So what has your child been doing lately?
How does one explain Mozart’s genius, particularly at such an early age? Genetics? Do we carry genes that determine how well we can compose or play the piano or violin. Do genes carry the “blueprints” via DNA for a myriad of other talents? Or is there a source of intelligence, skills and knowledge, from which someone like Mozart can tap?
Reincarnation might suggest Mozart in a prior life was a musician and a composer. This type of reasoning would say that Mozart had already accomplished much of the necessary groundwork for his skills and his genius and when he was born Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, he was well primed to begin work at a very early age.
Hey! that was easy! Reincarnation thus explains or offers a theory to justify this musical phenomenon. It may or may not be true, but the theory does have more appeal than to simply dismiss the existence of this child prodigy by merely saying he (or she) had been blessed with innate genius or natural ability. Why, for example, should anyone be “blessed” prior to her or his birth?
