"In ancient times, everyone was considered to possess inner genius. It was a kind of guardian spirit that accompanied a person through life and helped one overcome odds and achieve personal heights. We've lost touch with this original meaning of genius (related etymologically to the fabled genie in the lamp) in all our concern over IQ testing and similar nonsense. It's time we brought it back."- Thomas Armstrong, Ph.D.
Because having a "spark" of genius has nothing to do with brain cells and DNA, anyone can be a genius. It's a process of reaching above and beyond our learned skills and knowledge and tapping into something higher, something extraordinary. Genius can't be measured or taught any more than love can, for both are matters of Spirit, and Spirit is available to everyone, all the time.
