If you know anything about true art or mysticism, you will know that both are synonyms for a life-long research and devotion to beauty. There is no way to make a child or a lay man “mentally” appreciate a perfect glass of wine or a tea spoon of perfect honey that is from the best organic lands, since they yet do not have training and patience necessary to comprehend the complexity behind its making. This is why there is no money in true art. It is our Kings, Governments and Churches that have in the past sponsored true art praying their fame will stay with us for eternity.
Following our drive for goodness and consciousness manifestations, we are 100% sure that if we follow the Role Models our lives will flourish
Humanity has developed a strong forceful urge to follow the best in the class: the best of scientists, the best of educators, the best of ancestors, the best of the religious followers, Gurus – an Indian man would tell you. Abusing this noble urge many Kings, read: Churches have offered us (Humanity) a number of lunatics to follow confusing them with “Saints”, so our kids will go into wars while they were able to use “killing” as a hypnosis tool with the best of our youths.
Acting as behavioral models, the role models do influence our goal setting and represent the highest potent posibility within our lives. Within our minds they create an inspirational force that influences us thoughout our journey, increasing our motivational drive.
Manipulating our drive towards goodness, towards the Role Models, now we have our children following Pop Stars, Actors and TV personalities, whose job is presenting oneself in the most likeable of ways. If the most likeable way is rebellion, they shall give you rebellion, if the most likeable way is truthfulness (God bless the likes of John Oliver, whose opinion I deeply respect) they shall give you truthfulness.
If we consciously understand this huge drive to follow Role Models, we will be following the likes of Socrates, Plato, Yogananda, Pythagoras, Rumi, Dante, Giordanno Bruno, Bach, Nikola Tesla, Leonardo da Vinci, Patanjali, Leo Tolstoy, Jung, Sri Aurobindo Lao Tzu and St Teresa but following their lives was at times hugely difficult
