Absolutely! I agree with you. After a certain time in our lives, circumstances permitting, we can create ourselves. The problem, if there's a problem, lies with our paying far too much attention to what others may say. As you pointed out, mostly, external creation leads to self-creation.
Awesome response. The poem Wasteland poem was also written shortly after the ending of World War I and there were many areas that looked like wasteland so it's an effective reminder of what man is capable of doing. Also in earlier times when battles were more dependent on good weather typically April the troops would stir after their winter encampments and begin fighting again. Another sad reminder of man's creating wasteland and burials of the dead.
In Japan I saw very old trees. In the USA trees are not always valued for their "inner spirit" nor the joy they give others. One tree I saw in Takayama was 800+ years old. Americans cannot fathom that.
Not only do you summarize one of Chaplin's movies - City Lights (and I do believe the flower girl was blind) - but you manage to weave in Chaplin's life story and why 'The Tramp' was created in the first place.
He came from nothing and became such an icon, all while showing the world that you did not have to lose your humanity in the process.
Thanks for joining me in celebrating Charlie Chaplin's 136th birthday with your tribute!
Yes, I agree. Fascist/autocratic/theocratic states in Russia and the USA will force Europe and Canada into a partnership that may benefit the world. May they be the light going forward.
WHERE DO WE GO AFTER DEATH? *Heart* You won't be free, you will go with your unconscious habit patterns... That is the vehicle for the individual jiva... Your unconscious mind will stay with you... You will remain an individual because you had a physical form and will continue to have an individual astral and casual vehicle that has been formed by your habit patterns, impressions, desires, and motivations... One individual's habits are not like the habits of any other... You are different, not because of different thinking, but because of different behavior, different desires, motivations, impressions, and samskaras.... This is why it is important to be up and doing every day with satsang, service to mahatmas and meditation.... to develop spiritually liberating habit patterns...
