Potential

I have been reading a bit on savants, the elite of which I am most interested in. They are able to have an uncanny genius that allows them to do things most consider impossible, such as one who is blind, has cerebral palsy, and is developmentally challenged, he is able to play a classical piece of music perfectly after only hearing it once - and can play thousands of pieces flawlessly. His name is Leslie Lemke. Several places also site that this does not necessarily have to be since birth, some people with dementia or brain damage later in life have also developed amazing savant capabilities, giving rise the possibility that we all have genius this powerful locked inside of us. One such woman, blind and mentally challenged, once had her mother let her listen to the time on the phone – where it gives the time and seconds. Ever since that event, the woman was able to recall the exact time – to the second.

Einstein was rumored to be autistic, with difficulties in social behavior, perhaps this is a key element to his relentless pursuit into the very depths of physics - perhaps the real key is ignorance to what is thought impossible. Einstein rarely ate - he just "forgot" to - being in such immense concentration and focus. Genius in it's very definition is abnormal - if we were all geniuses, at least in the current state of society, perhaps culture, business, and economy as we know it would cease to exist. Genius in itself could require us to remove ourselves from everyone else - in direct violation of the global consciousness that progresses us all forward towards that unknown goal.

Ground Zero

We all doubt ourselves. Self delusions - a ancient survival system trying to keep status quo. We are all asleep in that fashion - self delusions in order to move forward each day. Every one of us has unlimited potential, yet we are trapped by our fears. Hopes and dreams are rarely acted upon - why? Do we each feel we don't deserve it, or are we simply afraid to try - we don't feel we "have what it takes" to get there? I think we all have what it takes - we can all awaken to a new level of consciousness - A level where anything is possible. The realm of visionaries - relentless in the task of moving and thinking forward regardless of boundaries. Today is the day where I ask you to look into yourselves - I mean really look.

Think about the things you fear the most - and why you fear them. This will not be easy - but remember - it is just your mind - there really isn't anything to fear - you aren't being judged. You answer to no one but yourself - and by ignoring your thoughts and feelings you are only illusion yourself into a cage. Free yourself.
