The Show Must Go On

Learn to turn leadership into an abstract science, allowing yourself the liberty of believing in something beyond human powers.

The thought led me to realizations in which imagination and the freedom of believing in something beyond human powers, captured in the unique dimension of the surreal, made themselves felt in full in all sorts of combinations. Moreover, a wide range of accomplishments, only able to be categorized in a logic of going through a form of expression through the creative filter, by combining the spaces beyond the curtain of reality, was called simply "composition."

And, behold, the developer of art showcases his ability of anticipating a disturbing reality. Being someone else, he continues to see where all others tire of trying to seek. Peerless, we can distinguish him as being dressed as an actor above a pile of extras, in the position of a king of creation. As if he feels a deep calling among the masks, mirrors, makeup, various costumes, colors, concepts, development lines, all of them taking the shape of "empty spaces / abandoned places", later included in a single existential idea: "Whatever happens, I’ll leave it all to chance."

Blessed with a Divinis Influxibus Ex Alto, the genius sees himself clothed not only with the garbs of art, but with the color of an elevated reason, served by a noble consciousness, which like a mysterious treasure, located in the center of subjective light, brings him the satisfaction of the fiction that gives the illusion of the seen living life "Behind the curtain, in the pantomime."

Leadership: Does the individuality you give to Creation relate to it an external determination beyond you, receptive only to the formation of an authentic aesthetic vision?

Basically, Freddie Mercury, this maximum percentage of imagination, behaves like a painter who arranges from a cohesive unity the various elements he has at hand in order to clearly communicate his emotional message: "The show must go on." It is not about the experience of the soul to be trapped in the mirror of an inaccessible world, elementary to reaching a connection with the symbols of the cabalistic creation taken over in the great masterpieces of Impressionism, if so could be called those games of substitution of the Ego through its different roles, but rather, it is about scrutinizing the depths of an idea and the temptations to push boundaries, in the permanent search for alterity.

Now begins the primordial, where the forces of the highest inspiration are engaged. And I see myself surprised by the impression of the whole that results from unification of the scientific side with a dark and infinite torment: I still exist. But, how? Through what not just anyone can see, through what I create and through what I am in this second, or third, dimension of reality. "I have to find the will to carry on… with the show."

I would have no clear reason to feel intimidated in the face of tis art of genius. In the splendor reflected by genius, where everything takes on accents and noble ties, the fluidization of the blood of the scientific whole can be felt, as if trying to restore the architecture of the visible world sprayed by too direct perceptions of impressionism.

Like a conqueror of universes who sees the dance of stars in any reminiscence of the world – whose elements he arranges in almost lucid relationships, I was about to behave in front of art as if I had voluntarily entered death, a place equal with the abode of divinity, so that afterwards I could be revived as a master of the unknown. "Inside in the dark I’m aching to be free."

Yet, a thought still bothers: "Does anybody know what we are living for? I guess I’m learning…"

Leadership: Can you become an effect of "the power of future projection and anticipation" in the case of the forces of art exerted between the tides of content changes?

I urge you to watch the music video for "The Show Must Go On". If you watch closely, fascinated, spellbound by the spectacle full of effects of a revolutionary spirit, you can sense art in everything found on a physical plane. But performed in the endless waltz of thoughts to which a certain space is attributed – deserted or crowded – depends in what equation of science you introduce suggestiveness and double message.

Leadership, extracted from the surrounding environment based on facts and their consequences, can aim at the large area of their applicability on a medium and long term, but filtered through the curiosity of knowledge, through all sorts of combinations. Basically, leadership involves the exercising of the power of creation gained from the experience of integrating and using the highest of inspirational forces.

Through what not just anyone can see, through what you believe and through what you are in that dimension of reality that we call "extended consciousness", you basically approach the process of stimulus-reaction, directing your role as an existential explorer towards the maximum potential of an agent of change. This is what it means to be an artist.

And, in order to get to consider yourself an effect of the “power of future projection and anticipation” by the presumed content of an artistic culture located beyond the curtain of time, in a direct connection with the imaginary universe of a world thought of in symbolic terms, in a realm of infinite associations, you must first let your spirit lead to ideas that are beyond what ordinary reason can sense.

The necessity of using the science imposed by the artistic dimension of an unparalleled work has as a reference pivot the power to continue to develop the color of an elevated reason capable of justifying your character as a reformer, with the risk of exceeding the possibilities of understanding of the crowd.

If you find yourself surprised by the impression of the whole resulting from uniting the scientific side with a dark and infinite torment: I still exist, it means that you have yet to reach that level of art that leaves behind the old approaches of virtue – translated through the acts of desire and feeling. It means that you haven’t added to the dominant trait of your character the innovative component, but unbearable, disclosed through "Inside in the dark I’m aching to be free."

Continue to see beyond, where everyone else tires to try and find answer within them and outside of them. And even if in everything you discover something empty remains, hidden, you must have the power to continue to develop the coloring of a higher reason that will justify your reforming character, with the risk of exceeding the crowd’s possibilities of understanding: "The Show Must Go On."

You will be able to turn leadership into an abstract art if you become an effect in the case of the forces of art exerted between the tides of content changes, aiming at those combinations between certainties and uncertainties, between your own sources of producing innovation and sources borrowed from the process of a thinking that turns reality into a type of show – a "dream world."

The founder of analytical psychology, Carl Gustav Jung, highlights the driving force of this show in a game of interpretations and harmonization of the being with the dynamic, eternally new nature of the symbol: “When the spirit undertakes the exploration of a symbol, he is led to ideas that lie beyond what our reason can sense and, precisely because there are countless things that lie beyond the bounds of human understanding, we constantly use symbolic terms to present concepts that we can neither define nor fully understand.”

The work of interpreting a masterpiece such as “The Show Must Go On” aims to explore a symbol of change, escape from reality, acceptance of the future in the dynamics of endless associations of video and audio techniques, through an imperative of the universe: “I can’t even die. It would ruin my image.”

The Show Must Go On is the fundamental concept of an artistic composition where unity and diversity are chained on the principle of conincidentia oppositorum, but at the same time, surpassing the indicative lines of a self eager to live in the present, in a single world, in a single reality.
