Preface

I looked at my phone - six missed calls whilst I was in surgery: two local numbers.

I called the first, half recognizing it.

It was my doctor and ex-colleague.

“Manjir, I’ve been trying to get hold of you all day”

“I was in surgery, I had my phone switched off.”

“Manjir, your father has been on the phone again. He wants me to do another mental health check. He says you’ve been seeing angels and behaving really strangely.”

“But I saw you a couple of weeks ago. You said I was fine. Can’t I come in again this week and see you?”

“I’m afraid it has gone further than that. I have a psychiatrist here. We’re coming over.”

An hour later, my fledgling medical career was on the brink of collapse. Through my misery, a surge of energy and an inner knowing coursed through my being. I stood up and said, “This will be the making of me.

Introduction

“No more running down the wrong road

Dancing to a different drum

Can’t you see what’s going on

Deep inside your heart?”a

Michael McDonald

Sweet Freedom

Would you like to enter an exciting, new magical world? We are moving into a new era for the planet - some people see it as a period of destruction, but others also see the wonderful possibilities that are growing from the chaos. It is a time of tremendous change and upheaval, where the rules of life are no longer the same - we are shifting into a new reality. We are letting go of the structures that we identified with so closely - money, jobs, cars, big houses and becoming our true authentic selves and stepping into our true power.

It is time to hear the call of your soul, time to get truly authentic with yourself. It is time to get into your Genius Groove. The Genius Groove is about finding our own individual creativity - why it is we exist. It is about hearing your inner voice, that desire to be something more and greater than before. Each one of us is called to fulfill a purpose. Despite the fact that our daily lives often drown it out, there is a persistent tugging at our souls: this is our passion, our purpose, our Genius Groove.

This is the life we were born to live, the work we were born to do and our urge for a life with meaning and magic. This book is about understanding that hunger, knowing the forces that might have tried to quash it, understanding how to become your true authentic self and thereby entering into a New Paradigm in your life.

This era is so unprecedented in our history that some people are feeling lost, they don’t know what is happening or how to navigate the new world. There are sweeping changes moving through all areas - from our economy to religion to science. As the old systems are crumbling around us, some are looking within to finding who they truly are. By looking within, we can find our unique gifts. And when we find our Genius Groove, an amazing new life will emerge.

Many people are already entering into this new world, where there are different rules of the game. The so-called ‘received wisdom’ and ‘that’s just how things are’ don’t work here. There are a growing number of people who are living a new, different reality along side the old. They are finding an authentic way of living - they are in The Genius Groove.

Dancing with Myself

In my previous book, Punk Science, I outlined many of the scientific changes that are occurring, from the New Biology to Quantum Physics, before revealing my own theory, The Black Hole Principle - a new level of understanding of the universe.1

One of the responses to the book was that people wanted to know what this New Science means for our lives - how we can best utilize it. I can think of no better way to illustrate this than to describe how the New Science gives us a new view of genius and creativity, because it is our creative genius that is so fundamental to our beings, that is so globally transformative to our lives and helps us to cross the threshold into the New Paradigm.

The Genius Groove was born from my own understanding of how the universe works both from my direct mystical knowing and from my unique scientific viewpoint, backed by scientific data. Although I have discussed some of the ideas in The Genius Groove in my lectures and workshops, some have never been discussed in public or been in print before.

Since I started lecturing on the subject of the science of spirituality and, especially after the publication of my first book, quite a few people started to think that I am rather clever. Some people are saying that I am a genius.

This could not be further from my feelings about myself some years ago. In actual fact, I have spent most of my life thinking I am pretty average. Even though I worked hard in school, I never got the absolutely top accolades. I stumbled my way through medical school, barely scraping through, almost getting kicked out. I have failed numerous exams throughout my life including my driving test.

After scraping through my medical school finals, I finally became a doctor. After my house jobs/internships, I decided to train as a General Practitioner (GP) which meant doing six month posts in jobs such as Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pediatrics. During this time, numerous people told me that I would never amount to anything.

For much of my life, I just assumed I was stupid and incompetent. Yet in the last few years  I have been interviewed by various television channels including the BBC and have even gone head to head with Professor Richard Dawkins on a British documentary.2 I have published a scientific book which has gained international acclaim. In 2008, I was flown to Japan to join a top international group of just eight scientists and philosophers for a prestigious Science Symposium. Yet I haven’t even got a Bachelor of Science degree, having been refused entry due to my poor performance at medical school.

How is it that a person who has been pretty average in their career all their lives suddenly has the ability to achieve such things? I simply got into my Genius Groove and having learnt many lessons along the way, I can share them with you so you understand what The Genius Groove is and how to get into your own.

Let’s go all the way

This book is not another book on the power of manifestation or designed to buoy you up for five minutes only for you to come crashing down soon afterwards. We are going to be discussing a much deeper understanding of the universe, weaving in principles from the very cutting-edge of human understanding.

This book is not for the faint hearted. It may shock and disturb some people as the screens are pulled back to reveal hidden forces in society. Nor is the path of The Genius Groove an easy one - it can involve a dark night of the soul, facing hidden emotions and surrendering the ego. But the reward is a richer, more magical life and once you have stepped forward, there is no going back.

Welcome - Your life just got Groovy!
