“Genius is by definition a style of consciousness characterized by the ability to access high energy attractor patterns. It is not a personality characteristic. It is not something that a person has, nor even something that someone is. Those in whom we recognize genius commonly disclaim it. A universal characteristic of genius is humility.

Not even lovers, and scarcely even the geniuses with special insight into personality, ever had anything like accurate vision of one another... The most precious gift that a lover could bring to the beloved was not virginity but sexual experience. The union, it was felt, was the more pregnant the more each party could contribute from previous sexual and spiritual intimacy with others.” SpiritualIndividualFeltPartyVisionSpecialPersonalityGeniusLoversUnionsSpeciesInsightIntimacyBelovedIsolationAccuratePregnantVirginityPrecious GiftsInsurmountableOlaf Author:Olaf Stapledon
