So far Cantando, you're talking about great artist the ego role. Tolle is talking great artist as a way of Being. They are TOTALLY different. |
A great artist is a great artist, full stop/period. He/she may be gentle, shy and unassuming or he/she may be loud, aggressive and egotistical.
The point is - great artists have a spark of genius in them. If you don't already have that in you, no amount of visualizing or trying to be one, is going to make you great.
You talk about a great artist as a way of Being. What exactly do you mean? Can you 'be' a great artist without producing any works?
If a famous guru is broadcasting to the world and is supposedly telling the truth, then anything he says should hold up under scrutiny. Do you believe every word he says is the truth?
