“Unveiling the Ortist: A Journey to Self-Discovery and Creative Expression”
From the outset, my desire has been to genuinely assist others in their pursuits along their life’s path. This intent sharpened my awareness of the diverse nature of people, eventually leading to the development of an innate intuition. This intuition allowed me to perceive thoughts and anticipate the best ways to engage with individuals.
Initially, I often disregarded my instincts, choosing to test whether I could be proven wrong. Over time, this process deepened my self-understanding, based on how people decided to be, or in many cases, how circumstances directed them. Most people often didn’t actively choose their paths but faced life’s challenges head-on, often without considering the broader implications, including the effects on those around them.
Observing, or rather feeling, the emotional responses of others offered me a unique perspective. It allowed me to differentiate, to an extent, when and to what degree I should care based on the conscious and unconscious decisions formed within my mental framework.
I came to the profound realization that true happiness, the ultimate goal in life, is synonymous with self-control, self-awareness, and self-sufficiency, tailored to each person’s unique needs, influenced by myriad factors we all must eventually contemplate. Ultimately, this introspection led me to ponder my own identity and whether I had truly played a conscious role in shaping it or merely allowed external factors to dominate my sense of self.
I used to dart across the metaphorical yard, navigating the corners of life’s situations, oblivious to how my actions impacted the “gardens” of others. I failed to appreciate the efforts invested in nurturing those gardens and the joy and sense of accomplishment it brought to the “gardeners” and landowners. These experiences were beyond my grasp at the time.
My ambitions differed markedly from my peers as I yearned to fit in enough to attain what I believed I needed, fearing an existence I dreaded. I was so preoccupied with fear during my formative years that I became afraid of being afraid itself. My fears began shifting, evolving from the profound fear of eternal damnation to the realization that the mind, when focused and resolute, can shape one’s course.
I delved into the depths of falsehoods surrounding concepts of heaven, hell, and the Bible. This quest led me to discover the power of the mind, resolute and goal-oriented. I embarked on a journey to understand who I truly was, seeking answers and direction that life’s circumstances had not provided. I began constructing my identity based on logical observations of people I encountered along the way.
I often say that mastering darkness, truly understanding it, propels us toward the light. As I sought self-discovery and the means to assist others on their journeys, I chose to become what I now refer to as an “Ortist” - a name I’ve earned through my actions and realizations.
As I progressed in mastering my understanding of darkness, I felt compelled to share my perspectives with those who had faced similar questions and life trials. However, I found that merely talking to people, while natural for me, was insufficient. Effective communication necessitates speaking not only in language but in the language of the heart and mind. It involves resonating with individuals at deeper levels.
Living a fulfilling life, I learned, requires balance across various dimensions: mental, spiritual, physical, emotional, and social. Achieving this equilibrium hinges on financial stability - a component often disregarded or underestimated. In this world, financial wealth is a key to influencing others’ emotional responses, a tool for catalyzing sound thinking.
However, financial success alone can’t ensure lasting happiness or a fulfilling life. To truly master life’s game, one must excel in the realm of thought, fostering conscious thinking. This notion gave birth to my motto: “Think First - Say Less - Do More.” This mantra resonates with those seeking meaningful, purposeful lives.
Becoming an Ortist involves recognizing the immense power of thoughts and ideas, understanding their potential to shape and transform the world. My journey led me to write my first book, exposing the truths and systems that underlie our existence. But writing wasn’t the destination; it was merely a stepping stone towards a greater purpose.
Intrigued by fashion and aesthetics, I dreamt of creating my own fashionable attire, outfits that expressed creativity and inspired admiration. This desire to stand out, though present since childhood, remained largely dormant. It wasn’t until later in life that I realized I could achieve greatness and express myself fully.
My grandmother, a remarkable woman with only a seventh-grade education, inspired me with her ability to create, design, and sew. She tackled any challenge, from sewing clothes for her eight children to building rooms onto her house. Despite her talents, I initially failed to recognize the skills she had passed on to me.
Life pushed me toward my Ortistic self, but I resisted, attempting to fit into the mold of those around me. I dabbled in various pursuits, searching for my true purpose, and occasionally achieving excellence, even though my heart wasn’t fully invested. My inner quest, however, continued, and I grappled with questions about life’s truths and our treatment of one another.
Over time, I understood that marketing was essential if I wanted my ideas to resonate with a wider audience. While many marketing efforts relied on deception, I believed
in an honest and authentic approach. I was wary of misleading tactics and clickbait schemes that wasted people’s time and money. My principles demanded a different path, one that took longer but resonated with integrity.
People’s materialistic tendencies led me to develop an eye for fashion, not just any fashion, but what I personally deemed stylish and aesthetically pleasing. I aspired to create my fashion brands, envisioning outfits that went beyond mere clothing, making a statement about creativity and individuality.
I even considered attending fashion design schools, although I often hesitated and only attended briefly. I watched my grandmother’s artistic talents with awe but rarely sought to learn from her, thinking I should excel immediately without realizing the time and effort required to truly master a craft.
Life’s twists and turns kept pushing me towards my Ortistic self, while I resisted, sometimes choosing conventional paths like being involved in various jobs, relationships, and experiences that didn’t align with my true calling. The pursuit of authenticity and wisdom continued to simmer within me.
I knew that to fulfill my destiny, I had to find my roots, nourish my talents, and fully embrace my Ortistic identity. Recent events, which some might label as tragic, were, in reality, my thoughts and desires realigning my path, a necessary transformation. These experiences prompted me to revisit my fashion design ideas, recognizing the potential for my creative expressions to resonate not just in clothing but also as timeless art.
This is why I identify as an Ortist. My journey is more extensive than I can convey here, but I hope this narrative captures the essence, heavy enough to leave an impression and light enough to carry with you. Until next time, as there will undoubtedly be a next time, I’ll continue to explore, express, and evolve.
