Genius

See Part 24 - Awakening Your Genius
Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in a square hole, the ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them, because they change things. They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who'll do it. [Apple Computer ad 1997]


Keely
Pierson says, "The very fact that there is about the product of another's genius what you and I cannot understand is a proof of genius, i.e., of a superior order of faculties." [More on Keelys Theories]

"So stood matters with Mr. Keely until a few years ago, when, fortunately for his hopes of success, a new conception came to him by accident, as he asserts; one of those happy accidents, it would appear, which only men of the unusual capacity called genius are ready to take advantage of. Just what this conception was, Mr. Keely, with business-like caution, keeps to himself. The public, for the present at least, must be content with its visible results; but these are sufficiently noteworthy to amply repay consideration. They indicate two things: First, that Mr. Keely is no longer dealing with a power arising from gaseous pressure; and, second, that he has made this power capable of producing rotation, levitation, and other effects of mechanical energy. What he claims, in regard to the source of his new system of power, is that he is able to draw vibratory energy directly from space by the aid of special resonating expedients, and that this energy can be made to yield powerful attractive and repulsive force and be converted into vigorous rotary motion through the use of certain apparatus. The power obtained, he asserts, is duplex, or has two opposed conditions, like the positive and negative states of electricity. Mr. Keely denominates these conditions positive and negative, though with the reservation that these terms do not imply excess and deficiency, but simply opposite conditions of energy. He is able, he declares, to disturb the equilibrium of these opposed states of vibratory activity as they exist in the elements of nature, to draw them separately into his apparatus, and to produce mechanical motion as a result of the effort of nature to restore the disturbed equilibrium." [Apergy - Power Without Cost]


Russell
Walter Russell - The Story of My Illumining:
“The Illumination into Cosmic Consciousness is an entirely spiritual experience and is the ultimate goal of all mankind which completes the unfolding of the man idea on earth. All down through man's unfolding it comes gradually to all people. Every inspiring thought which comes to you is a partial Illumination. The geniuses of the world are those who have had the greatest number of spiritual inspirations. Every such inspiration is also a partial Illumination.” [Walter Russell]

"Your transcendent genius is the result of your communion with God. By your masterly interpretation of the rhythmic heart beat of His thinking you have caused others to commune with you and God. Your meditation and theirs are one. You have made them to forget their sensed bodies and dwell in the Mind kingdom of your high heavens with you and all illumined Souls who dwell in God's kingdom of Light." [Russell, Home Study Course, Unit One - Lesson 2.2]

"OSCAR WILDE had a great insight. And this man was turned out of England, EXPELLED BECAUSE OF HIS STRANGE IDEAS. His contemporaries thought that he was a little bit crazy. Do you think a crazy man can have such a great clarity, such a great consciousness? BUT THIS IS THE FATE OF ALL THOSE WHO ARE BORN AHEAD OF THEIR TIME. The gap between their understanding and that of their contemporaries is so vast that THEY ARE ALWAYS MISFITS. Oscar Wilde is one of the most famous misfit geniuses of the world.

"But always remember: whenever you can find any book, any poetry of A MAN WHO WAS CONDEMNED BY HIS CONTEMPORARIES, look into the poetry, into the book, into the statement; because that statement MUST BE CARRYING SOMETHING OF TREMENDOUS VALUE which the contemporaries could not understand.

"THE GREAT MAN HAS TO WAIT CENTURIES TO BE UNDERSTOOD. The people who can understand them come when they are long dead. They live a life DISRESPECTED, DISHONORED in their own lands by their own people. And they give TREMENDOUS TREASURES, but there is no appreciation in their contemporaries. These rebels are THE VERY SALT OF THE EARTH. It is because of these rebels that humanity has a little hope, that consciousness has grown a little bit higher.

" JUST TAKE AWAY THESE FEW REBELS FROM THE HISTORY OF MAN, AND MANKIND DISAPPEARS and there are only barbarous, inhuman, ugly creatures left behind. But the people who have given you all the wisdom that you have, all the consciousness that you have, all the sensibility that you have... YOU HAVE PAID THEM WITH CRUCIFIXIONS.

