[Drifter]

Creativity and genius are at the center of high-energy attractors. NO human talents are more relevant to the creation of new M-fields or for the expansion of the enfolded universe; in fact, these are the explicit domains of creativity and genius. Yet there's a scarcity of information about the essential nature of either quality---these closely allied processes remain shrouded in mystery.
Human history is the record of man's struggle to comprehend truths that have appeared obvious to those of genius. Genius is by definition a style of consciousness characterized by the ability to access high-energy attractor patterns. It isn't a personality characteristic, nor is it something that a person "has" or "is." A universal characteristic of genius is humility; after all, those in whom we recognize genius commonly disclaim it, as they've always attributed their insights to some higher influence.
The process of animating genius most commonly involves first formulating a question, then waiting an indefinite interval for consciousness to work with the problem---until suddenly, the answer appears in a flash, in a form that is characteristically nonverbal. For example, great musicians throughout history have stated that they didn't plan their music, but simply wrote down what they heard within their own minds. The father of organic chemistry, F.A. Kekule`, saw the molecular structure that he based his ring theory on in a dream. And, in an illuminated moment, Albert Einstein had the revolutionary insight that then took him years to translate into provable mathematics. Indeed, one of the main problems of genius is how to transform what's perceived in ones private understanding into a visible expression that's comprehensible to others. The revelation itself is usually complete and self-explanatory to the person who receives it, but to make it so to others may take a lifetime.
Genius thus seems to proceed from sudden revelation rather than conceptualization, but there is an unseen process involved: Although the genius' mind may appear stalled and frustrated with the problem, what it's really doing is preparing the field. There's a struggle with reason that eventually leads like a Zen koan, to a rational impasse from which the only way forward is to leap from a lower attractor energy pattern to a higher one. [a metempsychosis, that is to say, to a 360 degree turn in ones thinking]
Attractor energy patterns have harmonics, as do musical tones. The higher the harmonics frequency, the higher the power. What genius arrives at it a new harmonic. Every advance in human consciousness has come through a leap from a lower attractor pattern to its higher harmonic. Posing the original question activates an attractor; the answer lies within its harmonic. This is why it's said that the question and the answer are merely two sides of one coin, and that one can't pose a question unless the answer already exists---otherwise there would be no pattern that the question could be formulated from.
Recognised geniuses may be rare, but genius resides within all of us. There's no such thing as "luck" or "accident" in this cosmos; and not only is everything connected to evrything else, no one is excluded from the universe---we are all members. Consciousness, like physicality, is a universal quality; because genius is a characteristic of consciousness, genius is also universal. It follows that that which is universal is available to each and every person. Some just can't get past their own ego and allow unity to prevail.
