If you have been following me through The Genius Dip report and the compilation report of positive solutions from parents in Combating The Genius Dip, then this video is for you.
You see, based on my research and all the comments and feedback I've received, I came up with one conclusion. The KEY to reaching anyone's full potential is INSPIRATION and CREATIVITY.
Edison, one of the greatest geniuses of our time once said
"Ideas come from space. This may seem impossible and hard to believe but it’s true. Ideas come from out of space."
What did Edison mean?
I believe he meant that within us all, is the ability to tap into universal consciousness to stimulate new ideas. Ideas for books, for new inventions, for solving problems. And inspiration for works of art, for projects to benefit the world.
Kids have this natural talent. Adults lose it. Hence the Genius Dip.
In this video I'm simply going to put myself on a hot seat and show you how stimulating creativity worked for me. So just go ahead and check it out.
And one more thing - I want to let you know that I've been working on something to help your kids to unleash their full potential, I'm about to reveal it soon, but first I need your feedback.
If I could share with you some of my secrets of unleashing creative potential for your kids, how would you like to receive it? Would you prefer it through a video DVD, audio, or a book?
I would love to hear your thoughts, so just go ahead, watch the video and send me your thoughts on my personal email: burtgoldman@gmail.com or just leave a comment below the video.
I would love to hear from you because I want to make sure I reach out to children through the best channels. I simply can't wait to finish up what I have, so please write back to me with your suggestions soonest!
I'm trying to create a group sharing environment where everyone reading this page can share their best practices, thoughts and ideas on how parents can help children avoid the Genius Dip.
I also created a video to explain more. The video is 9 mins...but I think it's a lot more personal than just reading a post. You can see me and hear me and know that I'm a real person. By the way, the picture behind me in the video is one of my recent paintings. It's a scene from California.
ok, here's the video..
And for those of you who prefer reading or can't get the video to load, below the video is the transcript of what I'm saying
So I'd love to hear back from you.
Transcript:
Hi everyone,
Firstly, I really want to say thanks for the overwhelming response to the Genius Dip report. We had 1,800 people download the report in just the first 24 hours. If I was selling a book, one of my publishers told me that that this would qualify me to make it on the New York bestseller list.
So THANK YOU.
I also want to thank you for sending me your thoughts and opinions on the Genius Dip. I received so many emails and comments that I only felt it was fair to record this short video and keep the conversation going.
I really think I accidentally touched a nerve on a lot of people. It turns out that a lot of people were thinking the same way I was. A lot of you expressed your dissatisfaction with the way modern society is allowing kids to grow.
Some of you had amazing ideas and things to share. I simply love how passionate you are to bring out the best in your children, and I know this common passion we have will drive us, together, towards building a better world for our children.
Now, anyone who has studied my writings would already know how strongly I believe in the power of the mind to attract your dominant thoughts into your reality. What I mean by this is... when you focus on the negative, you will only magnify the negative in your life. When you focus on the positive, you magnify the positive.
Now if we simply worked on the idea of blaming the education system, blaming television or video games... that isn't going to solve anything. We would never move on from just talking about the problem... and I don't want to to stay in the negative.
I want to move this conversation forward. I want to know what we can do together from here. Because... what we really have to do is figure out how we can help prevent, or reduce the effect of the genius dip. We need to shift our focus on finding positive solutions.
You see, even though there are shortcomings in society, the one thing that keeps us really alive is the positive sense of growth for better and better days. And just a brief glance at history will show that human societies as a whole build upon the last generation to better the world.
Right now is a really important time for another shift in humanity... another level up. I really, truly believe from the bottom of my heart.... I really think that we are at the start of the new era for humanity.
Take for example the Flynn effect. I don't know how many of you know what I'm talking about when I say the Flynn effect, but in a nutshell, the Flynn effect talks about how average IQs are rising remarkably in our kids.... Generations after generations are growing up to be smarter and smarter than their parents.
Then there is the phenomenon of indigo children, a generation of kids who have been born with heightened sensitivity and intuition. And then of course there's the phenomenon of our current mass embrace of spiritual practices. Just the hundreds of websites and books being consumed everyday on mans spiritual nature is indication of this.... not to mention the unquantifiable spiritual lessons taught between people through actions and words.
