the prodigy explained
The child prodigy has built up his tremendous aptitude in art or science by working hard during many past lives.

Child prodigies such as Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, van Dyck and Rembrandt already show their great aptitude for art during their youth.
They reach a height that other people cannot reach, no matter how hard they study and work.
After all, that grade of art cannot be reached within one life.
The gift of child prodigies was built up by themselves during many past lives of hard working and studying.
Life after life, they applied themselves to improving their art or science.
They could begin each next life with more feeling for that art or science, and as a result progress further in that life.
During the life that begins as child prodigy, they can then achieve the highest for art or science.
If they serve the development of mankind in this way, then they will also be inspired from the hereafter.
Then they contribute to the becoming conscious and the universal love which was brought to us two thousand years ago by the greatest child prodigy of all times, Christ.
