Saying so isn't a matter of ego. Its a matter of clarification.
Those vids of me on the Tik Tok site are from about three or four years ago. I look very different now and I am not an identity thief and I don't wear other people's identities to give the illusion that I possess certain qualities or skills that I don't truly have in real life. Most skills I express in writing I've studied in one form or another. Not all to expertise, but for most to a considerable degree, including various martial arts and music theory. I don't borrow anyone else's identity, though sometimes I pay tribute to people I very much admire.
Don't allow yourselves to be fooled by those people who take two people and attempt to make one person out of them, denying one of those two people their due in terms of their skills and life studies.
Cults that do that are a very big problem in society right now, and are the real reason that there's so much social turbulence fueled by impersonation and ego. There isn't only one writer in the world. There isn't only one quantum physicist in the world. There isn't only one piano player in the world or one guitar player. There isn't only one mind either. There's a multitude of people with all sorts of different skills and abilities enjoying their creative time. If you think that you're the only one, then the only person that you need to get over is yourself. I'm not remembering someone else's history or past, and cults like yours that put other people through that sort of absolute nonsense are the real problem right now.
If I was full of myself, then there'd be no credits on any of my story posts. The truth is that I spend most of my time giving thanks to the people that deserve it, not the people who seem to think that they're the only writers or piano players or programmers out there and that everything of that nature comes from them alone. My advice to people is to stay away from cults that feed you such crap, and go with people who liberate you from it. If one person can do it, take it as proof that you can do it, but the only way is if you do it. Practice it. Study it. Learn it.
Spend more time working on material and creating than trying to shoot down everyone else who are also creators with similar skills or talents as your own. Seriously, get over yourself.
Just because I added a video of Sharon Stone and John Malkovich to my Awesome Club playlist (a private playlist that I use to give praise to people that I admire, some of whom are not necessarily part of my professed belief system or life philosophy). Basically, the cult in question literally monitor everything of mine illegally (they are quite literally organized crime of a modern kind). So, because I added that particular video to my Awesome Club playlist, which depicts a scene between Sharon Stone (as herself) and John Malkovich (who plays a high ranking official in the Catholic Church), this cult assumes that because I'm an Atheist that leans toward Buddhism and Taoism, that I was being remotely controlled by someone Catholic (presumably) when I added that video to the playlist. Nope. I just added it because I admire Sharon Stone and John Malkovich, and thought it was a funny and very insightful gag between them, which was most likely unscripted and improv I'd be willing to bet. Just a great little story. Seriously, there are people so obsessed with my activities with regard to my playlists and what not, that they literally spy on everything that I do. No kidding. Organized crime all the way.
You don't have to be bald to pursue philosophies like Buddhism or Taoism, and anyone who tells you that you do, is probably only in it for the fashion. Look at Richard Gere and Sting. They both kept their hair, and stuck to their philosophy. I'm one foot on each side of black and white, and nobody has black skin and nobody has white skin and no two people have the exact same skin colour and that's the scientific truth. Don't let people push you into ideas or concepts that require you to not exist, while being the fuel for someone else who does exist. That idea is self effacing egotistical nonsense that is basically assuming that one person is the mind and talent for both people. That the other one has no mind or talent of their own. Or, that of two people with similar talents and abilities, that one of them should be erased and disregarded while the other gets the credit for the works of both. Basically a bastardization of gnostic ideas that are mostly founded in ignorance rather than any kind of truth or well being of humanity.
Thank you to my readers by the way, and to those who I give thanks in every story post and the charities that I promote. I'll be back soon with more new content, but I'll never credit people who have nothing to do with it, but I'll never forget those who contributed when I had nothing to give them but thanks. I'll post a more recent video of myself soon, both on Tik Tok and both of my YouTube channels (Shhhh! Digital Video and Shhhh! Digital Audio).
And thank you Tina. You're absolutely awesome along with my other mentors. Sincerely, thank you again from a real water sign (there's my blue) Scorpio by the way, without having to take it or borrow it from someone else. Stay away from cults that erase people. They're the biggest problem in the world right now. No disrespect but I'm not a taurus and I don't play guitar. I'm not a Mormon with all due respect, and never have been.
I'm mostly playing today, (some Eve Online) and probably will be doing some other gaming later on. Tomorrow, its back to work on Shhhh! Digital Media content for the rest of the month.
