The Banal To The Great

The human mind is a fertile field, a wondrous
construct of Nature's deliberate and fastidious
design, a storehouse of intelligence, memory,
experience, emotions, curiosity, bold
endeavour, and need. It is capable of
immeasurable attainment and growth;
equally that of boredom and calcification.

Residing within the nascent consciousness
of an infant, it stores vast realms of
exposures and eurekas to coalesce and
develop to ultimately present, through
trial and error, imagination and witness,
the gradual emergence of a solitary, unique
and formidably able reflective intellect.

The complexity of the process whereby
similar backgrounds and exposures result
in variations on the broadest of themes and
the narrowest of apprehensions a magnificent
testimony to both Nature and the nature of
humanity. But for opportunity goes a
mind incapable of reaching its potential.

Genetic inheritance - another manifestation
of Nature's original blueprint, the initial
propulsion wedded to circumstance and
eventual self-realization. The child avidly
observes, emulates, chooses its protocol,
prioritizes and proceeds to become what it
wills itself to achieve throughout a lifetime.

Stimulation, purpose, values and the
exercise of free will may produce the
richness of a mind tuned to nuance and
probabilities. Knowledge, untrammelled
by the presence of unaware triteness, of
popular design so successful in producing
the inevitable herd, rarely the herdsman.
