The highest
level gifted
kids
before the
palingenesia |
Gregory Robert
Smith is an
American whose
genius surprises
the world, even
when compared to
other prodigies.
He could have
been an ordinary
pre-teen, if it
was not for the
huge potential
of his
intelligence
exceeding, and
with a big
difference, the
average
presented by the
"intelligence
quotient" of
other young
people of his
age. He was only
one year and two
months old when
he already
solved simple
problems of
algebra and, at
13 he graduated
in mathematics,
by the
Randolp-Marcon
College in
Washington. He
is the president
of a foundation,
the Youth
Advocates,
dedicated to the
defense of needy
youths; he has
already met with
major world
leaders,
discussing the
future of
Mankind and, in
2002, he was
nominated for
the Nobel Peace
Prize.
For
Dr. Barbara
Clark, of the
University of
California, two
individuals with
approximately
the same genetic
ability to
develop
intelligence can
be considered
potentially
gifted or
educable
retarded,
depending on the
environment in
which they
interact. To
understand how
some individuals
become gifted
and others do
not, we need to
familiarize
ourselves with
the basic
structure and
function of the
human brain.
At birth,
according to
Clark Barbara,
the human brain
has about 100 to
200 billion
cells. Each cell
has its place
and is ready to
be developed and
to be used, and
deliver the
highest levels
of human
potential.
"Although we do
not develop
neural cells, it
is not
necessary,
because we
already have
them; if used,
they would allow
us to process
several trillion
of information
during our
lives. We use an
estimated 5%
less of this
capacity. The
way we use this
complex system
is crucial to
the development
of the
intelligence and
personality, and
the very quality
of life we
experience as
we grow". [1]
For some
researchers, the
genes are the
physiological
and behavior
agents;
phenotype [2] is
the result of
the interaction
of the
environment with
the genotype.
Thus, genes
determine the
limits of the
capabilities and
potential of the
body of any
learning, and
must take place
necessarily
within the
limits given by
genotypes that
will suffer
influence of the
environment,
which will give
the ultimate
expression of
the
characteristics.
Many children
are creative,
and creativity
is the highlight
in the activity
of producing
what is both
unusual and
useful. A direct
implication of
one’s own
intellectual
giftedness is
that the gifted,
by definition,
interact with
the world in a
significantly
different way
from the way
other people do.
By the way,
Howard Gardner’s
Theory of
Multiple
Intelligences
proposes that
the human mind
is multifaceted,
and there are
several
different
capabilities
that can receive
the name of
"intelligence."
The gifted
children
Cases of
forwarded
children always
call attention.
The Academy of
Science does not
have a vigorous
explanation of
the subject; it
assigns a
"miraculous"
biogenetic
predisposition
(!?), powered by
external
stimuli. Another
enormous
difficulty
encountered by
the doctors of
the Academy is
the
non-agreement on
the definition
of "giftedness".
Some researchers
distinguish
gifted [3] from
talented, the
first being
considered as
the individual
high
intellectual
ability, or
academic, and
the second as
having superior
skills in the
arts, music, and
theater".
[4]
The gifted, for
example, can
perceive more of
the environment
than most
people.
Therefore, this
type of person
tends to be seen
as exaggerated
or overly
sensitive.
Usually, it is
more receptive
to the emotional
state of mind,
to joy and pain,
both his and
others', and is
most affected by
shortcomings,
injustices and
frustrations.
His doubts and
convictions are
more intensely
lived,
acquiring, for
him, the amount
of essential
goals.
The little
genius has
intelligence,
imagination,
boldness and a
certain inner
self-reliance,
traits that come
in opposition to
the more usual
attitudes of
dependence or
imitation.
Several experts
agree that
gifted students
have
psychological
and behavioral
peculiarities
substantially
different from
those of the
general
population. It
is a fact with
important
implications
both for the
identification
and for the
interaction with
this type of
individual.
Kids who disturb
materialistic
science
The Brazilian
Maiko Silva
Pinheiro read at
4 years of age.
He learned to
make accounts at
5 and at 9 he
was reprimanded
by the teacher
because he made
divisions using
his own logic,
different from
the method
taught in
school. Another
Brazilian,
Ricardo Tadeu
Soares Cabral,
began reading at
3 years of age;
at 9 he wrote a
book. When he
became 12 years
old, while
attending the
8th grade of
elementary
school, he got
the first place
in the entrance
exam to Law, at
a private school
of Rio de
Janeiro. Ricardo
became the
youngest
Brazilian in a
university. Four
years later, he
entered the
Guinness Book of
Records as the
youngest lawyer
in the world. At
18 he completed
his Masters in
Law at the
famous American
Harvard
University, one
of the largest
concentrations
of gifted on the
planet.
