The Genius Inside You

When you are in that place of awareness, you are attuned to the infinite wisdom of God, which gives you the grace to do more than you ever thought possible. Your mind, remodeled by your awakened consciousness, is no longer restricted by the nagging voice of fear. The ego’s unconscious storyline of I’m not enough, which limited your potential, has yielded to the spirit’s affirmation of “I am love,” thus breaking the limitations that fear produced in your mind.

Science is now discovering that the brain is inherently wired for love. It’s the egoic mindset that puts your mind out of sync with your wired-for-love design, damaging both your brain and body. This mindset of negativity reduces the brain’s ability to help you actualize your potential. As David Shenk in The Genius Inside All of Us writes, “New science suggests that few of us know our true limits,” and adds, “the vast majority of us have not even come close to tapping what scientists call our ‘unactualized potential.”

So if your brain’s default setting is to be tuned to love, and fear damages your brain, the obvious conclusion is that being awakened to your true self boosts your emotional wellbeing and intelligence and enhances your ability to innovate. Some of the most creative geniuses in history attribute their inventions to finding it from a place within, beyond their thoughts.
