Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin

NOTE

**Warriorship and Artistry **

The journey of creativity parallels warriorship, highlighting virtues such as courage, selflessness, patience, and a love for the opponent. These virtues are essential not only for warriors but also for artists, emphasizing that both disciplines require resilience against internal struggles. The creative process is likened to a war – an ongoing battle against resistance where every artist must embody the warrior's mindset. Concepts of military and artistry intertwine, with storytelling often reflecting themes of combat and struggle, thereby deepening the connection between the two. The creative work is viewed as an excavation of ideas, where initial sparks can signify the existence of deeper stories waiting to be explored and articulated. This analogy frames writing as a battle that artists must engage in daily, underscoring the holistic nature of warriorship and artistry in achieving creative expression.
