The key is for the act of creativity to be altruistic, that is, to be done for the benefit of another, for altruism is the key to true health. “Through this altruistic artistic endeavor,” says Dr. Diamond “your soul is at last content, for it has helped another soul. Your anguish is over.” In this way, a person’s last years may be the time of the greatest benefit to all. Above all, this talk offers a transformative and inspirational vision of the elderly, and their potential crucial role in society.Excerpts from this lecture: #1 https://www.lifeenergyarts.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Extract-1-12.wav#2 https://www.lifeenergyarts.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Extract-2-10.wav_____
