Leadership Magic by Neculai Fantanaru

Reshape yourself by cultivating a fertile ground for self-reflection, allowing a clear boundary to form between your authentic self and the constraints of your limited perception.

I felt that I wanted to live for a new version of fantasy that vibrated within me, enticing by the tendency to find myself everywhere and nowhere, experiencing the experience of a character I could not detach myself from. A shadow, like Casper - the Friendly Ghost - that must destroy the haunting spirits emerging from the underground to stop the mission. It is an art to know how to integrate yourself into the setting of space-time circumscribed to the undetermined, fantastic reality by promoting closer cooperation between the artist and his creation.

This joyous, seamless, appealing desire through the suspense and mystery that only stories know to convey, I myself being in the skin of the one beyond the bounds of the acceptable, awakened within me when I first entered the secret universe of a thriller with a high epistemic complexity, maintained by the weight of first-class fiction.

I had surpassed all my deeds, every desire that opposed me, every dream, every moment that fed my life’s purpose. The intensity of the experience of processing the invisible, dominating any Ars combinatorial, I favored the founding document of the new realism in a long-awaited "next episode."

Could the 'underground' you are developing be brought to light by introducing a perspective of finality, resulting from external monitoring?

The imperious motivation to become aware of contexts of disappearance from reality and integration into the atypical décor of a space-time, from other angles of approach to my complexities, might have colored the feeling that I found myself in a certain sense: I myself was my own creation.

Let us recall what Lamartiniere surrendered to King Louis XV, examining his joy and suffering, trying to find a remedy, a means of defending boredom:

- Sire, take heed of what I am telling you now. There once was a very intelligent king named Sardanapal, as clever as yourself, your Majesty, though he lived about two thousand eight hundred years before her. He liked life and took care to use it well. I know that he has thoroughly sought the means to train the body and the spirit in discovering the pleasures of the lesser known. These have led to only one result: total transformation.

There was but one type of pleasure Sardanapal had not experienced, and he left it for the very end: the pleasure of burning at the stake with his riches. This too is a form of extinction.

The 'underground' an individual develops is like the portrayal of a scene from their life within a panoramic representation: first, you must blend the nuance of your own creation into an action story with legendary heroes, then monitor the main sequences and key elements through the lens of a secondary gaze, which perceives things from the most unusual perspectives.

Can you build your persona as a response to the question, 'how have you discovered yourself within your own creation,' ensuring you never mistake the persona for your true essence?

Mystery and suspense, taken to extremes, create the feeling that you are losing everything in an interesting story, disconnecting from the real world. But you must know the limits of mystery and suspense.

Leadership, according to the saying "No man attended the courses of the art of living until he was tempted by the whims of their misunderstandings", consists in combining, if possible, those thinking styles and ideas necessary to create a fertile area of self-analysis from which results the clear difference between what is authentic and what we perceive in a limited way.

Socrates said the secret of change is to focus all your energy not on the struggle with what is old, but on building the new. Reformulating and completing, we can say that leadership is a product of the background in which all attempts to find yourself in someone else are incorporated in order to reject or accept yourself to find out the unknowns in the equation of novelty.

Can you preserve your self-mastery when an internal calling provokes you to transcend the limits of simple sight and reach for the zenith of a holistic vision?

Every person seeks transformation, in one way or another, and finds it in places they never could have imagined. To observe the animation of the painting called life from a hidden vantage point, one constructs an identity within an imaginary world—drawn from films or books—as a remedy for the boredom of remaining within the perimeter of the ordinary. Ultimately, leadership is not about seeing the world as it is, but about having the courage to inhabit the world you’ve dreamed of, until it becomes visible to others as well.

Often the personality of a leader is built as a response to the question "in which way have you captured yourself in your own creation?", containing a description of the values of an inverted image of his being, from which the sense of belonging to another story, to another present and future can be born to another character.

The creation from which human existence is fashioned demands a concentration of thoughts, intentions, and sensations in an apparently random direction—yet one that is unique in the expressiveness with which it communicates the imminence of a revelation, received as 'breaking news' by those capable of deciphering it.

Total Transformation is the consequence of exceeding the boundaries of the acceptable, through your "disappearance" and your placing within a real that can represent the promise of a different type of reunion with yourself.

Always in the steps of your own searches and training you will be driven by the "shadow" vector of the character you cannot detach yourself from.
