Recognizing True Genius
I have always been interested in how to recognize a true genius.
Is it that mysterious, eternal young man, to whom I salute in the mirror every morning?
Or is it that senile old man who, having forgotten his shoes, came to defend a theory that was supposedly understood only by a narrow, select group of his public promoters?
It took me a long time to see the difference between public opinion and personal understanding. Both require deep individual analysis. With our five senses, we can only lean on the first one.
I learned to listen to "my" inner voice...
The True Embodiment of Genius
Evidently, the embodiment of genius is when someone, regardless of education and age, easily solves even the most difficult mathematical problems without the use of technical aids. Or that young man, with his back turned, virtuously performing his symphony, in front of the eyes of a public commission for the formation of the truth?
There is no doubt about it!
But, when you first meet someone who speaks, writes, translates, even thinks in seven or more languages fluently, you start scratching your head like Einstein! In his life story, I immediately notice the first signs of the burden he carries in the form of labels and diagnoses, through his classification into a group of individuals with "health" anomalies. That sign without fail leads me to a deeper observation.
Well then, my eyes see, my ears recognize, and my intuition tells me where the truth is hidden.
Beyond Public Criteria
Dozens of written books, interviews with the world's highest spiritual authorities, lectures on the roots of human civilization, and much more, deepen my attention.
The fact that someone who grew up in a family of generations of priests (an interesting coincidence with Tesla) can claim that human consciousness does not need an intermediary on the path to eternal truth, makes him definitely stand out from that group, the so-called public criterion.
Altruism and Advanced Spiritual Science
Altruism is one of the virtues that advanced spiritual science favors, and quantum physics scientifically explains. A person who dedicated his life to helping raise not only a few of his own adopted children, but also a wider community of colleagues, writers and poets, selflessly translating their works into several world languages, is worthy of special attention.
If I had not personally experienced this happiness, that my poems, translated into Chinese, Finnish, Bulgarian and even Sanskrit, see the light of day, perhaps this discovery would have escaped my attention.
History is written by the victors, and we know what virtues they possess. So we shouldn't get carried away with the idea that true deeds are not valued. Such history shouldn't interest us.
Initiating the Spark of Justice
But I will allow myself the luxury of initiating the spark of justice that is now close to me. Anyway, I want to say the following:
Thank You, Marin, for helping me recognize and find the way to Genius!

Contribution to WMFrS
Zlatan Demirović's contribution to the World Movement for Responsible Science is rooted in his profound understanding of human consciousness and spiritual development. Through his work with PRODIGY LIFE ACADEMY and his extensive literary achievements, he demonstrates how responsible science must acknowledge the deeper dimensions of human existence. His ability to bridge multiple languages and cultures, coupled with his commitment to selfless service in translating and promoting the works of fellow writers and poets worldwide, exemplifies the altruism that advanced spiritual science favors and quantum physics scientifically explains. His recognition of genius in others, particularly his acknowledgment of Marin Angel Lazarov's work, shows a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of consciousness, science, and spiritual truth.
