“How do such people come into this life with so much talent from an early age? His answer; ‘they attend various regions in the after life where they are trained to work on something of that nature’ to paraphrase him. So I would suppose that it would take many incarnations of work and experience as well as some degree of good karma to even be able to be able to go to those regions of the astral realm. Not to mention the infinite temptations of worldly life and fame that would hack away at their talent to express such innovative expression, once they were given the script. Such people are very complex and have many good and some challenging aspects to their persona. Through them we are often able to learn about ourselves as well, since everything we witness is part of our consciousness. Just as we have seen unkind words others have thrown at us as barbs, they also have had many unkind thoughts about one another yet there have been moments of understanding as well, and appreciation for all our life’s experiences.
That's an astounding concept. So talent wouldn't be just the fruit of the experience of previous lives, but something far beyond, targeted development of those abilities to superhuman levels. And it would be valid for different areas, such as the sciences, and mathematics and so on...
I have something to add to your considerations above, a couple of things actually.
First, talent is not a universal gift. More clearly, it is not universally accepted by everyone on earth, just by a large number of people. For example, I never liked the music of the Beatles, to me they are not the manifestation of a particular musical talent. The same I'm sure would apply to many people. Notwithstanding, I'm aware that they are recognized as the absolute founders of pop music and loved by tens of millions, maybe hundreds.
My point is that if talented ones become too proud, they would do better to notice that many people do not care at all of their gifts.
Last, we see that very often such extremely talented people lose their mental balance, this is often because they do not recognize their talent as an expression of God, but rather as an expression of their ego.
