Who am I
My name is Daniel Rubin and I'm a polymath. I'm an artist, photo artist, graphic designer, composer and multi-instrumentalist, musicologist, music teacher, writer, poet, philosopher, chef, herbologist and freerider. I work as a graphic designer, but I could make a decent biologist, archeologist, historian, linguist, translator, teacher, lecturer, interior designer or farmer. Generally speaking I'm an esthete, lover of beaty and seeker of truth.
Why it's relevant?
If you know which type I am and how I relate to things, then you can see if my views and intentions are true.
When I was a teenager, I thought that I'm a genius and was full of pride. I thought that talent was there to work less. (Actually, talent is a great base to start working hard) Although fame, success or money never interested me, I didn't know what to do with my art and my egoism was choking me as well. As I was unsuccessful in love all my life, the question always remained: what to do with myself. When I got to a decent level in Hindustani classical, I realised that it's literally refreshing, calming and healing - if you make it right. So instead of thinking about a musician "carreer", I started to think about simply getting this gift to the people. Now this is the difficult part for me. Because worldwide, if there is a scene, then there is a maffia which rules it. It's based on connections and not talent. So finding the platform/channel is extremely difficult, and hard to get to those, who need it. If you're alone, you're weak and can't attract audience. Being at the mercy of owners of places or organisers is ugly, as you have to agree to things you may not like.
The turning point
I always knew, that I'm and old soul (one, who has been reincarnating here for thousands of years). Proof to that is my knowledge of that type, when you "just know" things and have no idea where it comes from. Also, abilities and talent comes from previous lifes' experiences. So for me it's crystal clear that we are here to evolve. Despite this true and valuable knowledge, I felt stuck totally, until I read an article, which pointed out, that if we want to progress, we must let go our ego totally and start being in service of others - which was always the farthest thing for me. Although I'm already on that path (appeared for free, sharing recordings and visual art for free) I always feel that it's not enough. Of course, "Be who you are. Do what you can." is very true, also "What you seeking is seeking you". The latter means that those who seek answers, will meet someone who will deliver them. First I was in that situation, when I met my mentor and he explained everything about everything. Now I'm on the other side, I want to contribute. In the past I helped people with advice, ideas, recommended things. And now I try to do the same: to bring light to people's life, to give them exactly what they are looking for. I am not important, more important what I can do (for others). It's time, people start to wake up and realise that life is about helping and sharing.
What's my goal
I'm making efforts to promote truth, reason, common sense, logic and beauty. I will go against anything that is unhuman, based on lies, myths or disinformation.
Support me/hire me
I wish I could dedicate myself to art, what I was born for, but regretfully must make a living, and it takes a lot of time and energy. I feel my time is wasted and I could do much more significant things. I don't give up, and hope one day I will succeed.
If you think that my deed is noble, then I would be happy for any support.
