AWAKENING THE CREATIVE GENIUS IN YOU

The commonly accepted misconception regarding the idea that geniuses are specially born is not correct.

By genius, I mean that the quality of conciousness possessed by such outstanding geniuses as Rubens, Leonardo, Titan and Raphael, such philosophers as Socrates, Plato, Marcus Aurielius, Plotinus, Laotzu and Confucius such Mystics as Buddha, Moses, Mohammed, Buhha 'u' Liah and the supreme mystic of all time Jesus the Nazarene. Also our modern geniuses such as: Bethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Rachmianoff. Paderewsk, Edison, Marconi, and their prototypes which are altogether too few in these thousands of years of world history. None is so rare among men as a genius. Out of hundreds of millions, we have but one.

Go down through the pages of history and count them. From these few, the culture of our race and its very resurrection from the jungle has come. These few have been our path to our ultimate mountain top: Our awareness of our very souls has come to us from these few who first found God in themselves and extended their awareness to each one of us in the measure of our ability to receive that awareness.

We all inherit all that God has to give, the maximum of genius is in everyone. A spoonful is not given to one and a bowl to another. We are all born equal in the light of God. We are His omniscient lights and all of it centers in us.

The only difference between the greatest genius in the world and the ordinary man is that the genius is aware of the light within him and the ordinary man is not aware of that light.

The omnipotent light is in everyone - in all of its fullness likewise, all knowledge is in the light of everyone awaiting one's awareness of it.

Light is the self and soul of everyone; the omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent light which is God. That light of all knowing is foundation of creation. It is the one still light from which the universe spring to manifest the one gradually and all too slowly we become aware of the light of our soul-selves. We have been out of the jungle for only a few thousand of the millions of years of man's unfolding. We are in the infancy of the human race - the wonder is that so many have become aware of even so much.
