Learn to believe in what cannot be understood, integrating yourself in a culture of originality and unique experiences.

I was rather looking for the basis of the real in the game of the inner world than in the solidity of the outside world, everything black on white, pushed by the desire of defeating the impossible. Even to the negation of my nature. As if my mind had been framed in an intangible border that gave me individuality in relation to a gigantic effort of controlling the explorer instincts of misunderstandings. And the veiling of my mind in a mist of mystery of a higher order, impenetrable, clothes in the unusual ornament of appearances in which you could capture the signs of a time of noology, made it that I couldn’t distinguish beginning from end.

It was an unmanageable contradiction between the tendencies of understanding the impossible that had its roots in the games of shapeshifting, in the distilled lyricism of essences from a calculated spectacle of masks. Substantia mysterium. A nebula in which the meaning of life could get lose in the 180-degree rotation of reason. What could I have added to my perceptual horizon, so full of meanings full of misunderstandings? The answer was simple. None other than new varieties of fictional forces, acting in a sense convenient to my repositioning in a real that wasn’t everything.

Does Dante not say that doubt offers just as much enjoyment as knowledge? I would’ve wanted to be present everywhere in that version of my integration in this impossible, like in a magic mantra, to be the witness of all unimaginable events, of all beginnings and ends, to confront nothingness, to master the material, to accede to the peaks that seem unattainable in real life. But the ghost tucked away in my mind was stronger than me. What would Christopher Priest have to say about this regular chaining of the phenomena of consciousness that accepts relativism?

The man with the black cape stepped into the spotlight and in their intense glow, raised his hands in sight, spreading his fingers to prove that he was hiding nothing between them.

- Look at my hands. Now I am making my last trick. I will pull a bouquet of flowers from the hands in which you know I have nothing.

Can you ensure the exceptional condition by which getting close to the active character of knowledge is achieved without using the negation of your nature?

The differentiating activity of the self is the main constant in the equation of limits that need to be assumed and surpassed in the base of existence, thought and conscience. And the inclusion of utopias and realities in a complicated game of identity dilemmas, lived in the singularity of a world located on another plane of existence than the usual one, creates an unrealistic version of your ability to represent the axis of a natural phenomenology.

However, an existence whose meaning is reflected, as in a mirror, in what cannot be seen, can ensure that exceptional condition through which getting close to the scientific character of a story that enchants. To find yourself at the border between known things and surprising things is an opportunity of integrating yourself into a culture of originality. It is a unique experience of revealing an unseen world that gives you the chance to restoring yourself like a sort of magician of the methods of tricking reality. In this case, what can be seen cannot be touched, the meaning deviates from the requirements of verisimilitude.

Albert Einstein said at one point: "The most beautiful and profound human experience is mystery." He believed with all his being that the feeling of mystery underlies all trends in science and art. Do you have the ability to establish the reality of your duplication in a coupling of forces opposed to classic mentality? Do you have the power to metamorphose your whole mind into a ball whose meanings cannot be fully deciphered by anyone?

This means, narrowly, to reveal a new facet of knowledge by experiencing and going through mystery until achieving the main objective: personal reinvention. And leadership emits a different frequency of approximating your own identity, which must coincide with that of the meanings you convey. Be careful what your magic consists of !

Using the negation of your nature to make a quicker approach to the active character of knowledge requires using credible arguments to conceal your dominant feature by combining notions, ideas, effects. These, even though they sometimes seem absurd in a certain context, reach a certain moment of revelation that causes viewers to discover that you are someone strong, resourceful.

Such a "I am not who you think I am" kind of negation can induce some confusion to those who look at you, but it is one of the main causes (perhaps even the most important one) that allows you to accomplish things that no one thinks possible.

How it is reflected the doubt towards the demands of reality by taking into account the truth found behind the experiences that individualize you?

The formula of any scientific approach can be expressed as: "I want to believe in what cannot be understood". This brings to the fore the possibility of obtaining a rational understanding of mystery, going from the game of appearances to truths that can provide a new science. The inclination towards the mysterious, towards the unusual, the appetite for miracles are in your nature, but they must constitute a foundation, a direct given of the development of science that others can love, even if they cannot explain it.

If you do not capitalize what is particular, whether embracing mostly the notions of the art of transformation and the repositioning against your own experiences, whether, on the contrary, by fully restricting the sphere of knowledge you limit the angle of approaching various views of the mind, then you will fail to fit in the spectacular path of the development of leadership.

The destination of unicity – that can facilitate your access to the fundamentals of the science of breaking loose from any petrification in the rigorous, to dedicated yourself to a different, more subtle reality, inspiring new patterns of thought, starts with the innocent game of appearances and mirror images. They question your relevance of placing yourself under the baton of an Alter-Ego.

Doubt towards your own self, namely to the truth behind the experiences that individualize you, going even to the negation of your nature, offers just as much enjoyment as knowledge – because it prepares the field for your unchaining from the influence of a narrow perspective of understanding complex phenomena. These phenomena can produce significant differences in the results of your condition as an "immigrant" who first limits his possibilities of creation.

Leadership is that particular thing you suggest in a certain context in order to achieve a positive overall effect on multiplying the relationship between what is not known and what can be done to make it all possible in a different reality.

The Phenomenology Of Magic is closely linked with the development of creative thinking that has no relation with the concrete man, but with the man transformed into a superior entity that can only be understood by taking into account the "hidden" parameters of his own nature. That means to rather look for the basis of the real in the game of the inner world than in the solidity of the outside world, everything black on white, pushed by the desire of defeating the impossible.

To make your existence plausible through magic, by amplifying the feeling of power and by creating the impossible, that is worthy of a superior leadership. Hence one of the main traits of the leader – openness to the new, the ability of combining and recombining the representations of reality – and if need be, to give them up.
