Creative Genius is Not a Personality Trait.
Genius is often acknowledged when there is a change in perception which changes how we look at an insoluble problem. Creativity and genius are both high energy attractors.
Throughout human history, man has grappled with difficult questions, the answers to which appear very logical and easy to genius. Many people who we recognised as genius quite commonly and routinely reject that label.
Possibly genius is activated by formulating a question and waiting for the consciousness to work out the inevitable answer. Great composers such as Beethoven and Wagner did not plan their music, they wrote down the symphonies they heard in their head, as if finished effortlessly without thought.
Vincent van Gogh is arguably the most commercially successful artist and yet in his lifetime he didn't sell a single painting. His genius was not recognised.
Albert Einstein had a revolutionary dream which revealed the answers to the nature of time, but it took him years to translate that insight into provable mathematics.It seems a common problem for geniuses, they have to translate their understanding into a communicable form for normal people to get it.
Although at times geniuses may appear to be frustrated as they work out the problem they are merely preparing the way to realise the answer. This struggle eventually mean that the only way forward is to leap from a lower to a higher energy attractors.
Every advance in human consciousness can be attributed to this link it's as if posing the original question activates an attractor. It is impossible to pose a question unless the answer is already known, otherwise there would be no pattern available to formulate the question.
This may well mean that the potential genius resides in all it is a characteristic of all our consciousness and therefore theoretically attainable by any one of us. It only lies dormant until the right circumstances occur to express itself.
We all know someone and in all probability we have done it ourselves we have had a flash of incredible insight. If you are grateful for this illumination continue to have the capacity to express the genius within them.
Those who use this quality to grow their own ego find it diminishes. The capacity to be open to genius can be learned by anyone of us.
The process is often quite painful and is usually arises like the phoenix from the ashes after a struggle with the question which appears unsolvable. Eventually after defeat comes victory and out of fairly come success and when we relinquish our ego our self-esteem or rather our true self-esteem substantially increases.
Genius is one of the greatest untapped potential resources within our societies. People with great gifts very often have multiple talents. True genius surpasses an interest in money or fame but today our societies are hostile to true geniuses we prefer to acknowledge celebrities.
True geniuses often live very quiet and unobtrusive lives. They appreciate resources and understands the time is precious and rarely do more than is necessary as this would be regarded as waste. You cannot get what you already have
True success is characterised by this nonmaterial understanding of the universe. They understand that life sustains life and survival is thus effortless as giving and receiving one of the same thing.
Geniuses are not superstars and most geniuses do not achieve prominence in many cases they have never had formal higher education. The experience they have is the ability to capitalise a high degree of mastery in the subject.
Many productive geniuses are not recognised until many years maybe even centuries after their death. It could be that the state being a genius is a curse as well as being a gift as it very often brings about unfortunate consequences during a lifetime. An example of this would be Vincent Van Gogh's unstable mental condition during his lifetime which caused him to cut off his ear.
Geniuses often understand the need to create a space for ideas and solutions to crystallise. Their working patterns are often great laws of quiet interspersed with frantic activity. Creativity occurs as a result of in the circumstances rather than outer stimuli.
The reason many people do not achieve their genius status is because they confuse it with a high IQ. It is more likely to be an understanding in a given area of human activity. It is true that many geniuses in the fields of mathematics and physics did indeed have high IQs. In fact it can be argued that they needed this level to be able to understand the question never mind the answer.
There are many geniuses in the fields of the arts or music or design many inventors will never reach their innovative creativity within specified areas.
It would appear that the alignment of one's goals and values with high-energy attractors is more closely associated with genius than anything else.
It takes courage perseverance and also integrity to achieve this state, talent alone is not sufficient. Do what you like to do best doing to the very best of your ability and eventually you will succeed.

Wow! It's been awhile since I read such a riveting blog. I often wonder why creative genius is acknowledged after that person has died? Mozart is still my favorite creative genius.
I am very happy to know that what I have written inspired you to write this very enlightening blog post.
Reading through it reminds me of reading the Think and Grow Rich book by Napoleon Hill. I can definitely see some influence coming from it.
True geniuses are the ones who recognize and relate, assimilate and apply (R2-A2 formula).
