The Muse Declaration of
Creative Independence and Freedom

by Royce Addington


The unanimous Declaration
of the Nine Modern Day Muses,

When, in the course of Creative Events,
It becomes necessary for one Creative to dissolve
Unhealthy Perfectionism, Creative Paralysis, Fear of Failure,
And Self-Sabotage which have disconnected them
From their Imagination, Inspiration and Expression ‚
The Creative must declare
The Causes which impel them to action.

We,
The Nine Modern Day Muses,
Hold these Truths to be self-evident,
That all Luminescent Souls are created equal,
That they are endowed, by their Imagination and Inspiration,
With certain unalienable Rights,
That among these are
Life, Liberty, and
The Pursuit of Creative Expression and Happiness.

That to secure these Rights,
Muses are directed to enlighten a Creative;
That whenever any Form of unhealthy Perfectionism, Paralysis,
Fear of Failure or Self-Sabotage becomes destructive of these Ends,
It is the Right of the Creative to alter or abolish it,
And to institute
New Awareness, Thinking, Rituals, Structures and Habits,
Laying the Foundation on such Principles,
And organizing its Powers in such Form,
As to them shall seem most likely to effect their
Creative Expression and Happiness.

Passion indeed, will dictate that Creatives long established,
Must embrace Change for Light and Illuminating Causes;
And accordingly,
It is a Creative's Right, it is their Duty,
To throw off all Shackles, and to provide new Guards for their
Future Creative Security, Expression and Happiness!

We, therefore,
The Nine Modern Day Muses of the Infinite Universe, Assembled,
Appealing to the Supreme Creative Spirit for the Rectitude of our Intentions,
Do, in the Name, and by the Authority of
The good and Gifted, solemnly Publish and Declare,
That all Creatives are, and of Right ought to be,
Free and Independent
,
That they are absolved from all unhealthy
Perfectionism, Paralysis, Fear of Failure and Self-Sabotage;
Creatives have full power to levy War against these enemies,
Conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce,
And to do all other Acts and Things
Which Independent Creatives may of right do.
We mutually pledge to each other
Our Lives, our Fortunes and our Sacred Honor!
