“Freedom... Freedom to think, freedom to act, freedom to create. Anyone of you, anybody, can bear the germ, the seed of extraordinary knowledge capable of revolutionizing the world and advancing history. But the seed needs adequate soil conditions to sprout, develop, and bloom.
“So, if any of you is inspired or feels that you have a calling in the core of your soul, this could be a seed. Cultivate and nurse it, which means research it, discuss it, and provide room for it to blossom and grow. A seed will not grow if the soil is too compact. It needs space for air and for its roots to grow and spread out.
“Give freedom to your thoughts; otherwise, the creative spiri t will not be able to express itself. Just as a plant needs air space to receive solar energy and carry out photosynthesis, so too a thought needs freedom to express the power of one’s soul and his or her hidden knowledge.”
"Hidden knowledge is part of our genetic ordering, a heritage from our ancestors. That’s why it’s called genetic memory. The history of science and art is full of such evidence. Let me give you a few quick examples.
“The first example is of the scientist Albert Einstein. At the age of four or five, his father showed him a compass and the needle movement made a huge impact on him, because it didn’t fit with his unconscious thoughts. Later, he called this feeling a memory we think is odd and inquisitive memory. Einstein also said this is different from the knowledge we acquire from our childhood—without questioning— about rain and wind, about the differences between minerals and living beings. The reasons for this feeling were not found by the boy Einstein in his consciousness or unconsciousness or in his life experience.
“At the age of sixteen, Einstein had already begun studies, which he completed when he was thirty-seven years old. These studies allowed him to understand the harmony of our Universe. They also affected, and will continue to affect, science and thus the evolution of humankind. After this, silence takes over ...
“After coming to this profound and revolutionary understanding, which impacted both physics and humanity, Einstein didn’t produce any other research that showed the richness of a creative spirit. The reason he achieved such clear thinking and creativity was the genetic memory. He is not a unique example of that, either. Science is full of people who provided only one unique and major discovery.”
“Another example is a French painter named Boudin, who owned a bookstore in a place called Havre. He would paint in his spare time and place his paintings in the windows of his bookstore. One day, a well-known painter saw his work, liked it, and convinced him to dedicate himself only to painting. So he too became well-known. He even taught a young man named Monet, who would revolutionize painting through a completely different approach called impressionism.
“Eugène Boudin might have spent the rest of his life selling books and painting, without any major commitments, that is, without exploring all of his genetic inheritance, if it hadn’t been for Millet’s encouragement.
“Observe, seek, study your own inner self—there could be a seed in you that needs to be nursed, watered, and fertilized, which will, after germination, contribute to human evolution.”
“Apparently an opposite situation was that of another painter, Morse, an American with a literary and artistic background. He founded a fine-arts society, which eventually became the National Academy of Drawings, of which he was the first president. Quite by accident, he found out that a Frenchman named Ampère had discovered, among other things, the bases for the transmission of electric impulses. Morse imagined symbols for such impulses, worked in his idea and, when he was 46, demonstrated his gadget for the first time. He thus created the famous Morse Code, which profoundly influenced long-distance communication.
“So, if you have an idea, even if it is not in your exact field of activity—such as in Morse’s case—work on it nevertheless. Regardless of your age, you may have a dormant seed. Water it, nurse it along, and cultivate it. Any time is a good time to set it free.”
“A young Englishman by the name of Faraday learned the art of book-binding, between the ages of 13 and 20 years. In his work, he would page through books and encyclopedias, coming in touch with science and becoming interested in it. The opportunity arose to attend a physics course, ministered by an outstanding physicist of the time. He took notes in class, even drew illustrations on the topic, bound them and sent them to the lecturer, who hired him and eventually made him his secretary. This made him even more interested in sci ence, which he proceeded to study. He carried out his first experiments with his master and never stopped after that. He became a wise expert and, among other things, made the first stainless steel, discovered the basis for the electric engine, and developed a theory of the phenomenon which lies at the very basis of the Einstein-developed Theory of Relativity.
“If that young Englishman had remained a book binder, then science and technology would have suffered a major delay.
“If you renounce the stability of a settled life to go after a higher inner calling, you may be taking a major step towards being one of the exceptions contributing to quantum leaps for mankind.”
“As I said, the history of sciences and arts is full of such cases, and I will mention just one more, because of its originality. Mendel, a young Austrian, started his ecclesiastical life when he was 21 years old, but he was also interested in the natural sciences. In the monastery, he started doing experi ments with peas. Intrigued by how plant characters were transmitted from generation to generation, at the age of 43 he established, with his observations, the bases for the transmission of heredity.
“No matter where you may be—Mendel, as an abbot, did his studies in a monastery—and regardless of your age, you can contribute. It is in the genetic code of your cells that the key to a treasure may be found.
“Genetic memory and vocation merge with each other. Vocation comes from the Latin word vocare , which means an inner calling. Nowadays, vocation is nearly a random accident, which depends on unknown factors interacting on different levels. However, as part of the Universe’s evolution, the children will be born with their parents’ knowledge.”
