Jay Greenberg started playing the cello at two years of age. Today, aged 15, he has already composed more than 100 classical works of music. You may have heard the CD of the London Symphony Orchestra playing his fifth (that’s 5th!) symphony. Believe me, an orchestra like the LSO wouldn’t make a recording like that if it weren’t a first-rate composition. Jay’s no slouch—he composes on computer. None of the pen-and-ink stuff for him that Bach, Beethoven, and the boy-genius Mozart got away with!
Then there are the Indonesian Chinese Boedihardjo boys. The older boy, Horatio, arrived at Oxford University aged 13, but his brother, March Tian, turned up at Hong Kong Baptist University to study mathematics at the age of nine. These youngsters really blow your mind, don’t they?
Those four boys represent the tip of the genius iceberg. All over the world genius is displayed by girls and boys. Some are well-adjusted kids; others are savants who possess a fiercely focused ability in just one academic or artistic field but, unfortunately, have major social-skill deficiencies. There are hundreds, if not thousands of such geniuses alive today.
What unlocks genius like that?
I had a conversation* about this issue with the soul of Albert Einstein, himself a genius who changed the whole course of modern physics when he published four outstanding mathematical papers in1905. Speaking of his own skills, he said that he had not completely severed himself from his past lives. That seems to be the case with little Kieron, whose genius really looks like an inherited one. Most of the time, nearly all of us start our life completely unaware of any past incarnations. That’s a deliberate policy the universe has established to protect us from abusing such knowledge by cheating on our life-lessons.
Einstein also said that genius is pre-arranged. Before incarnating, each soul meets with its council of advisors to decide on the life-lessons it will undertake during its next life. He said, “The effect that genius has upon a person is to isolate them, so geniuses, in order to be able to sustain themselves, have to possess a foreknowledge of what they are doing—even though it is unconscious.” Feeling that connection, said Einstein, helps to make real the love their souls have for themselves, so helping them to avoid self-destructive behavior.
Interestingly, I also talked with the US World War II general George S. Patton, who was an acknowledged military genius. He was well aware of his past lives and had applied ancient Roman military thinking in the Battle of the Bulge to great effect. But Patton had a truly self-destructive personality, and his foolhardy mission during the battle of Meuse Argonne cost the lives of five of the six soldiers he took with him on a sortie.
Human life is much more of a pre-planned activity than most of us realize. It is essential that we should know it is our own soul who freely agreed to the lessons we undertake, and who always retains freedom of choice whether we will learn them when they occur in our lives or put them off until another incarnation.
