Eternal Creations (A Series of Tweets)

A few reflections on the creative process.

Loneliness is a fundamental part of the human condition, and I’ve never expected others to solve it for me, knowing full well that no one truly can. Having been alone for over two decades, I learned long ago how to entertain myself, generating all my own energy and being completely self-sufficient. The freest and most powerful individuals aren’t those who never feel lonely, but rather those who embrace solitude and befriend it.

Then there’s another kind of loneliness, one from the depths of the cosmos, which I never want to experience again in this lifetime. I’ve only felt it once, and ever since, all I’ve wanted is to be closer to people, ever closer. Thankfully, I know I won’t encounter that moment again. That time is forever etched into a specific timeline, and for me, it, too, is a form of eternity.

Both real and unreal, like a dream, yet an illusion. Electrical signals traverse complex, interwoven neural pathways. Every time we recall the past, we often subtly alter certain memories, gradually reshaping our brains in the process. We actually perceive our past existence through our memories. So, are our past selves truly frozen forever in history? Likely not. They, along with our current selves, continue to breathe, simultaneously, across all spaces and dimensions.

Struggle is eternal, resistance is eternal, and difficulties are an ever-present reality. Thus, fluctuations in our state are entirely normal. Growth also implies moments of partial fragmentation and rebirth. Only death, or a complete refusal to grow, can ever bring lasting peace.

I consider my life a journey dedicated to seeking beauty: magnificent ultimate theories, admirable personalities, breathtaking landscapes, delicious food… The beauty found in fleeting moments and eternal truths, in the ordinary and the extraordinary, in reality and illusion, in good and evil, in surrender and defiance. If I can’t find it, I’ll sculpt myself and create my own works. I am an observer, an appreciator, and a creator.

While a large segment of humanity is passionate about passing on their biological DNA, a smaller group seeks to transmit the DNA of their soul. Creation is, for them, the path to immortality. Our creations are more enduring than our physical bodies.
