Creators
"Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: that the stop was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received - hatred. The great creators - the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors - stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered foolish. The airplane was considered impossible. The power of loom was considered vicious. Anesthesia was considered sinful. But the men of unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid. But they won.
No creator was prompted by a desire to serve his brothers, for his brothers rejected the gift he offered and that gift destroyed the slothful routine of their lives. His truth was his only motive. His own truth, and his own work to achieve it in his own way. A symphony, a book, an engine, a philosophy, an airplane or a building - that was his goal and his life. Not those who heard, read, operated, believed, flew or inhabited the thing he had created. The creation, not its users. The creation, not the not the benefits others derived from it. The creation which gave form to his truth. He held his truth above all things and against all men.
His vision, his strength, his courage came from his own spirit. A man's spirit, however, is his self. That entity which is his consciousness. To think, to feel, to judge, to act are functions of the ego.
The creators were not selfless. It is the whole secret of their power - that it was self-sufficient, self-motivated, self-generated. A first cause, a fount of energy, a life force, a Prime Mover. The creator served nothing and no one. He lived for himself.
And only by living for himself was he able to achieve the things which are the glory of mankind. Such is the nature of achievement.
The basic need of the creator is independence. The reasoning mind cannot work under any form of compulsion. It cannot be curbed, sacrificed or subordinated to any consideration whatsoever. It demands total independence in function and in motive. To a creator, all relations with men are a secondary.

This is an address to anyone who claims, they are for the rights of women. Long before my father threatened me to be with a muslim, had I been seeking legal help for justice. I never introduced my father to this Iranian muslim. Its bizarre, how this muslim found my father and contacted him.
This is the control and manipulation going on in America, that these muslims feel is acceptable behavior. I was screaming about this while Hillary Clinton was running for President and I was denounced. It shocked me that what I was claiming was not valid, only lies.
If this was not alarming to Hillary, the women's right advocates, and individuals who believe in Individual Rights, you know either they don't care, they would do anything to get a vote, they have been bought out, they truly did not understand, . . . whatever the thinking it was an error.
Whether an error by moral default, evasion, denial, the seriousness of the consequences could easily wipe out all the hard work that has taken place by rights advocates. I am telling you I am a independent woman and was threatened by a muslim like they do to women in the middle east.
To me that should have been a red light warning like what the f***! If this could happen to probably the most independent woman in America, it could happen to anyone. I'm not trying to get something I did not earn, nor deserve. I've been trying to get rid of an Islamic mother fu***r!
