Uploaded on Feb 9, 2009
http://www.ted.com "Eat, Pray, Love" Author Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius. It's a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.

Explains that odd feeling when you look back or read something brilliant that you wrote in the past and ask "who wrote that?" and wonder how in the world you ever came up with it in the first place.

Well, this must be why and how faith begun. A way to keep a fragile human mind sane.

To the ego that wants more and more, this is a meme that cannot be passed up.To those that know there is no ego, a beautiful and useful meme nontheless.Rare.
