A central aspect to working with the Genius Symbols is to make one's own symbol deck, out of materials that one feels drawn to, and to inscribe the symbols oneself according to the instructions.

This makes any Genius Symbol set unique to the owner, and of course, the owner can make as many different sets at any time they want, as the symbols are free from any object, but can be applied to any object.

Here are some examples of every day symbol decks readers have sent in.

Recently recovered, here is the original Genius Symbols poem/spell/dedication which was created of course, using the Genius Symbols in the order and sequence they appeared on the day.

Here is a little story that might give you an idea or two of what (else) you can do with the Genius Symols.

A friend came to visit the other day, a very stressed business man. He said over and over that he was running after time all the time, always running out of time, never enough time in the day ...

The Genius Symbols are not just an excellent tool for creativity, they can also be used to create truly amazing and hugely powerful energy meditations, adding layer upon layer of intention to the nexus or focal point and culminating in the awesome "symbol sphere" when the sum becomes far more than the 23 component symbols.

And what's even better still is that The Genius Symbols make it so easy to build this meditation to get higher and more intense with every symbol added so even beginners can expect outstanding results.

Here is how to create a personal symbol sphere for World Energy Awareness Event on August 8th at 8pm.

The Genius Symbols can be used for many things. Many, many things! Amongst those many things is a quick exercise to relieve stress and to make it known to the energy mind, the conscious mind and all else who might be listening how we want reality to be. This is known as affirmations, and with this online game, you can make 23 positive affirmations that will make you feel better and keep your reality on track. Enjoy!

A fun little anecdote from a TGS afficionado has a highly strung fashionista girlfriend who was to attend a special event and throwing a tantrum over which one of four possible hair salons to choose for the perfect hair styling.

There's so many things you can do with the Genius Symbols - creative story telling is of course amongst them, and this can have many uses. A recent example is a story for terminally ill children, to inspire them and support them, created with the Classic Game by a student on the Genius Symbol course. Read the story, what the children thought to it and find out the contract that was used.

The day after watching The Apprentices and doing a spurious ideas exercise using the Genius Symbols, it came to pass that I was asked to come up with some ideas for a modern holistic 2 hour workshop as a bonus workshop for the 4th Annual Energy Psychology conference.

I phoned my good friend and long time collaborator Nicola Quinn QED and we both got our symbol decks out.

• In the following 73 minutes, we generated the following ideas and titles for 23 modern holistic workshops.

I just had the painful experience of watching the current contestants on The Apprentice failing to come up with any really good or novel ideas for a beach product. As so often, I said, "God, I wish just ONE amongst them had a Genius Symbol set in their pocket!"

And so for fun, here is the Apprentice Beach Challenge - with the Genius Symbols.

Here is a short video with an easy Genius Symbols beginner's exercise in how to use the symbols to ask for specific memories to be flashed up in response to a question or set up.

Simple as it is, this exercise covers many of the important principles of communicating with the energy mind, engaging in a conversation, steering and controlling visions (in this case, memories), and getting a broader perspective on the multi-level nature of the symbols. Plus this is also a strongly motivational exercise, and for more advanced users and TGS players ...

What is so cool about the Genius Symbols, amongst other things, is their amazing range. Sure, they can used for major creative visions that blow your socks off, and the most esoteric threshold shifts, but they are also immensely practical when it comes to every day occurrences.

Alex Kent, CEO of The StarFields Network, got hold of a pre-publication version of The Genius Symbols 18 months ago. Yesterday, a new company based on the direct vision he received on one  of his very first attempts to use the symbols to communicate with his unconscious mind (we call it the energy mind) started trading officially and took payment from the first customers.

This is a perfect example of how a vision functions differently from "just having a new idea" and provide much, much more information AND motivation to turn a vision into a fully functional, successful business.

Think of a problem or a situation for which you might need a new point of view to come up with a "thinking outside the box" solution.

The fountain symbol stands for pure creative energy, the wellsprings of our existence, the pure and unstoppable force that powers the Universe itself.