"Oscar Wilde lived his life being deported from this place to another, from that place to another, without any honor. Still, NOT A SINGLE WORD OF COMPLAINT, no grudge against anybody, but a simple acceptance that "I HAVE COME BEFORE MY TIME. It is not their fault, it is just my fault. I should have waited a little longer.

"But perhaps even today he would have been before his time; STILL HIS TIME HAS NOT COME. I have looked into his words and I can say it authoritatively: still he will have to wait for his people. The people who are living around the earth, even today, misbehave with him as the people of his own day did.

"But I would like my people to UNDERSTAND THESE REBELS, because these are AUTHENTIC HUMAN BEINGS. These are the crystallized souls, integrated consciousnesses.

"Not your bogus saints, but great poets, great mystics, great painters, great creators in any dimension... THEY HAVE A VISION WHICH GOES TO INFINITY; they have a depth like the Pacific and they have the heights of the Himalayan peaks. If you can make friends with these rebels, something of their flavor may enter into your own being too. It may become a seed in you, and in the right time may bring great flowers and great fragrance."

"Every successful man or great genius has three particular qualities in common. The most conspicuous of these is that they all produce a prodigious amount of work. The second is that they never know fatigue. And the third is that their minds grow more brilliant as they grow older, instead of less brilliant. Great men's lives begin at forty, where the mediocre man's life ends. The genius remains an ever-flowing fountain of creative achievement until the very last breath he draws." [Walter Russell quotes from The Man Who Tapped the Secrets of the Universe]


Mozart
"Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius.
Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius." [Mozart]


Ramsay
In the following treatise of our author Nature will be found beckoning us toward the Chromatic in an exceedingly interesting way; and the exhibition of the Chromatic as a system, and an exceedingly important system, of chords and progressions is a monument to the genius of D. C. Ramsay. [Scientific Basis and Build of Music, page 49]

together on radial lines from the center they appear grouped in various chords and combinations, dropping out and coming in in such succession as to constitute what Ramsay, whose genius was given to set this thus before us, calls "Nature's Grand Fugue." Beginning at F in the center at the top, and moving either to the right or to the left, after a run of 7 notes we have 4 consecutive Octaves, and then comes the Minor fifth, A-E, followed by the Major fifth, G-D; and this by another Major fifth, F-C; the combinations keep changing till at the quarter of the circle we come to F, A, C, E, G, a combination of the subdominant and tonic Major; and after another varied series of combinations we have at the half of the circle the elements of 2 minor chords, D, F, A and A, C, E, and one Major chord, C, E, G; at the third quarter we have a repetition of the first quarter group; and the various chords and combinations dropping out and coming in, fugue-like; finally we return to where we began, and end with the three-times-three chord, in which the whole 25 notes are struck together, and make that wondrous and restful close of this strange Fugue. No one can hear the thrice-threefold chord of this close and ever forget it; it is "the lost chord" found; and leads the saintly heart away to the Three in One who is the Lord of Hosts; Maker of Heaven and Earth, and all the host of them. [Scientific Basis and Build of Music, page 103]

Nature does give us the chromatic scale of 12 semitones, but she does so by a very different process.
We have, however, to thank Euler, perhaps, for starting the genesis of the scale from F instead of C, which he does without assigning any reason for it, and, it seems without seeing the deep significance of it; and since he does this as a mere matter of course, it would be interesting to know if he had not seen F thus used by some other, it may be some obscure genius who had insight to discern, more than push to put forth his finding - a case in which the world has doubtless sometimes been a loser. - Editor.

Napoleon Hill
"A genius is someone who has taken full possession of his own mind and directed it toward objectives of his own choosing, without permitting outside influences to discourage or mislead him." [Napoleon Hill]


Cayce
"There are those who are geniuses and yet are so very close to the border that an emotional shock may make a demon of a genius. There are those activities in which a spiritualized cell, by environment, may make of the demon a saint." [Cayce (281-63)]
