The Restrictive Area Of Contrasts

Test the truth value of what defines you, so you distance yourself from the doubtful identity that limits you.

I know myself, but in relation to what I am or what I am not? An intoxicating glow flickers with a frail flame in the consciousness lamp, like a dying world, because it is born. Created through a superior effort to understand the true version of the Man who owns the truth. Composed, in its turn, of an indefinite lot of small truths, narrow access ways to the great mystery of a galaxy difficult to access, at points of discontinuity of the existential paths that maintain a constant potential difference between the never-ending Self and the deceitful Alter-Ego.

On the way to establishing the first stages of my artistic approach, because art associated with visual expression is my only source of spiritual development, I have learned a lot about what I want to be and about what others think of me as compared to the ability to exploit the lessons of creative and reflective thinking.

To what extent do you manage to transform extreme events into your own artistic language, making "misfit" a unique form of expression?

I myself became the expression of an unparalleled art, a very refined, suggestive and different language construction of what the world generally considers to be the formula of a new dominant intellectual structure, succeeding in exalting expression at the level of mastery through the view beyond time. The doubtful identity that limits me is directly correlated with my inability to feel “whole” in a world overwhelmed by extreme events in which I never feel adapted.

The strong man always struggles with the fear of becoming more than he can endure. Art is not just a journey to discovering a new meaning given to existence, events or some inner troubles, but it is also a great class improvisation that you practice by referring to a mountain that you have to conquer. Masutatsu Oyama, one of the greatest fighters of all time, permanently kept in his conscience only one thought: "I'm afraid to fight. I'm afraid to be defeated and lose. However, I am always looking for a new opponent."

How can the effects of your winning attitude be justified when the object of your thinking becomes the extension of a self-righteous self-image that does not follow criteria other than those provided by the succession of inner troubles?

Truths that worry Man always compose an evolving world, which is intense and strong in its feelings, as if torn from the unreal sphere of strong opposition, more consistent and intelligent, invariably taking him to another level of its understanding and development.

The effects of your winning attitude can be justified as a departure from a concentric universe when the object of your thinking becomes the extension of a powerful self-image – by having the courage and the virtue of confessing the permanence of the empirically established truths, or even of those forged by imagination from the amazement of the tricky character of a pretentious art.

Undoubtedly, something in me capitulates, withdraws in the disturbing corner of contrasts that threaten my stability, telling me that I should rather escape from that meeting time with the deceitful Alter-Ego. To distance myself from the identity subject to a continuous and progressive stretching of restrictions, which render the extent to which I am subject to limitations. And look at myself from its outskirts.

How can your art, like a refined construction of language, reflect vision beyond time, even when questionable identity prevents you from feeling "whole"?

Vulnerable. I am locked in a speed of light at the level of dark thoughts overlapped by another image, a loaned form of some self-cancellation repetitive causes, that reality flatly refuses to accept. Where my reason stores its unrevealed content of contrasts, its hidden meanings, moving from static to dynamic and vice versa, there is the validation of my being that facilitates the meeting with the subconscious - the only one who can order and harmonize everything within me.

In a steady state, when my thoughts are directed towards the destiny of a new being, reborn under the impulse of becoming, there must be continuity between the diluted essence of my diligent nature and the unrewarding appearance of a reality having a finite representation.

Are you the adept of that predetermined way of constructing a refined language that provides steadfastness in everything that life means – with its experiences so designed by experience that it can be translated into art without losing its original quality?

The man who ignores its "content" will never be able to properly calculate, in terms of validity of the adopted directions, its exposure to very low or very high temperatures of reality. And leadership, firstly following the cases of bringing man together with the art of knowing himself, is reflected in the way he relates to who he really is when he is surrounded by what is not.

With respect to everything that defines you in relation with who you really are, Anthony Silard, CEO of Global Leadership Institute, said: "If you want to succeed in putting yourself first in life, get out of your own path."

Can fighting the fear of becoming "more than you can handle" be seen as the ultimate art form, where every doubt becomes a new dimension of expression of acceptance of the unknown within?

This avoidance of your number one enemy, the self that often draws you farther and farther from the way of your real nature, can be the double deviation of the spine that limits the essential characteristics - those parts of your personality that wants to develop in order to achieve its fullest. Depending on their degree of development, the aspirations and achievements increase, from the lower to the higher needs (need for social consideration, membership, and self-esteem).

Do you know yourself in relation to what you are or what you are not?

The truths you fathom about yourself belong to that evolving world, strong in its feelings and reactions, which, hitting the negative Alter-Ego strong opposition, achieve the performance to prove your own value, well rooted in reality. This reality must be placed at the service of leadership.

Your experiences designed by experience can be translated into art without losing their original quality when they fall under the endeavor to singularize a single creative law – the authenticity of a true vision of life.

The Restrictive Area Of Contrasts designates that area of interference between what you are and what you want to be, under the action of the artistic endeavor that you use to achieve a new vision of the world and of life. Of course, your personality develops and improves the whole life, but it cannot be reconfigured in disagreement with what kind of native you are. And the greater this discrepancy is, the lower the leadership value.

It's hard, but you absolutely need to know yourself, synchronizing with what you are and with the external reality.
