Aesthetics of Being and Creativity

Every man is two; practical and imagined. They collaborate to make you famous or infamous.  In the practical man, you have things like ‘this man/the man/that man/other man’.  In the imagined man, you have something like innerman, which is the opposite of the outerman.  The innerman processes images for the outerman to act upon.

One who is his true self is one whose innerman binds with the outerman in a genuine concordance to produce actions.  What you do when nobody is watching is your true self.  In regeneration, this trait is brought to bear as a major impulse that initiates actions of an adherent in the process.  Regenerative ideals should be wholly assimilated according to plan to tailor the innerman towards contemplative viability and make the outerman conform adequately.  What was assimilated should be the product of a collective will of adherents.

Man often derails from his tracks because he ignores the innerman’s calls, taking refuge in forces outside it; unviable forces that are other men’s personal sentiments like political, religious and ethnic considerations.  Had those other men’s sentiments been products of collectivity, quality of result would have been enhanced with higher value at completion.  In collectivism, risk bearing is small.

In individualism, risk bearing is high.  This is often because love is dry among men.  Love is a control mechanism regulating man and his actions.  People deceive themselves with belief in individualism claiming the world has helplessly gone that way.  This is misplaced.  It is responsible for the gradual warming of the heart.  When individualism falls, man resorts to lying or cheating or pretending to regain a smeared prestige.  In collectivism, the journey is short.

In individualism, the journey is long and tedious.  Some attributes of the outerman that dictate man’s movements or directions are the powerful demand on him to listen to forces beamed by the sensory mechanism of seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting while the innerman responds to the superior voices in the unseen realms which are often translated in spiritual circles as of God – good, and of the devil – bad.  Man himself rates the ultimate values of his actions in good or bad.  It is worthy of note that these two elements work through the innerman to the outerman.

The outerman is the physical singer, painter, writer or the chairman, governor or president.  He is not creative.  He is a hawker or reporter of the innerman’s creative wares.  The innerman is the designer of the images portrayed by the outerman.  He is the processor of ideas into beautiful or ugly images transmitted concretely through the unit of human physiology for aestheticism.

Thus man can be potentially successful if he likes by agreeing to the immediate images beamed by the innerman or patiently retract his flaws through regeneration.  Any delay due to indecision leaves man susceptible to chances for forces influencing the outerman to encroach on one’s stability of choice.  Remember, the outerman’s forces are largely sentimental and selfish.  They love individualism and can conquer easily.

A writer can harness inner processes of himself and infused them into his work for quality judgement and for the innerman to overcome outerman in life by readers.  Majority of readers may not have the time and capacity to think deep but can read deep and reflect on such salient aesthetics of the inner being, recreated on pages for the society.

It is also the responsibility of a regenerative artist to compel growing children through reading programmes and activities to access them to good ideas; ideas that had perhaps made writers cherish loneliness, solitude for un-interruptive signals from the innerman; ideas that would recreate society based on aesthetic qualities and not primordial sentiments.

If a writer can recognise these processes, perhaps, he will reduce the largeness of his ego.  Perhaps, he would become more accommodating, remorseful, reasonable reflective, and trustworthy and be an admired symbol of love.  Perhaps, this is why some writers are modest, considerate and non-violent.  It must be understood that, each innerman possesses a peculiar worthy that is equally as valuable as the other.

What creates differences in them among men is simply the question of need or priority of the society.  Therefore, the feeling of importance by occupiers of so called higher status is a baseless feeling that should be controlled by man for others have what you don’t have waiting to be utilised tomorrow or some day.  Should he then be feeling so important too?
