What's a Genius? -"Monsieur"

When I was a kid, apart from painting and sketching, I used to write poems and short stories in handwriting with a distinctive flourish. One day, I decided to write the best story ever. I took out a shoebox, one of my many writing tools, and carefully considered what I was going to write. In a flash of inspiration, I wrote: "Monsieur." Now, to me that meant so many things - my life, my aspirations, my universe. When I showed my masterpiece to others, many of them used to shake or scratch their heads and say that I must have been some kind of a genius, because they couldn't comprehend its meaning. Today I still receive the same kind of reaction from most people, who can't understand me, because I am working in advance of the knowledge of the general population. That brings me to the topic of my thoughts today - What's a genius?

In Websters', "genius" is defined as:

[L, guardian spirit, natural ability, genius]
1 a) according to ancient Roman belief, a guardian spirit assigned to a person at birth; tutelary deity b) the guardian spirit of any person, place, etc. c) either of two spirits, one good and one evil, supposed to influence one's destiny d) a person considered as having strong influence over another
2 JINNI
3 the personification of a quality
4 particular character or essential spirit or nature of a nation, place, age, etc.
5 a great natural ability (for a particular activity); strong disposition or inclination
6 a) great mental capacity and inventive ability; esp., great and original creative ability in some art, science, etc. b) a person having such capacity or ability c) popularly, any person with a very high intelligence quotient

Another of my works as a young man was a poem called: "Footprints in the Sand", along with which I also drew a picture of footprints on an empty beach. In the very corner of the work, I drew a flourish with the initials "MOI". That's Monsieur!

However, one of the downfalls of having been an anonymous writer was that others misinterpreted my message. Now, the copycatters, known collectively as Christians, have misused the meaning of my "Footprints" poem. Its intended meaning was that the memory of one's journey in life is like footprints in the sand. The poem was never intended to be used by Christians as a means by which to attract people into a false sense of security. My teaching has always been that a person should never be a copycat but, rather, an original. The Evangelicals, Baptists and even the Born Again Christians are copies of the original Roman Catholic religion. Now the Catholics, after centuries of conditioning their members through fear and false hope for salvation, are going down fast. So will the copycats!

When I was a child, my spirit advised me: "If you start something, finish it." Simply put, yet I keep going back to that advice, as I see that I haven't finished the work that I started. More than 30 million children have visited me at the higher level to ask for help, and they will be winners because they will refuse the conditioning of their parents, the clergy and the government. I am already known as a proponent of children's rights to spirituality, health and genius, but I want to do more. That's Monsieur!
