exists the risk of you losing yourself completely.
Input is the lucky number promising success in the implementation of plans, highlighted by two qualities: courage and determination. Output is your reaction to achieving the goal, it is the main purpose of the personal approach to the "particular context of a cause that conscience absolves of any blame".
The true measure of the talent of being an artist is the recognition of a finality that ends an existence marked by an exception, in which man finally sees his dream fulfilled through the eyes of a character played with great devotion.
The magnificent transfer of personality of the artists of genius highlights the constant struggle in order to increase your performance. A mystery of the excellence, an impulse of success, but a necessary right or a sin?
Know your limits, know your potential, and do not soar into an adventure in which you must fight the impossible unless you are made of a hard and a highly elastic material. The magnificent metamorphosis of your personality belongs only to the artists of genius, not to the dilettante ones.
For from the hard won success, labored with so much sacrifice and hope, and from the long-awaited victory, necessary to obtain excellence, may be born not only satisfaction, but also guilt, regret and pain, or desperation of wanting to be someone else than what you are and what you can be.
And, paraphrasing a famous writer, nothing withers quicker the heart of a man, than the loss of his true identity in the battle with the invincible superiority of fate, this supreme power of all time, which sometimes is defeated by an artist and by thousands of times is kneaded by life.
