Who is normal? I would list Buddha, Lincoln, Isaac Newton, Leonardo. Most would probably think of these luminaries as beyond normal. For me they represent 'true normal' - 'normal' in a non-statistical sense, a kind of normal having more to do with what is possible than with what is probable. "I shall urge that there is here [in the genius] no real departure from normality; [] but rather a fulfillment of the true norm of man. [] The differentia of genius lies in an increased control of subliminal mentation."(FWH Myers)
