# The Hidden Power of Our Secret Worlds: A Journey Within
Written on
The Essence of Our Inner Realms
The concept of having a personal secret world may seem straightforward, yet it can be elusive and easily misinterpreted. I have found that my inner worlds have been a sanctuary during challenging times, helping me navigate through the most difficult situations. Nevertheless, articulating these worlds to others is often a struggle for me.
Are There Many or Just One?
Firstly, the question arises: is it a singular world or multiple ones? In my view, it could be as numerous as one requires. I have previously discussed the importance of consistency and coherence within these realms. They must resonate as genuine in our minds. Whether we immerse ourselves in a narrative or simply inhabit these spaces, crafting a world necessitates rules and a sense of causality. Although one might possess several secret worlds, each must follow its own principles, similar to how different universes adhere to their own patterns.
Creating in Our Own Image
The process of envisioning and constructing our secret worlds can range from the seemingly trivial—like pondering during a stroll home or just before sleep—to documenting these worlds as fictional works accessible to others. Publicizing our secret world does not strip it of its hidden essence; it merely presents a representation, a version of the existence that inspired it. This shared version might transform into someone else's secret world or contribute to the genesis of new worlds in equally imaginative minds.
The Artistic Cycle
Art indeed begets art. The industrial realm has attempted to regulate creativity (similar to its ongoing efforts to control the Internet, but that’s a topic for another discussion) through peculiar notions like intellectual property, which are often more beneficial to the industry than to the creators. While we cannot freely publish derivative works without facing legal repercussions, any creation we share is inevitably influenced by countless predecessors. The law draws a line between plagiarism and inspiration, but such boundaries are often subjective. Secret worlds operate outside of these legal constraints, which is precisely why they remain concealed and enigmatic.
Nurturing Our Sanctuary
When we dedicate moments from our hectic schedules to enjoy specific shows or films, read books, or wander aimlessly, we are nurturing our secret worlds. This practice should never evoke guilt. We are caring for our lifelines. Society often pressures us to either be perpetually productive or to indulge excessively—it's a constant tug-of-war. However, our minds may be the most significant aspect of our existence that we can actively influence.
Ultimately, when the external world crumbles, it is our secret worlds that endure. They may serve as essential lifelines, reminding us not to undervalue their significance.
