	Description:		Nature only produces originals. Just as no two trees are the same, each person born is a unique soul with a specific way of viewing life and being in the world. That’s part of the message of the Genius Myth, which also suggests that the Hero Myth may no longer serve as the best way of seeing the role of the individual soul in the world. The Genius Myth suggests that diversity is essential to humanity, just as it is the essence of a growing forest or ecological system. The struggles around diversity at this time are essential for social justice; but also shape a context for awakening to the radical nature of the human soul. Radical means the ‘deepest root of a plant or tree’ and genius is the radical root of the soul. From the soul’s radical view, the turbulence of the world can stir the genius seed within us and help reveal the true reason we each came to life. In times of comfort the genius may sleep; in times of trouble genius awakens. Being true to one’s genius path in life becomes a potent antidote to all the lies and falsehoods in the world.
