Part 1 - The TEST

How do YOU Define GENIUS???

Academic sources explain the meaning of GENIUS as

1. an exceptional natural capacity of intellect, especially as shown in creative and original
work in science, art, music

2.	a person having such capacity.

3.	a person having an extraordinarily high intelligence rating on a psychological test, as an IQ above 140.

4.	natural ability or capacity; strong inclination: a special genius for leadership.

5.	distinctive character or spirit, as of a nation, period, or language.

6.	the guardian spirit of a place, institution, etc.

7.	either of two mutually opposed spirits, one good and the other evil, supposed to attend a person throughout life.

8.	a person who strongly influences for good or ill the character, conduct, or destiny of a person, place, or thing.

Notice that certain words are repeatedly used and stressed to describe GENIUS...

natural ability; capacity
creative; original; distinctive
character; conduct
spirit; destiny
guardian
intellect; intelligence
exceptional; extraordinary
good OR ill; evil

Do certain names come to mind when you think of particular examples of this?

G.E.N.I.U.S. Test #1 -
1. Whose name is at the TOP of your GENIUS List?
2. Does this person look like YOU?


A quick Google Image search of GENIUS will give you names like Einstein and Darwin and, interestingly enough, a lot of hi-tech gadgets and sneakers (of all things). Growing up in Western culture gives you plenty of examples of "genius" that look nothing like the actual definition, or even anyone you know.


First, we must be able to Know G.E.N.I.U.S. -
To do the Knowledge we must Look, Listen & Observe what is going on within as well as with the world around us. Imagery is important because of the meaning it conveys to your mind.

G.E.N.I.U.S. Test #2 - When you see images that look like you and they convey either truthful, balanced, and empowering OR negative, inaccurate, and harmful messages, how does that affect how you see yourself?


Western culture puts most of their emphasis on the least scientific method for discovering and nurturing GENIUS ... i.e. their psychological "tests" such as the IQ Test, among others like all of the public school system related tests & assessments as well as the aptitude and entrance exams to be accepted into most secondary/professional degree programs.

I say this is the least scientific method for discovering genius because of the extremely limited ability of a traditional test to know and assess the infinite manifestations of genius itself. A traditional test shows how well you can pass a test, not necessarily how much you know and don't know and what you are able to do with that knowledge.


Everyone has their own experiences about taking traditional tests, whether it is to pass a class, a grade level, earn a diploma or degree (better known as your "receipt".....we'll get back to that later) or to gain acceptance into a program or school, or even to get a J.O.B. or advance a career


Think about your own experiences with "traditional test taking" in your life...



G.E.N.I.U.S. Test #3 -
1. How did you generally feel before you took traditional tests?
2. How did you feel if you did well on the test?
3. How did you feel if you did poorly on the test?
4. How did you feel if you earned the highest score possible on the test?
5. How did you generally prepare to take tests?
*** Extra Credit: Did you ever feel that you were "smarter" or even less "smart" because of test results or "score"?

All traditional tests are designed to test for specific answers. Either you got it or you don't, you're "right" or "wrong".

My point is that True G.E.N.I.U.S. exceeds the limitations of most, if not, all of these types of tests. Let's get back to those words used in the definitions:

natural ability; capacity
creative; original; distinctive
character; conduct
spirit; destiny
guardian
intellect; intelligence
exceptional; extraordinary
good OR ill; evil

What stands out are the Intangible Elements of the True Nature of a G.E.N.I.U.S. - they cannot be physically touched or measured, yet the meaning of each word is understood.

So - What is, Who is G.E.N.I.U.S.?

In my own words, G.E.N.I.U.S. is
God's Energy Natural Intelligence Unique Soul

When we are born into this Life, we all have the natural ability and capacity to
develop the G.E.N.I.U.S. within.
Just like any other knowledge or ability, the TRUE test is HOW you actually use it!

HOMEWORK:

1. Write YOUR Own Name at the TOP of your G.E.N.I.U.S. List.
2. Next to your name write 3 or more Natural Abilities that you have and circle the one Ability that you want to develop the most in your Life
3. Write about what makes YOU Unique and Distinctive.
4. Find 5 or more G.E.N.I.U.S. people from any point in time that reflect your OWN Image and add them to your List

WHO Are YOU?

Question: Who Are YOU?

Answer: I Am _________________

How do you fill in the blank? Your name? Your occupation? Your race or cultural background?

If you had a different name, occupation, or culture...would YOU still be YOU?

One of my college professors asked this question in our first class.
Who Are YOU? What defines YOU?

Now that you are thinking, think further about Who & What defines YOU.

Is it your family, friends, significant other, occupation, current economic situation?
Is it your clothes, shoes, transportation, hairstyle?
Is it the food you eat, your spiritual beliefs, the books you read, what you do for fun?
Is it expectations that come from your past experiences, and relationships with people?

WHO Are YOU?

Often we grow up going through life looking for others to tell us Who we are. We accept expectations and limits for ourselves based on what we think we are supposed to be.

Where do YOU find the True YOU?
In the Mirror?
Or is the real answer in your MIND?

In this Journey, you are on a mission to Know You. Everything that You will accomplish is based on this Knowledge and how You use it.

I Challenge YOU to be True!

In this Moment, use your rich Imagination to envision your True YOU.
The Best of the Best, The One and Only Unique YOU

YOU are the only one with the Privilege to decide and the Right to define Who You Are and Who You Will Become
It is up to YOU to fill in the blank now with the best You have to offer...

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
It is our Light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who Am I to be Brilliant, Gorgeous, Talented, & Fabulous?
Actually, who are you NOT to be?
You are a Child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are born to manifest the Glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us, it's in EVERYONE.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

- Nelson Mandela 1994 Inaugural Speech

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, Let it Shine, Let it Shine, Let it Shine!


Who Are You?

I AM
