I realised that the more powerful a concept or idea, the more resistance is against it. In fact, the most powerful ideas have the most powerful resistance. However, once we overcome the resistance, true freedom lies on the other side.
Every creator faces the resistance everyday. For me, my resistance is not to get out of bed and fall into a dreamless sleep and not wake up. Honestly, it takes me so much effort to get out of bed because my dreams are more beautiful than reality.
When I am confronted with the society and construct I live in, I fall into a deep depressive state. In true honesty, I hate my life. I hate myself as a chinese female. I hate everything I had accomplished and I had done. I hate myself in the mirror. I only live to make life better. I want to translate what I see in my dreams into the reality of the construct I live in.
In my dreams, humans of all races are wearing fetish gear and frolicking under the sun by rainbow rivers. There are angels and fairies. Animals live along side with humans. Humans had evolved to have no more dependence on monetary or materialistic needs. They only live to create art and partake in the quiet and simple pleasures of life by spending time with one another. This is my ideal of the world and this is what I want to create.
Hence the greatest resistance to myself is not to do anything or change the environment. This is the greatest evil, the Dark Force, whatever it is called. I have chosen to no longer give the resistance control over my life. The construct we live in is created by the power of language, and words are the medium. If we can create new ideas through words, we can potentially change the way we live. There can be an end to wars and suffering.
As such I had chosen to create my ideal version of the world into my current reality by taking steps to make it possible. Starting my Youtube channel was one of my moves, writing my novels was the next, writing this blog is also an act of propagating my visions. Everyone is entitled to their own visions. Other creators would like to create a MacDonalds or Starbucks. For me, I would like to create the Scarlet Queen to exist in this world. That’s my ultimate dream, and my ultimate reality that I want to conjoin as one.
This is freedom.
