It can be explained in the following way. All of us are born unique. This uniqueness is marked genetically in our DNA. We are a one time phenomena in the universe, are exact. Genetic makeup has never occurred before, nor will it ever be repeated for all of us. This uniqueness first expresses itself in childhood through certain primal inclinations.

For others, it can be an early attraction to visual patterns, often an indication of a future interest in mathematics. Or it can be an attraction to particular physical movements or special arrangements. How can we explain such inclinations? There are forces within us that come from a deeper place than conscious words can express. This primal uniqueness naturally wants to assert and express itself. But some experience it more strongly than others. With masters, it is so strong that it feels like something that has its own external reality, a force of voice destiny. In moments when we engage in an activity that corresponds to our deepest inclinations, we might experience a touch of this.
