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? |
Can I pop in here?
Everyone has the potential to be "great." Everyone IS "great." Everyone IS "genius."
If they don't express it, it is because of a whole bunch of limiting beliefs. Their negativity is so thick they don't even have a clue as to what it is they could be great doing or being... they don't see the genius within.
I haven't read Power of Now, so I can't comment on that. But, I have read many other books from Deepak and Chopra to Neale Donald Walsch and others. They ALL point to how we have greatness IN us.. EVERYONE.
It is IN you, are you tapping into it? Are you allowing it to be? It is a limiting belief to say "some have it and some don't and if you don't show it by age X you obviously don't have it." I know this limiting belief well because my husband has it. He is not happy in life. He also tells me everyday, "There is nothing I can do now, It's too late." Okay. Then it is. Not for ME though. I am finding new "genius" within me on a steady basis! I have new inspirations and new drive like never before. I am choosing to tap into it now.
