Unity, for the record, I'm not American. Another projection :¬)
I'll stop my participation in our discussion regarding compassion with you personally as it's become very repetitive, and I have nothing new to add. The notions are exceedingly simple.
We see things differently, perfect for our own state of being, and that's all there is to it :¬)
GLB - thank you so much for asking Jim about his intuitive feelings during the Ra contact. Invaluable and inspirational.
Eric - nice to see you here dear friend!
Monica - I agree, adults seldom realise the power they have over their children's development, and often say things unconsciously. Each person, especially young children, have quite literally infinite potential to be anything they dream of.
Your mother, if understanding this, could have said "Your heart sings when you sing? Well then, let's see what we can do!".
Your life would have been very different. Not necessarily better or worse, but the choices you made would have put you on a different path.
Regarding the picture: telling a child that it's "a piece of crap" is what I would call closed-minded. One has to appreciate the subjectivity of artwork and the beauty in expression of the self, regardless of technical ability. People often judge artwork using the left, analytical hemisphere, which often misses the point. Art and expression are predominantly of the right, creative hemisphere, and hence, using that aspect of one's self is the intended means of viewing (feeling, to be to the point).
