This Universe in which this character of mine ‘Dream Maestro’ A.K.A ‘Dream’, and other enigmatic individuals and organisations live, they will be used as a place to tell fictional tales that often contain non-fictional content. These works of mine are designed to inspire thoughts and ignite a passionate, motivating fire that burns eternally within the reader’s heart chakra (This tranquil warmth can and will be felt physically and mentally. This will be discussed in greater detail later in my writings).

These writings are now firmly believed by me to be divinely channeled from a source of intelligence that is not ‘me*’, or not entirely me. Some of my writings from the past that I wrote out of complete boredom and loneliness inside of a prison cell, turned out to contain both wisdom and knowledge far beyond anything I ever knew. Some readers will find a way to explain this phenomenon I have experienced, with something along the lines of sub-conscious psychology, some will explain my experience using an entirely materialist supported theory, and some will not either require or seek explanations at all.

[ *How can I be sure if it’s not me from another dimension or something? I said not entirely me after that, because, I am being aware that this information may come from the collective human consciousness, which I am in fact a part of. I have also considered the possibility I may have been channeling an entity of some sort, Angel, Demon, Jinn, Ghost, Etc.. ]

I want you to interpret any of my creative works, in any way you wish, absorbing the content that affects you the most. When you find those words, and the sentences that strike your mind so sweet, so sweet in fact that it is like a kiss on the forehead from God. Listen, you will know you have found it because, whilst reading it you will suddenly feel an impulse to pause for a moment just to meditate on what you have just read.

Acknowledge these moments when they happen. Take an extra second or so to relish and understand this simple but often overlooked, beautiful miracle of our human intellect. Now, stay focused as your mind uses this written text as a catalyst to progress your mental evolution. By staying conscious, you will witness another miraculous ability of the human mind.

All the new insights you just formed during your time in thought will now merge with your current philosophy of the world. You are effectively updating your mind with new firmware every time you read a book or study a course. Whether the new custom firmware is better or worse, your mind has now been altered, it might have changed just a miniscule amount, but nonetheless it will have changed forever.

The reason that I hand the genre, definition, morality, validity, and meaning of my work to the audience, is because you are right now, the leading role of this human lifespan length movie that is your existence. These writings are for you, they are perceived by you, they will interact with you, and you will interact with them, they mean whatever you believe they will mean, and in the only world you truly know (Your own) these words of mine only exist if you notice them. It may exist in other people’s worlds, but you will never enter other people’s worlds, so it must be noticed in the only world that you will ever know, which is your own.

I am the author of these arbitrary writings, and in my world, things took a long time to get well, but on the flip side it appeared that it could all turn bad at the drop of a hat. I still shade my view of the world with this cloud, even though the facts of most situations over the last 2 years have changed. Now, life is good, but in the past, it was always when I was doing good that something bad would happen, so I am getting a spike in my anxiety levels when I feel like I have finally reached a happy point in my life (I often actually say this is the only time in my life that I have felt near to consistent happiness).

In my eyes, If I am honest, I picture one third of you judging me, trying to figure out what kind of weirdo writes like this, I also am assuming as I write this that you are studying every word as deeply as I am right now, and thinking how stupid my writing style is, even though most of you will most probably just scan over it, I picture these people not leaving me any advice, but only insults. The second, third, I picture in my mind as appreciating my writing, they like my creative spark and think that I bring something unique to the table, sure some of them have noticed a few things to criticize me on and a smaller part of this same group have found a great deal to criticize me on. The major difference is they are polite about it, and all the criticism is said in order to encourage my development and help me grow as a writer. Who you are, in my world, depends entirely on how I imagine you to be. You are not you in my world; you are my creation of what I think you are and imagine you to be.

In your mind, what have you made me into? Who have you made me into? Am I changing into a different person the more you read my work? Whoever you think that I am, that is not me. Its only your idea of me, that you have built up inside of your mind. You are using the information you have, which is my writing, and you are building an image, its probably very hazy but nonetheless an image, if you had a photo of me, my gender, or my age, you could make more judgments, and create me into some person you imagine me to be based on my size, hair, what I am wearing, etc. Then if you finally met me in real life you would drop most of what you guessed me to be like and trade it for the more tangible evidence that stand before you. Unless of course you thought some of your guesses were almost spot on. I am sure that you have met someone in person before and your initial thoughts of that person subsided, and were traded for new ones as you got to know them better. In the end they probably even ended up seeming to have a different appearance, sometimes a lot different to what your initial thoughts were. In the end though, another human from your individually experienced view of the world, will always be a creation of yours, they will always exist to you as an image your brain has generated using the information that it is provided with.

Creation is so amazing; to create is to play God in some respects. It would have to be one of the best feelings in the world otherwise why would God even do it. I am so excited to start writing stories in the universe of:

“The Dream-Maestro”

So the ‘Dream Maestro’ A.K.A ‘Dream’ is the protagonist of the story, but he opts to save the world in quite an unusual way compared to your typical super-hero. Dream takes on black magicians, psychopaths, energy vampires, Malevolent Jinn, Drug dealers, Gangster Rappers, Singers, Actors and cult leaders who are poisoning the human collective consciousness.

“Bitter S” is Dreams best friend and has lived with a curse since his early childhood. Dream, provided Bitter with knowledge of the curse (In which most part Bitter and his family had already assumed on their own) but nothing else can be said about it, besides that the curse is generational and it has prevented him or his family from ever truly succeeding at anything. The curse’s intention seems to be layered, as if it does not so much cause instant failure but wishes to inflict as much mental anguish as possible by using a pattern of building up, and then tearing back down. It will allow good fortune to build for some time. These seeming ‘lucky streaks’ only exist as a platform to increase the pain that Bitter, and his family will feel later, when that ever-approaching catastrophe dawns upon them again.

As I’m beginning with the end in mind. I intend to bring insight, humor, wisdom, foolishness, and whatever else as I re-edit and make something digestible from my erratic scribbles I drafted whilst in prison. My crime was non-violent and non-sexual and I feel no need to elaborate any further with that. The only reason I bring it up, is so that you are aware of the highly emotional and distressful state I was in whilst I came these ideas that you will eventually be reading.

Thank you so much for your precious, precious time.
