Borrowed Genius and Quantum leap

You project your beliefs into events and objects and therefore interpret the world through those beliefs and solely through those beliefs. This is your world view. Most people are scared to step out of their world view to adopt a new stand point, however by doing that you can literally make a quantum leap in many of your endeavours. Let me give you an example, it will also serve me to introduce the technique of borrowed genius developed by Win Wenger, Ph.D, founder of Project Renaissance (Project Renaissance is a non-profit educational organization based in Maryland, U.S.A. Its core mission is to enable as many people as possible to become more than a match for the situations, opportunities, problems or difficulties they find around them, and to enjoy a richer quality of life and experience)

In 1977 during a workshop, Win Wenger asked a young girl with minimum experience as a violinist, in fact she has had only 1 lesson prior to the workshop to close her eyes and to do a procedure called the borrowed genius, where she will put her head on someone else in this case Jascha Heifetz a well known violinist, needless to say that after the experiment she was able to go directly in the advanced class. How come such a quantum leap is possible ?

Win Wenger talk about something he names the Raikov Effect, Dr. Raikov discovered that under deep controlled hypnosis patients could borrow the genius of other persons, Raikov made some paint just like Rembrandt, but, after the person emerged from deep hypnosis, he denied that he did the painting yet , the person was still able to keep some of the Rembrandt skill despite the denial. In the case of the Borrowed Genius Procedure the person is fully conscious there is no hypnotic trance involved. Thus made the method easier and more accessible for a greater number of people.

The Borrowed Genius procedure can help people to explore aspect of their creativity they are ignoring, expand or improve a current skills or talents.
The method is explained in details in the book Beyond learning and teaching by Win Wenger, Wendi Friesen at Wendi.com has a self-hypnosis with the Borrowed Genius procedure, so far, I used the CD once to explore one skill that I have but don’t use much, so far, I had good experience, I will review the CD soon and the 8 tracks on it. Stay tuned.
