The Origin of Genius.
~"As a man thinks so is He..."~Hebrew Proverb
Origin of Genius
Compared with him who has tradition on his side, Trapped in the Matrix of Social Conditioning, and requires no reason for his actions, the Free Spirit is always weak, especially in actions; for he is aware of too many motives and points of view and therefore possesses an uncertain and unpracticed hand.
How does the Free Spirit become relatively strong, so that he shall at least make his way and not perish?
How does a Strong Spirit come into Being?
It’s kind of like … Someone who has completely lost his way in a forest but strives with uncommon energy to get out of it again sometimes discovers a new path which no one knows…
Or The way in which a prisoner, with the greatest desire to free himself, uses his wits in search for a means of escape, the most cold-blooded and tedious employment of every little advantage, are the instruments we will make use of that can teach us how to bring into existence…
Genius…
A word I ask you to be understood without any flavor of the Mythological, Metaphysical or Religious…
It is now a fact that a mutilation, crippling, a serious deficiency in an organ offers the occasion for an uncommonly successful development of another organ, the reason being that it has to discharge its own function but anothers as well.
That is how those Geniuses come about who are famed for originality.
It is in this way one can suppose that many a glittering talent to have originated.
He is called a Free Spirit who THINKS differently from what, on the basis of his Origin, Environment, his Class/Caste and Profession, or on the basis of the dominant views of the Age, would have been expected of him.
He is the Exception.
The fettered and conditioned spirits are the Rule...
Sometimes you have got to ignore what anyone else tells you about your purpose.
Your Genius is in your very Existence…Awaiting the right circumstances to express itself!
Each of us must seek to go beyond our resignations, cynicisms, fear, doubts and disbeliefs, and dare to remove any resistance to actualizing your Genius.
What characterizes the Free Spirit is not that his opinions are the more correct but that he has liberated himself from Tradition, whether the outcome has been successful or a failure. He will at least have the Spirit of Inquiry after Truth.
Your Truth. Your Personal Legend. Your Vision.
In the case of the knowledge of Truth the point is whether or not You possess it.
Not from what Motives you first sought it, or along what Paths you found it.
Demand Reason and Faith of Yourself.
If anyone wanted to Imagine a Genius of Culture, a Social Genius…what would he look like?
For some…things may sound a little shocking and controversial beyond this point, but please bear in mind that I am trying to the best of my ability to articulate and describe something that is hard to describe, and in the process trying to simplify a complex Paradigm for the Masses to get a glimpse of…
And trying to do so free of mythological, metaphysical/spiritual and religious vocabulary& terminologies…
Demand Reason and Faith of Yourself…not of others.
We have nothing to expect of anyone but ourselves…
You must recognize that… get what you get…
It is Only Your Own. It is what you added unto whatever was told you.
And with this in mind, let us explore further the attempt to describe the external appearances of a Social Genius…
~”Definition is Creation”~ Anthony Robbins
You Create…by the Simple act of Defining…
Let that sink in and bounce around for while…
This Social Genius…this great Man of the Masses possesses all the qualities of the Masses, thus are they all the less embarrassed in his presence, thus he is all the more popular.
It is sadly true that he is violent, envious, exploitative, scheming, fawning, cringing, arrogant…but in his defense…all really according to circumstance.
~“To deny our impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us human”~ Mouse to Neo
Going deeper down the “Rabbit hole” we could describe him also as being able to manipulate falsehood, force and the most ruthless self-interests as his instruments so skillfully…that he could only be called an Evil demonic Being.
It is the way of this kind of Genius to avoid with passionate indignation everything that confuses and deceives us in our judgment of things, for he wants to give to each his own, whether that thing be dead or living, real or imaginary.
He seeks to set all views in the best light by illuminating it from all sides, and reveal a clearer knowledge of things.
But His Objectives…which here and there shine through…would be Great and Good.
He would be like a Centaur, half beast, half man, with Angels wings attached to his back and a Glowing Halo over his head…
One only has to take a few days studying the Life and Genius Works of Michael Jackson, and end your research with “This Is It!” to drive that point home, and dissolve your doubts in that description.
So Go…
Be Your Genius...
Be in Action in the World as the Living Breathing Manifestation of the Experience of the Talents & Works you were brought into this Earth to Do…
To Be…
Dare Something Worthy…
Who would You Be If You Knew No Fear?
