Pointalism 

 

 

     Pointalism is a self-controlled way of being in which no one is followed or copied.  When you want to do something you point yourself at it and take your best shot.  If at first you don’t succeed, you try again.  The only failure is the failure to persist. 

 

     All of the abilities which a person may have, are yours by divine right.  Any ability which is exercised the proper amount will grow.  If it is underexercised or overexercised, it will atrophy. 

 

     We learn to swim in winter, and to skate in summer.  During the winter months, when it is too cold to swim, the subconscious mind continues to work on the problems of swimming, and the next summer we see that our ability has grown. 

 

     Similarly, during the sleep between incarnations, the subconscious mind continues to work at the problems of the abilities we have put effort into, and in a future life, that ability emerges as what is called talent.  All of talent is explained in this way.  When someone is born with it, we say he is gifted.  And it is a gift, but is a gift of God to each and every one of us.  We have only to exert the effort. 

 

     The notion that talent can be bartered, or bought and sold, is superstitious idiocy.  There is no royal road; there is only hard work. 

 

     The icons of Pointalism are Itsy Bitsy Spider, the Little Engine that Could, and the piece-of-work Dutch kid with his Finger in the Dike. 

 

     Another aspect of pointalism is demonstrated here.
