Why I use a stagename?

Stagenames are not uncommon


When you start to act, sometimes you will need a stagename. When you start to write I use a stagename. Most often this is because the stagename has something to offer. I heard that when asked why he used Eminem, he said, it is because he cannot use M&M the famous brand. And if you spell M&M it will just sound Eminem.


Graffiti on a brick wall reads "WORDS DON’T MEAN ANYTHING TODAY." Two people walk by. Black and white urban setting, gritty mood.

Often we are involved in these roles of fictional characters, when we create or act. And the roles these actors take doesn't always tally with their character. Sometimes it is exaggeration of reality. Sometimes it is not the person you really are. Maybe it is a vilian you are playing. Imagine Anton Chigurh from no country for old men. When Javiar Bardem, did play the role, he had to become the brutal fictional charactor that I would not even dare to perform at any point in my life. Not even for a film. I would not even write such a charactor in even a novel, if I wrote one one day. Totally totally off the population norms. So, it is Good that everyone knows Javiar Bardem that he is not a villian when he is walking alone in the Red carpet. I am sure he would like to keep the Anton Chigurh out of his normal live at any cost, and that is the role of a stage name.


Seekers of truth


But Still there is a reason I use a stage name. And that is because I talk about truth. Truth is ugly and sometimes even offensive. This is why most of the time we avoid truth and chose to live in a dream. We chose to live in a dream about future and we used to dream about past. We even chose to dream about a dream about present. We like to see a beautiful flower or a serine sunset, and appriciate all the good things about it.


We share more if we write about how to achieve happiness in one two or seven steps. Or if I told you how mindfulness makes you wiser and prospect in our job, I could sell more copies of my book. Nobody would even touch that download button if I start speaking the truth. If I say reality is just a dream, nobody would dare to read beyond. And Only few brave seekers of the truth will dare to test deep waters, even if they risk getting drowned and dead. The question is are you that seeker? If you are this blog is all about you. I do not mind writing things for one person in a billion population. One like mind is enough, one heart battered by all the knots of life is enough. If I can talk about truth disguised in my stage name, One listener is good enough for Magical Mindful Living to keep pushing. As I know I am as selfish as any other being on the planet, which is another ugly truth.



Why I use a stagename?


Behind my stagename, I do not have to hide my selfishness. I can take a risk of offending you, the reader, to seek the truth. I can push mine and your imagination so we, can discuss things like jelousy anger and demons in our thoughts, who had been haunting me, like any other. We can empathise about a man who was forgotten by the society and hung himself twenty years ago. So, Like Eminum did sing about one shot and one opportunity, I risk everything behind the stagename so I could change the course of some atoms in this floating universe, as in a millania, there would be plenty of souls saved by those ripples I create today like a butterfly creates a hurricanes a dacade later, by flapping its wings.


I am doing it while appearing a normal, middle class, working being. It is not a big risk like a surgeon would take while cutting onto tissues of an unconsciouss man. It is not a big risk like Captain Sully took when he landed his plane in Hudson river. Nonetheless it is a risk. It is a risk than all the years of silence in my past. I just obeserved life until I understood enough, until I am sure of what I am talking about, until I am wise enough to talk without being offended too much from the currupted illusive society. And for seekers of truth like Jordan Peterson, it is a risk. Talking truth is a necessary risk. So, I do not mind you chosing the same. I do not mind you reading this article and carry its message in silence and work as normal human being from tomorrow. I do not mind you sending annonymous message offending me. As my stagename "Magical Mindful Living" is the firewall for my operating system.

The first time I used a pen/stage name it was to write a humor article about some absurd everyday practices while keeping the identities of the people engaging in these practices hidden, so as not to cause them unintentional hurt feelings.

Can life be more than one thing?

I thought it is like a Turing machine.

It doesn't sound humorous at all, instead it sound philosophical.


BTW Nathan fielder was your stage name?