So, without doubt, I believe we are at the cusp of a new era of humanity. And because of this, I believe the old ways won't work. We cannot nurture creativity and intuition in our kids and give our kids the skills to make better decisions in their lives through a mass system. Because of the mass structure alone, the system couldn't possibly teach our children these skills... simply because it cannot cater to each and every child's individual needs.
So lets focus on the positive. What are the new ways?
Well, for this, I want to hear your thoughts. I have my ideas... but you probably have equally good ideas.
So please tell me... What are the unique things that you would do, or you did as a parent, or what are the things that your parents did for you that helped you nurture your growth and helped you avoid the Genius Dip as much as possible?
What are the moments in your life... the small things that made a big difference... that you remember and treasure and value the most?
I'd love to hear your ideas... because what i want to do is compile all these ideas and share them with our audience so that all parents can learn from each other... and perhaps by sharing ideas you might touch another family's lives, or another parent might touch your family's life.
I think that this is an important thing that we need do. And I think it's important to do it together as a community.
So all you need to do is fill in the comments below this post and share your ideas and stories and inspirations on how to nurture children's growth in all aspects.... from developing a stronger mind... to instilling courage and motivation... to achieving better communication skills... to knowing how to combat their fears... having control over emotions and make wise decisions... and oh... the list goes on.
Tell us also your hopes and dreams of what you wish to see for that better day our children will live in.
I really can't wait to hear back from you. And once again... thank you... your concern and contribution is really, really appreciated.

People often ask me how to use the MindBox. Those who do, usually receive a very specific and straight forward answer.
But sometimes, it depends. Let me explain to you what I'm talking about.
One day I asked for your feedback on "Free Lessons from the American Monk." Then, a young lady posted a video on YouTube. Her results were stunning: She claimed that she has lost 32 pounds in just 8 weeks with the help of the Daisy Pond.
Wow - that was some great success for her! And although there is one mastery module inside the MindBox which specifically helps in fighting bad habits like addiction or overeating etc. - for this young lady it was the Daisy Pond that just did it instead!
So, it basically shows that the uses of the MindBox can vary depending on you. There are no strict, restrictive guidelines.
Now, I would like to encourage you to share your personal stories and experiences with me and all our fellow friends out there.
* How do you use the MindBox?
* How often do you use the MindBox?
* What worked most effectively for you?
* Which techniques do you like most and why?
Since we are all on the same track - let's inspire each other and ignite the full potential of what we want to achieve!
Leave your comments and let me know what works best for you!
If you've read my revealing report about the Genius Dip, then you would probably be equally - or more - concerned about our children's future as I am.
Yes, it is indeed amazing to think that those hardworking Harvard researchers have actually proven that
ALL Children are Born Geniuses... and I am indeed shocked to know that98% of them will LOSE their Genius Potential by age 20 because of environmental factors.
But if you've read the report .... you already know my opinion of how the education system contributes to The Genius Dip.
Now I'd like to know what YOU think. What you -- the parents and caregivers to our children who are the most important people on our planet -- think about The Genius Dip.
What do you think are the factors that are fueling The Genius Dip?
What do you think we can do about it?
I would love to hear what you think. This would help me understand the situation a lot more. Only with better understanding can we know what the next steps should be.
Together, lets make a difference for our children.
I stumbled upon this video recently, where Sir Ken Robinson speaks about creating an education system that nurtures creativity, rather than undermining it. He points out the many ways our schools fail to recognize the talents of many brilliant people.
"We are educating people out of their creativity" - he says.
Now I've been thinking about it for a long time, and this question has been bugging me...
If our children are being born with higher degrees of consciousness than we are --- could our present way of living and education be holding them back from their true potential?
Your reply to my last email about Indigo children left me stunning. So here is another one. Keep the discussion alive and tell me what's your opinion on this. Please leave your comments below the video.
My name is Burt Goldman. I’m one of those “lucky people” who discovered a secret early in life. For the last 50 years, I have been traveling the world and meeting and studying spiritual masters from every inch of our planet. Now, at the age of 82, I'm ready to share with the world what I have learned. I started this blog to be able to share with you my most valuable teachings and insights I have gained over the past few decades. Here, you'll find plenty of valuable information on meditation, energy healing, spirituality, and my latest revelation, Quantum Jumping. I look forward to connecting with you and I sincerely hope you enjoy being a part of this blog.
