I have always admired Helen & Annie. Our life's work is with people who have disabilities, to help discover their unique abilities & capacity for life & love. How sad then to hear that Helen promoted abortion, taking the life of a pre-born child who is not "perfect" or convenient. I hope that Helen came to realize this later in life.
I can't help but Wonder are ideas about the world situation may have not been all her own she probably was Heavy influenced by Sullivan herself parrot it may have been Sullivan speaking through Helen Keller
This is rediculous! She wasn’t completely blind( legally blind… not 100% blind) and she wasn’t completely fully 100% deaf either. It’s obvious if u watch more footage of her. Her teacher Ann was the real genius and hero of her story.. such a shame she wasn’t also awarded the Nobel prize
Excellent documentary!!! Read much of her poems, but far from comprehensively so. Many have read loved, & quite a few dark, naturally. Anyway, all valuable still.
We are from right next to Cambridge, but grew up in area. Our Greek yia yia grew up in Cambridge 20's-30's & then our dad his basically first real girlfriend worked at Perkins school! I didn't know Helen Keller & Annie came here. Just down the street in Medford where our other parents & grandparents were raised & where Amelia Earhart grew up, after her success they had a parade for her there. But yeah, I guess everyone originally traveled from this direction.😅...Also the Medford mentioned above thats where Black Dahlia came from.
This is amazing she had a hard time communicate with others so good the teacher is so good at teaching Helen Keller never gave up!! So good even though she was so naughty
She was agoraphobic. Dealin with men as a writer could be frightening. She preferred to write than be a wife and mother. Bi curious too. No, that was Virginia Woolf. Could be Dickenson too. The archtype is introvert.
Our times, so concerned about gender issues, are probably unable to see a friendship between two women without sexualizing it. From my point of view, her poetry stands by itself, independently of what sexual orientation she had. Because our generation is incapable of reading any literature without carving for sexual issues on the part of the writer, it is so impoverished, restricted, and shallow. Poor Emily 😢
This is the first time ever seen a a video of Helen Keller. I love the movie with Patty Duke. When I look at the Helen Keller's face I say she is actually beautiful and she doesn't know it. Inner soul is absolutely radiant
Now she knows it .Helen keller can see now and hear too .She is delivered of her handicaps once for all.She is in heaven wirh her mother, dad Sister and brother and her friends..and Annie sullivan.
@@severinefisteberg8893 yes she can see now if you can hear and she can speak now, Helen Keller's life is a testimony of how God can use people to show his strength and it encourages all of us, I'm sure that our heavenly father and Lord Jesus said to Helen Keller when she entered into heaven Oh, Well done thy good and faithful servant! Helen Keller was a real trooper and an instrument of God!
When the learned men wrote the Declaration of Independence the part about equality was meant for rich white men who owned property. Let’s stop giving them credit as visionaries who foresaw the Black man being more than slaves. If true equality was their intention, the document would have been written along the lines of the current EEOC guidelines.
Helen Keller and her beloved teacher Annie are two of my heroes! Miss Sullivan was a remarkable woman who loved Helen like her own.After such a hard childhood the true courage of Annie is amazing! The love between them was so special!
Some information I didn't know in this video. I didn't know she was multilingual. Also, I didn't know she wrote more than one book. I have a delightful photo of Helen with Eisenhower. He's grinning, and her hand is on his face. Her death in June of 1968 was overshadowed by Robert Kennedy's assassination.
The genetic code origins of feminism can be found in the Genesis source code of our cultural operating system. Spiritually speaking (gender aside), feminine and masculine wisdom can begin with a fundamental understanding of the cyclical nature of reality (God). Represented by the snake in many creation myths, the living cycle has a trinity of a beginning (head), a middle and end (tail). As above so below, the sexes were created in the image of God's cyclical nature where Mother is the head and opening to all beginnings and Father holds the tail to all endings (through which the sowing of seeds allow for the next great matriarchal rebirth).The joining of the two (symbolized by the Ouroborus or the marriage ring) is the sacred union needed in assuring the creation and continuation of new life cycles. To speak of the present day God as "Our Father" is simply an admission to our collective positioning within the bigger cycle. As all mothers have direct experience with the creator quality of birthing, so is the direct experience of rebirthing the divinity within (baptism) belong to that which is spiritually matriarchal. (John 3, verse 3-8). Sekhmet statues (ancient Egyptian) carry most of their weight in symbolic memory of what was a mother culture dedicated to the direct experience of baptism. As the leg shaped hairlocks extend from maternal breasts to the womb of rebirth, the lioness's head proportions are such that they highlight the bust of a second animal figure. The Lioness's ears as eyes and eyes as nose (nostrils) brings to life the figure of a reptile. 'Neath the halo headress of the solar egg, the lioness's egg fertilization process being internal (Set) and the reptile's egg fertilization process being external (Setting), such being key components to the safety of entering the trans-egoic or "born again" state. The life threatening fear associated with the predatory nature of a lion and/or crocodile encounter are reflective of the intense ego death experiences associated with the transpersonal awakening process. In spiritually matriarchal times, illumination could be seen as wearing the false beard (ancient Egyptian funerary "ego" death mask) as the high state of cyclical self knowing; high awareness of both our upper matriarchal half and our lower (later) patriarchal half (compared with a mini lower body replica, an "as above so below" tail end beard extension); in full recognition of her civilizational Underworld; her inevitable cyclical destiny. The male pharaoh wears his beard tapered in reverse, indicating a pointing upwards towards the patriarchal head, divine representative of God's tail end cycle. Mary's anointing and wiping of Jesus's feet with her hair can then be seen as "Head to tail" (toe) imagery as she descends her matriarchal head to his patriarchal feet, thus reenacting the high understanding of the divine cyclical process. (John 12, verse 3) To carry the Ankh was perhaps to symbolically carry that upper and lower understanding. As the upper matriarchal womb symbolised the fertile birthing of civilization, below, the now Christian cross is carried to place emphasis on the lower (later) "End Times" Father principle of the great cycle. Lord Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu diety, displays a cyclical head to trunk symbolism and points to the Mother head of his matriarchal elephant society. In plain sight, Ganesha (like the elephant) wears God's cyclical nature on his face. A whole temple was dedicated to the ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor, who is the matriarchal "Uterus" personified. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J0m0zJSEFK0.html "See all women as mothers, serve them as your mother. when you see the entire world as the mother, the ego falls away. See everything as Mother and you will know God." - Neem Karoli Baba
