Matter Over Mind: How To Develop Future Potential and Personal Genius

Personal Genius Part 2: Mind

How To Develop Future Potential and Personal Genius
Chapter 8: Personal Genius Part 2

We discussed in part 1 the wonderful truth that Genius is a tenant of the Universe and it resides in all of us. In order to access this Genius you must first know that you are a Genius-you possess the Universe's "know-how". Secondly, know that your Genius is specific, a signature, if you will, designed to meet a specific need for the world. We will now discuss how to locate your Genius-how to know what you're called to do. Also, we will learn the essence of Genius, uncovering the truth about time, speed and the mind and how they are related to Genius.

I would like to start by stating all evil is good, or I should say, all evil is born out of good. There is no inherent evil, no evil of origin that existed in the beginning of creation. Evil is a potentiality that comes into existence through observation. Observation, as we discussed in the first chapter is the foundation of knowledge, control and free will-it gives access to the otherwise, inaccessible. Evil occurs when one does not completely know one's self and sees something that is perceived missing from one's life. To simply want what is not yours creates the pressure of evil-this is demonstrably seen in all life, even babies show they possess this evil pressure . Now, most of this pressure remains locked up by the benevolent mind, but as more thought is applied, a corresponding action will occur. Once an evil desire is realized, one experiences a tempered feeling of achievement and fulfillment. You feel a false sense of accomplishment and you go about, finding ways to reproduce that feeling-so more evil intentions are born. Now, why the trouble explaining this emotional flaw? Because at the heart of the matter lies the seat of your purpose. Inside of your misguided desires rests the real you-strong, clear-minded and ready for the world. How do you find your purpose? By observing the evil. Ask these questions: what is my ill-desire?How do I engage it?How does it make me feel once the evil desire is fulfilled? Remember, it is only covering for the absence of true purpose. Your strength is in your weakness.
A man with a wandering eye may be a visually astute individual with the gift of vision to see things in a more clear state-there are several examples of this dichotomy among our greatest leaders. Again, another example is the individual who chooses to sell drugs and becomes great at it-inside of him may lie an astute businessman with an ability to sell. This same truth is in your possession today- inside of your evil is your good, you just need look close enough to see it. Now, I'm not advocating you give in to your ill-desires, only be careful to observe when those feelings creep up in your mind, then follow them back to their source. The Life Observation Exercise was designed as a tool to help you gain insight of the reality of your current life and vision of your true goals. Use it to uncover your true purpose, your Personal Genius. Once unlocked, your Personal Genius will transform your life. Now, I would like to discuss what actually, Personal Genius is.

In order to understand what Personal Genius is, we must know what it is not. It is not a component of the physical world, it doesn't possess physical properties.  That being said, it cannot be observed with the physical eye or any scientific apparatus. No light, sound or tactile pressure can interact directly with Personal Genius- no traditional scientific method. It is a construct of the mind and it is composed of three elements within the mind, Mind, Time and Speed-MTS. MTS is inside of everyone, it is a key element of everyone's identity. Each component of MTS has a value and they vary from person to person. It is this difference in value that gives rise to the "I am" in one's ego. Observing the subtle differences in Mind, Time or Timing and Speed gives one a base knowledge that begins to accumulate from birth. You see, in the all encompassing Mind, everyone possesses an independent conscious mind that can observe a moment and quantify values, Time, which is the ability to absorb information and Speed is the rate of that absorption. That being said, you have the ability to observe and evaluate to a degree, the ability to understand to a degree and speed in which you grasp the understanding. The ever-shifting values of MTS are the make-up of your Personal Genius-your gift. A mathematician can visualize complex solutions to complex equations while a composer can write sheets of music for several instruments in his or her mind-both, using MTS. The conscious is a component of MTS, so generally speaking, without intention, it cannot observe MTS, in the same way you cannot see your eyes. What we are describing is the "self", our identity as it relates to our connection to other persons and things. With MTS there is no boundary of 3 dimensional space or traditional time, so is it with the "self". Also, just as the self can develop and grow, so can MTS. We will look at each component of MTS and learn how to strengthen its network in your life, thereby improving your life.

MIND: Your Will, your Emotions, your intellect-although your mind is not a part of the physical world, you are able to experience the world through it. Through the Mind we are able combine our observations and evaluations to produce our feelings. Our feelings are a set of energy infused thoughts needed to drive action. This collection of feelings are called emotions and it's our emotions that are responsible for most of our decisions. Some of you are married today because your felt a certain feeling about a particular person. While others remain unmarried due to the lack of that feeling. Some of you are police officers due to a feeling felt when observing injustice or maybe feeling a certain way about seeing policemen. Your feelings drive you to make decisions or I should say, your emotions do-"energy in motion".
How can we learn to harness the power of emotions to work for us? So that we are not just making decisions, but making the right decisions? Temet Nosce- Know Thyself. Know your set of Emotions, what makes you act. Everyone is different and produces a different outcome when flowing in the trueness of one's own pure emotions. However, your emotions are not pure, thus, the purpose of this book. Like atoms which constantly acquire and shed electrons, your energy emotions are not without the constant merging and un-merging with other emotional creatures. This is due, in-part, to the brain's ability to store information. We observe and absorb the emotional energy from our environment, then assimilate those feelings. So a child in war torn country in the Middle East will draw from the emotional energy in his environment as a child raised in the suburbs of middle America will assimilate from their environment. To become more authentic, more original, learn your emotional ties, what makes you move, and strengthen the emotions you wish to produce and weaken the others. The Life Observation Exercise will assist you in doing this. If you are able to control transmission and reception of emotions, you will have taken a major step towards walking in your Personal Genius. Thank you. Please go to the Life Observation Exercise Chapter and fill out those four sheets of paper completely. In Part 3 of Personal Genius we will discuss the T in MTS- TIME. See you soon!