The famous
French
mathematician,
Henri Poincare,
who passed away
in 1912,
believed that
the mathematics
geniuses bring
an inborn
talent, that is,
"they already
come ready",
which subtly
enshrines the
multiplicity of
lives. The young
Carlos Matheus
Silva Santos,
from the
Brazilian State
of Sergipe, now
32 years old, a
poor student in
a public school,
achieved an
unprecedented
fact in one of
the best
training centers
in Latin
America, the
Institute of
Pure and Applied
Mathematics,
where he
obtained his
doctorate when
he was 19 years
old.
History gives
space to some
junior geniuses
Gabriel Delanne
- in his book
Reincarnation,
in Chapter VII -
deals with the
"experiences of
the renewal of
memory", quoting
Allan Kardec,
and speaks of
the perispirit
that "survives
death" and
memorizes all
experiences in
other lives. [5]
A Spirit that
for centuries
dedicated itself
particularly to
the study of
mathematics
brings, as
emphasized by
Poincare, this
"inborn talent",
the natural
impulse to
practice the
activities that
he likes most.
We find these
same trends in
exceptional
musicians such
as Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart,
who from 2 to 3
years of age he
already
performed with
ease, several
piano pieces; he
mastered three
languages
(German,
French and
Latin); he
played
harmonious
sounds on a
violin at the
age of 4; he
played in public
and composed
minuets when he
was 5 years old;
and wrote his
first opera,
La Finta
Semplice, in
1768, when he
became 12.
Paganini gave
concerts at age
of 9 in Genoa,
Italy. Within
the world
literature, the
phenomenon
Victor Hugo is
unique. When he
was only 13, he
was awarded the
coveted prize of
the city of
Tolosa. Goethe
knew how to
write in
different
languages,
before the age
of 10.
We also quote
Victor Hugo, the
greatest genius
of France, who
wrote his first
book at the age
of 15. Pascal,
12 years old,
with no books
and no teachers
showed
thirty-two
geometry
propositions of
Book I of
Euclid; at 16,
he wrote the
"Treatise on
Conic" and, just
after that he
wrote works of
Physics and
Mathematics.
Michelangelo, at
the age of 8
years, was
released from
the sculpture
classes by his
teacher, there
was nothing more
to teach him.
Allan Kardec,
examining the
question of
genius, asked
the Benefactors:
- How to
understand this
phenomenon? They
then said they
were "past
memories,
previous
progress of the
soul (...)". [6]
One must be born
again
Dr. Richard
Wolman of
Harvard
incorporated the
concept of the
Spiritual
Intelligence to
other theories
in vogue. This
concept is the
human capacity
to make
fundamental
questions about
the meaning of
life and to
experience both
the perfect
connection
between each of
us and the world
we live in. Not
exactly what
defines the
Doctrine, but
it's a step in
the full
understanding of
the individual.
Researchers like
Ian Stevenson,
Brian L. Weiss,
H. N. Banerjee,
Erlendur
Haraldsson,
Hellen Wanbach,
Edit Fiore and
others brought
remarkable
results on the
reincarnation
thesis.
Only a plurality
of stocks may
explain the
diversity of
characters, the
variety of
skills, the
disproportion of
moral qualities,
in short, all
the inequalities
that our eye can
see. Out of this
law, it would be
useless to ask
why certain men
have talent,
noble feelings,
lofty
aspirations,
while many
others only
manifest
passions and
coarse
instincts. The
influence of the
environment,
heredity and
educational
differences are
not enough,
obviously, to
explain these
phenomena. We
see members of
the same family,
related through
blood, through
the genetic
background, and
educated in the
same moral
principles,
being totally
different as
people.
"That which is
born of the
flesh is flesh,
and that which
is born of the
Spirit is
Spirit. Do not
marvel
[Nicodemus] with
what I told you:
Ye must be born
again" (Jesus)
[7]. The
doctrine of
reincarnation is
the one that
fills the
emptiness of the
human soul
seeking
clarification
about oneself.
In our case, we
ask: Who is
gifted? What
does he do on
this Earth? What
is his future?
These questions
are only
answered (we
repeat) having
the plurality of
existences as a
natural answer
mechanism.
Without
palingenesia
there is no way
to conceive the
evolution or the
human progress.
About our
physical life on
the planet, what
do a few years
of life in a
single existence
represent?
Conclusion
To the Nicodemus
of today we warn
that "the wind
blows where it
wishes, and you
hear its sound,
but cannot tell
whence it
cometh, and
whither it goeth;
so is every one
that is born of
the Spirit"[8]
and man is the
Wayfaring Man of
Grief of the
Universe and
within eternity
he receives
resources and
skills, develops
capabilities,
until he reaches
the position of
an archangel.
